Notes from wiki
Rachel Talalay Steven Moffat 1 July 2017 TBD 83
Escaping to the next floor of the ship, the Doctor tries to comfort
Bill, who has retained her humanity, though this is wearing thin.
This floor of the ship is a simulated countryside, where the group
helps defend the villagers from the oncoming Cybermen. Knowing they
are overwhelmed, the Doctor attempts to convince Missy and the
Master to help him. They refuse, though Missy seems conflicted.
Hoping to save the villagers, the Doctor tells Nardole to take them
to another floor while he sacrifices himself. Bill opts to stay
with the Doctor, and Nardole says goodbye, taking the villagers to
safety. Elsewhere, before escaping to their TARDIS, Missy betrays
the Master to help the Doctor by stabbing him in the back,
triggering the regeneration process. He shoots her in return,
killing her. The Doctor fights off the Cybermen, but is shot by the
now fully-converted Bill. He proceeds to blow up the whole floor,
killing himself. Bill somehow survives, with Heather appearing
before her. They kiss, and Heather reveals she changed Bill into
her species so she could live on. The two take the Doctor back to
his TARDIS, Bill using her species' healing powers to bring him
back before she and Heather leave to see the universe together. The
Doctor awakens as the regeneration process begins. He refuses,
attempting to stop it, and exits the TARDIS onto an icy planet,
where he is greeted by the First Doctor.
