The key to preventing a war is in the Osgood Box.
Youre talking nonsense to distract me from being really scared, Osgood says.
Its one of your known character traits.

Its one ofDoctor Whos known traits, too.
But the assumptions put me on edge its too easy to presume victory before its guaranteed.
Not every box is empty.
In the grand scheme of things, he can only ever expect to lose, both wars and companions.
Today, hes losing a war with himself about his companion.
What is it with Clara and dream worlds?
Dream worlds love her.
The Doctors hope phase gets more hellish.
He calls Bonnie, who keeps unintentionally winking, and tells Clara not to let Bonnie into her memories.
She cant give up the location of the Osgood Box.
The Doctor and Osgood met similarly unresponsive police officers back at the site of their crash.
Its as if the world is frozen: the calm at the eye of the storm.
If Clara lies, Bonnie will know, and shell kill her.
Two can play at the keeping Clara alive game.
As the guards return to Zygon form, Kate calls Bonnie, whos found the Osgood Box.
It has a twin.
Two Osgoods, two boxes: one to normalize the Zygons, and one to destroy them.
Within the box, Bonnie finds two buttons: one for Truth, and one for Consequences.
Bonnies buttons will either unmask the Zygons or lock them into human form forever.
But the parallels here are unavoidable, and all of them are handled messily.
The majority of Zygons would rather live in peace.
That isnt a good sign for anyone.
when Bonnie tells him theyve been treated like cattle.
Is it worth being silenced to maintain peace?
There are some issues too complex to be solved by a rousing speech from the Doctor.
But if anyone can make you want a speech to save the day, its Peter Capaldi.
The Doctor owns the room, trying every trick in his arsenal (American accent included.
ACCENT) to make Kate and Bonnie understand what theyre about to do.
No one else will have to feel this pain, he vows.
Not on my watch.
Kate steps away, but its Bonnie who figures out the game: The boxes are empty.
Peace is maintained, but hell never have to stop maintaining it.
War is so cyclical that even the second Osgood cant stay dead.
There goes the Doctors quest to figure out whether she was born human or Zygon.
