[WARNING: THE SPOILERS ARE NIGH, NO ONE WILL BE SPARED, NOT EVEN THE CHILDREN] . . . . . . . . . . . NOTE: After the second episode of the season finale, titled Death in Heaven airs, I will post a total synopsis for the two episodes. The following is all you get for now. At the beginning, Clara is talking over her phone to Mr. Pink, fully ready to admit she has been travelling with the Doctor and that she loves Mr. Pink, when the other end goes silent. A stranger picks up the now abandoned phone and sadly informs Clara that Mr. Pink got hit by a passing vehicle and has died. She struggles with his death for days, refusing to feel any real emotion, and those that she has, she holds on to with a fury. She then decides to call on the Doctor to make him change the past. Without telling him her plans, she suggests they go to an active volcano, and then secretly collects all seven of the TARDIS keys and after the TARDIS is in motion, strikes him with a sleep-inducing patch. When they land and the Doctor wakes up, she throws the keys one by one into the lava - the only way to destroy them - unless the Doctor takes her back to save Mr. Pink, despite knowing full well it would create a paradox. The Doctor soon reveals this was just a dream state; the patch not working on him and instead had used it on Clara; to learn why she was upset, and to see how far she was willing to go. He offers, as a friend, to see if they can find Mr. Pink in the afterlife, and has Clara use the telepathic interface of the TARDIS to vector in on Mr. Pink. They land in a strange mausoleum which holds thousands of tanks of human skeletons under blue liquid. They are greeted by Missy, who introduces herself as an android receptionist, and are taken to Dr. Chang, one of the scientists in the facility. The Doctor asks about the oddness of the skeletons not drifting apart, and Dr. Chang reveals that they are submerged in a substance called dark water, which only allows organic material to be seen, and that the bodies are encased in a support exoskeleton. The Doctor remains curious about the facility, and Dr. Chang explains how it was based on the discovery of the voices of the recently deceased in the white noise in broadcast signals; though the Doctor remains doubious of this. At the same time, Mr. Pink has regained consciousness in a Spartan office and is greeted by Seb, who reveals he is in the Nethersphere - a giant city enclosed within a sphere. Seb explains Mr. Pink has died, and helps him to get used to the new space, noting that he is still tied to the state of his body; likely being kept in a refrigerated morgue as he constantly feels cold. As part of this, Seb has arranged a meeting between Mr. Pink and a young boy that he had accidentally killed while he was a soldier, and while Mr. Pink tearfully tries to offer his apologies, the boy refuses and runs off. As Seb and Mr. Pink are talking, Seb then receives a notice that Clara is trying to contact Mr. PInk, who does not know that Clara has travelled to the Nethersphere. The Doctor leaves with Dr. Chang to investigate the facility further while Clara takes the call, asking a number of questions to try to assure that she is really speaking to Mr. Pink. Clara says she will do anything to be with him, and, wanting her to live out her life while believing that he is dead *sniffle*, Mr. Pink presses Clara to end the call. Seb then offers him the option to delete all his emotions. *bum bum bum* *you were supposed to read those bums as if they were moving down in pitch.* *sometimes I feel like my asterisks make things unnecessarily confusing.* Meanwhile, as the Doctor and Dr. Chang return to the tanks, Missy has instructed the skeletons inside to rise and starts the process to drain the tanks. She is caught as the Doctor and Dr. Chang enter, and Dr. Chang reveals that Missy is the supervisor of the place, rather than a receptionist. Disappointed with Chang, Missy then kills him with a handheld device. As the tanks start to drain, the skeletons are revealed to be those of Cybermen. Missy points to a spherical device situated in the middle of the area and names that as the Nethersphere, revealed to be a Gallifreyan memory storage system Matrix. Missy explains that the consciousness of the deceased are stored and held to be inserted into new Cybermen soldiers after having their emotions deleted. The Doctor frantically questions Missys identity, coming to realise she is a Time Lady possessing two hearts, which he had first recognized when they had come into contact earlier. As the tanks finally drain and open, the Doctor races out of the facility, only to discover that it is situated in the middle of contemporary London, inside St. Pauls Cathedral. The Doctor tries to warn away civilians but Missy calls out the Doctors actions as the ravings of a psychopath. The Doctor begs her to tell him who she is; she reveals that Missy is short for the Mistress, as, in her current form, she could not call herself the Master [how clever]. The episode ends as the Cybermen begin to march on London, Clara trapped in Dr. Changs lab with another Cyberman, and Mr. Pink about to activate the deletion of his emotions when he sees the young boy he killed in the reflection.
