Quoth the raven: “Bring some tissues.”
A group of ravens is called a conspiracy for a reason: Theyre always stirring up trouble.
They knock on poets doors late at night and make them think about death.

I think the Doctor knows the feeling.
All thats left now is to figure out how we all feel about it.
It starts with a tattoo that isnt a tattoo.
The number on Rigsys neck marks him for the same fate.
Clara has an idea to buy them some time.
If she takes the chronolock from Rigsy, theyll both be safe.
Hes hesitant, but shes sure of her logic; trapping people at their own game is Doctor 101.
Anyway, Rigsy has a baby now.
Does he want his daughter growing up without a father just because he wouldnt take a risk?
Rigsy agrees, and Clara takes his burden.
The one piece of good news in all of this: Anna is alive.
Shes actually being kept there as bait for the Doctor.
Anna is freed as a teleport band closes around the Doctors arm.
NEXT: Does it need saying?
Rigsy and Anna were just pawns.
Is Clara about to die for a deal that she didnt make?
It looks like it.
And it feels…unfair.
The rule follower tried to outsmart the rules and lost.
Maybe this is what I wanted, she tells the Doctor.
Maybe this is why I kept running.
But theres still something hollow in it; Rigsy wasnt even in real danger.
Its all very Time Lord Victorious (The Doctor is no longer here.
She knows that his big revenge scheme could never withstand a crying child, anyway.
If this is the last I ever see of you, she says, kindly, not like this.
I am already that crying child.
Im not asking you for a promise, Clara says.
Im giving you an order.
You will not insult my memory.
There will be no revenge.
I will die and no one else here or anywhere will suffer.
Peter Capaldi breaks some hearts: What about me?
Clara actually pulls a Does it need saying?
on the Doctor, stopping him with a hug when he starts into a speech.
The bird flies into Clara, who screams out its black smoke and falls to the cobblestone.
Youll find that its a very small universe when Im angry with you.
And just like that, hes gone though not in the same way as Clara Oswald.
The next few weeks are going to be lonely.
