I Fought in a Bigger War Than You Will Ever Know

"When yous burn down that first shot, no matter how right you lot experience, Yous HAVE NO Thought WHO'S GOING TO DIE!"

^{Click here to see the Radio Times magazine poster for this episode:}
"When you see it, then you'll know why it's called an Osgood Box."

"I don't understand? Are yous kidding? Me? Of class I understand. I hateful, do you call this a war, this funny petty thing? This is not a state of war! I fought in a bigger war than you will e'er know! I did worse things than yous could ever imagine! And when I close my optics... I hear more screams than anyone could ever exist able to count! And you know what you do with all that pain? Shall I tell you where you put it? You hold it tight, till information technology burns your hand! And you say this: No one else will always have to live like this! No i else will e'er have to experience this hurting! Not on my watch!"

— The Dr., explaining what makes him tick since the Fourth dimension War.

The 1 where we learn the Doctor's true name is... Basil!

Sigh... Shall nosotros quote Rule One? ^note Don't talk about Fight Club?

As well the ane where Kate Stewart shows she is definitely her begetter'southward kid... by shooting stuff. With "five rounds rapid". Twice.

Written by Peter Harness and Steven Moffat.

Clara has been replaced past the leader of the Zygon rebels, Bonnie, who's simply fired a rocket at the Doctor'south plane. Kate Lethbridge-Stewart was attacked by another Zygon in Truth or Consequences, New United mexican states. Things wait dire.

Clara wakes up in her flat. She goes to the bathroom to castor her teeth, but the toothpaste has turned into disgusting blackness goo. She goes to her living room and turns on the Television, and sees through Bonnie's eyes. She checks the doors and windows, only to discover they're missing. She checks the paper, and finds it reads absolute gibberish, the classic sign of a dream. She sees Bonnie preparing to launch a rocket at the Medico's plane. Clara jolts the TV to one side, causing Bonnie to miss. Bonnie prepares to fire another rocket. This time Clara manages to delay her from firing. After the aeroplane has been destroyed by the second rocket, Clara rewinds and pauses the "footage", and sees two parachutes amongst the debris. She smiles.

Bonnie is back in London, and she'southward after someone. She follows a terrified Zygon, who just wants to live in peace, into his apartment, and does something to him that prevents him from maintaining control over his class. He flees in terror, and is recorded on camera running into a shopping mall in his true form. Bonnie posts this video to the Net. Clara, dreaming in her pod, manages to covertly text the Doctor a message without Bonnie'due south knowledge: DOCTOR, I'M AWAKE.

The Doctor and Osgood parachuted out of the airplane to safety. The Medico'southward parachute has a Union Jack printed on it, which he justifies every bit camouflage because "We're in Uk!" Osgood bankrupt her spectacles on landing, so the Doctor lends her his sonic sunglasses while he jury-rigs a repair. They walk into town. The Doc checks his messages, and discovers Clara's text. He'due south somewhat mystified as to why Bonnie would send him something like this, every bit he believes Clara to be dead. Osgood guesses the truth — that Clara sent it, and Bonnie is unaware. The Md and Osgood wind upwards stealing a van and taking off for London after a run-in with some suspicious law officers.

Bonnie goes to the Unit safehouse where she knows information on the Osgood Box tin exist establish. She finds a laptop, with the message from the Osgoods seen at the beginning of the concluding episode, in a safe behind a portrait of the Start Doc. She does not observe the box itself, and destroys the laptop in a rage.

So, what is the Osgood Box? What is its function in the peace between humans and Zygons? And what volition happen when Bonnie finds it?

Tropes:

• All There in the Script:
  • The Zygon who Bonnie turns dorsum is not named in the episode, merely in the credits is named as Etoine.
  • The Doctor'southward voice communication actually contains more dialogue, but was trimmed for the episode. During a later appearance in New Zealand, Capaldi read parts of the speech that were omitted. (Annotation: does not count as a deleted scene as there's no indication the longer version was really filmed; certainly no footage was included on the DVD release.)
• So What?: Asked by the Doctor to Bonnie about her plans for state of war and the Zygon society she plans to build afterwards. It turns out she hasn't thought that far ahead.

  The Doctor: And when this war is over, when yous have a homeland gratuitous from humans, what do yous recollect information technology's gonna to exist similar? Do you know? Have you thought nearly it? Have yous given any consideration because you lot're very close to getting what y'all want. What's it gonna be like? Paint me a movie. Are you gonna exist living in houses? Practice you lot want people to go to piece of work? Will there be holidays? Oh, will there be music? Practice you think people will exist allowed to play violins? Who's going to brand the violins? Well? Oh, you don't actually know, do you? Considering similar every other tantruming child in history, Bonnie, you don't know what you want. So let me ask you lot a question nearly this dauntless new world of yours: When you lot've killed all the bad guys, and it's all perfect, and simply, and fair, when you accept finally got it exactly the way you want information technology, what are you going to do with the people like you lot? The troublemakers. How are y'all going to protect your glorious revolution from the next ane?

• Arc Words:
  • "Truth or Consequences" for this two-parter. "Win" also turns upward over again (last brought up in "The Girl Who Died") when the Physician asks what Bonnie and her allies will do if those they subjugate rise upwardly confronting them: "Nosotros'll win." He warns her that "nobody wins for long".
  • Although not actually uttered, the serial arc word "hybrid" is reflected in the nature of the Zygons and how Clara and Bonnie were able to interact.
• The Atoner: In the end, Bonnie becomes the second Osgood in social club to maintain the peace that she tried to ruin and possibly make amends for the deaths she caused.
• Awesome, but Impractical: The Doc claims he in one case invented an invisible lookout.
• Boxing in the Eye of the Mind: Bonnie and Clara go through 1, with Clara causing Bonnie to miss shooting the Doc'due south airplane and then briefly turn back into a Zygon.
• Big Red Push button: The Osgood boxes have two buttons each and could wipe out either the humans or the Zygons with simply one push button.
• Blasphemous Boast: "I'm old plenty to exist your Messiah!" — The Md
• Blatant Lies: When the Doctor asks her her forename, Osgood throws the question back at him; he claims his first name is "Basil". (Of form, there are those who think that it's so breathy it just might be true…)
• Cursory Emphasis Imitation: The Doctor takes on an American Game Show Host'due south accent while explaining the deportment of the Osgood Boxes as a game rather than war.
• Phone call-Back:
  • The events that led to saving Gallifrey in "The Mean solar day of the Physician" inspired the creation of the Osgood Box.
  • And where are the Osgood Boxes kept? Fittingly, in the Black Archive.
• Tin't Kill You lot, Still Demand Y'all: Invoked by Clara, who notes that Bonnie won't kill her as long as she wants information. Bonnie points out that Clara won't be of any utilize if she says nothing at all, then Clara has to play along.
• Continuity Nod:
  • Kate uses her begetter's famous "Five Rounds Rapid" line (from "The Dæmons") to describe how she stopped the Zygon disguised every bit a sheriff.
  • The Doc invites Osgood to bring together him, merely like he did the other one simply before Missy killed her in "Expiry in Sky".
  • In that location's a damaged Mire helmet in a display case near the Osgood Box.
  • When Clara finds herself in her flat simply the doors and windows are missing, she immediately grabs a newspaper to bank check if she'due south in a dream, referencing "Last Christmas". Then she responds to Bonnie'due south threat to trigger her death within her pod with "Go along then."
  • The anti-Zygon Z-67 gas that's inside the Osgood Box was created by a human named "Sullivan". Patently, creating the gas yet hasn't improved the Doctor's attitude towards him, as he indirectly calls Harry an "imbecile" in this story.
  • The invisible watch the Doctor mentions might accept been the one he used in "The Caretaker".
  • Kate isn't the start member of her family to lose a chunk of memory.
  • This is the second time the 12th Physician'southward had his airplane blown up.
  • A subtle one: Dorsum in "The Beast Below," Amy talked nigh how the Dr. took all of his pain and and misery and loneliness, and it made him kind.

  "And yous know what you lot do with all that pain? Shall I tell you lot where you lot put it? You hold it tight, till it burns your hand! And you say this: No ane else will ever accept to live like this! No one else volition e'er have to feel this pain! Not on my watch!"''

• Cantankerous-Referenced Titles: With its beginning part, "The Zygon Invasion".
• Bike of Revenge: Discussed by the Medico, who points out that conflict is cyclical unless someone chooses to break the cycle. Revolutionaries, when they are finished, are revolted against in their turn.
• Deliberately Monochrome: The Osgoods' videos regarding the Osgood Box. It's deliberate and so that viewers (in- and out- of universe) don't learn what colour the Osgood Box is.
• Didn't Call back This Through:
  • Pointed out when the Doctor says he once invented an invisible watch.
  • The Doc convinces Bonnie to stand down, in part, by pointing out that she has no program beyond "break the ceasefire".
  • In retrospect it could too be practical to the entire ceasefire scenario, every bit transplanting twenty million aliens amongst the human population was never going to go completely according to plan.
• The Dividual: Bonnie becomes an Osgood at the terminate of the episode, making there two again. We still can't tell which is which. ^note Although Ingrid Oliver claims there is a fashion to tell them apart in that scene.
• Practise Not Arrange Your Fix: Played with. Bonnie shows upward on the television in Clara's Mental Earth. Clara attempts to modify the aqueduct, just Bonnie'south on every ane.
• Dressing as the Enemy: Kate pretends to be a Zygon to infiltrate Bonnie's ranks and learn her plan.
• Driven to Suicide: The Zygon civilian whom Bonnie robs of his mimicry power kills himself rather than risk trusting the Doc or existence found by either the rebels or a man lynch mob.
• Driving Question: What'due south in that Osgood Box, and how can information technology help save the Earth once the Godzilla Threshold has been crossed? Does information technology contain the nerve gas Unit of measurement developed to impale off Zygons, mentioned as having been stolen by "someone with a TARDIS" in the previous episode? Or something else?
• Easily Forgiven: Invoked by Bonnie herself when she asks who would forgive her... the Doctor is the answer! "I forgive you!" Just similar that. And clearly Petronella has forgiven Bonnie, as she allows her to become the second Osgood.
• Embarrassing Browser History: When the Doctor easily Osgood his sonic sunglasses, he warns her not to check his browser history. She does just that, and is quite surprised by what she finds ("Whoa!").
• Embarrassing Kickoff Name: Petronella Osgood. She insists on Last-Name Basis.
• Emo Teen: The Doctor calls Bonnie a "screaming kid throwing a tantrum" because she thinks she's so horribly oppressed, and no i tin sympathise her and how it's not fair.
• Evil Gloating:
  • Information technology's revealed that Kate survived the cliffhanger because the Zygon that was well-nigh to impale her stopped to indulge in a fleck of gloating laughter, giving her time to shoot it.
  • Bonnie gets in a few licks at Clara's expense when she reveals that Clara's major ability in this situation — the ability to lie — won't work this time.
• Exact Words: Unable to lie to Bonnie, Clara instead attempts this. Bonnie catches on, though, so she asks questions to get around it. Withal, she can't kill Clara as long equally Clara has something to tell, so it keeps Clara alive.
• Expo Characterization: In Clara's mental world, the toothpaste has a characterization on proverb "This is Toothpaste".
• Fighting from the Within: Clara uses the psychic link with Bonnie to control her actions to an extent such as sending the Doctor a message to confirm that she's still alive. She also, rather unexpectedly, is able to forcefulness Bonnie to momentarily revert to her Zygon class.
• 5 Rounds Rapid: How Kate killed the Zygon who was impersonating the sheriff. She even mentions the trope by name — like father, like girl.
• Five-Second Foreshadowing: Osgood, who is a fan of the Dr., asks him what TARDIS stands for. A few moments later it turns out that there are 2 Osgoods, and one of them is brand new.
• Fluffy the Terrible: Bonnie the Zygon. Even the Doctor can't take that seriously and bestows upon her the more advisable appellation of Zygella, though she refuses to respond to it. (Hilariously, Clara has a more sinister-sounding name than her impostor, while Osgood's first name likewise would have been better suited for the villain.)
• Forgiveness: A major theme. Etoine fears he won't be forgiven and be able to return to his life, so kills himself. Bonnie thinks she's come besides far to be forgiven, but the Doctor forgives her. He says, "The only fashion anyone can alive in peace is if they're prepared to forgive."
• Foreshadowing:
  • The primeval hint that Clara is in a dream is when the time on the digital clock changes each time she looks at it. Checking a clock repeatedly is a common way for lucid dreamers to train themselves to realise they're dreaming, equally writing changes every fourth dimension it is looked at in a dream, a fact referenced in the before episode "Last Christmas".
  • The Doctor'south nickname for Bonnie actually foreshadows her eventual fate: "Zygella" becomes the new second Petronella Osgood.
  • Clara'south apparent death, and the Doctor's reaction, foreshadow events coming later in the flavor.
• Full-Circle Revolution: The Doc asks Bonnie, even if the Zygons succeed what will they do against another revolution?
• Heel–Face Plough: Later learning about the Time War, Bonnie gives upwards trying to offset another war and instead works to maintain the ceasefire, ultimately saying cheerio to the Doctor on expert terms.
• He Who Fights Monsters: The Doctor claims that if the Zygons are cruel to the people who they recollect take oppressed them, and so this will lead to more than people being vicious to them considering they themselves were fell.
• Hypocrite: Bonnie tries to blame the Doctor for the impending human being-Zygon war while simultaneously hand-waving her own responsibleness for events past claiming that I Did What I Had to Practice. The Doctor throws it back in her face by pointing out that, well, he did what he had to practice at the time as well; she doesn't get to weasel out of her own responsibleness so hands.
• I Did What I Had to Do: Bonnie claims this for her actions while spitefully trying to arraign the Doctor for the homo-Zygon state of war. The Medico simply points out that he did what he had to practice at the time as well.
• I Lied:
  • The message from Osgood about the location of the Osgood Box. It's a decoy for anyone trying to intermission the armistice.
  • Averted with Clara, who is forced to rein in her lying abilities with Bonnie and simply tell truths.
• I've Come Too Far: Bonnie believes this and information technology is role of why she won't stand downwards. If she does, she volition be punished severely simply the Doctor says he is willing to forgive her.
• Karma Houdini: Despite Bonnie beingness directly responsible for many deaths (including of Jac, an private with dominance within Unit of measurement), she suffers no punishment other than a verbal dressing down from the Doctor, after which he forgives her. Unit even lets her become the second Osgood. (Nonetheless, it should be noted that at the end of the speech Kate Stewart's memories of the discussion are erased; nosotros don't know that, as far as she's concerned, the new Osgood could be a different Zygon entirely and Bonnie escaped or was killed.) This, it should too exist noted, is also part of the theme of the episode: while karma/retribution may be viscerally satisfying it ultimately but makes things worse and perpetuates misery. Forgiveness may be less immediately satisfying and uncomplicated, but it's the healthier selection, and breaking the chain of resentment and violence has to showtime somewhere.
• Kirk Summation: The Dr. spends the climax telling Bonnie that her Evil Plan doesn't make sense and she should stand down. She hasn't thought it through, she'll eventually exist in Kate's shoes facing new revolutionaries, and despite all she'due south done, she isn't unforgivable. He eventually brings her around to his way of thinking.
• Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation-Guided Amnesia: The Black Archive and its memory-wiping engineering are featured over again. The Doctor uses it to erase the memories of Kate and Bonnie's Zygon guards, simply not Bonnie herself. Clara and Osgood are as well spared.
• Legacy Grapheme: There are one time over again two Osgoods. Information technology's entirely possible that neither of them is the original Osgood. "Information technology doesn't matter which is which. All that matters is that Osgood lives."
• Life Isn't Off-white: Bonnie justifies that she did what she had to practice on the grounds that what's happened to the Zygons isn't fair. The Doctor points out that just because it isn't fair doesn't make them any amend than humans; they but desire the take a chance to be cruel to the ones who've been vicious to them.
• Living Lie Detector: Bonnie is able to tell when Clara'southward lying because their heartbeats are in sync.
• Lotus-Eater Auto: Clara's consciousness, while she is impersonated past Bonnie, inhabits a nearly accurate replica of her apartment, except for odd details such every bit gibberish printed in newspapers and generic (and gross) toothpaste. All the same, she is able to communicate with the outside world and, somehow, can even replay some of Bonnie's memories on her head!Idiot box, PVR-way.
• MacGuffin: The Osgood Box is deliberately created as a lure for people (human or Zygon) who want to terminate the peace treaty. It's what drives the search of this episode and forms the climax.
• Malicious Misnaming: The Doctor keeps calling Bonnie "Zygella", simply to annoy her.
• Mental World: Clara's mindscape is represented as her apartment with all the doors and windows sealed. The Boob tube serves equally a link to Bonnie's optics (and, apparently, memories, as Clara is able to play back Bonnie'due south view of the explosion, PVR-style).
• The Mirror Shows Your True Self: The kickoff fourth dimension Bonnie passes a mirror, the reflection is of the existent Clara, who is merely beginning to become aware of her state of affairs. She notices this but when she looks back it is a normal reflection.
• Multitasked Conversation: At one point, the Doctor is speaking to Bonnie, simply he knows that thank you to their mental link, Clara tin can hear him. He warns Clara not to reveal the location of the Osgood Box, knowing that this will actually spur Bonnie to endeavor to listen-probe Clara for the information. His program really hinged on Bonnie finding it.
• Never My Fault: Bonnie, the rebel Zygon commander, whose Evil Plan has driven this ii-parter, blames the Doctor for the Osgood Box state of affairs. The Md throws it back in her face; if she's going to throw blame at him while simultaneously claiming that I Did What I Had to Do for herself, well so he can practice the same.

  Bonnie: Yous are responsible for all of the violence. All of the suffering.
  The Doc: No I'k non.
  Bonnie: Yeah!
  The Doctor: No.
  Bonnie: Yes! You engineered this state of affairs, Doctor; this is your fault!
  The Doctor: No it'south not; it'due south your fault.
  Bonnie: I had to do what I've washed.
  The Doctor: [shrugs] So did I.

• New Powers as the Plot Demands: As a further sign of Clara condign the Physician'due south Distaff Counterpart, Clara exhibits extraordinary mental abilities, being able to physically manipulate Bonnie remotely (recall, Bonnie is not using Clara's body), at one indicate fifty-fifty forcing Bonnie to revert to Zygon form. She's as well able to shield some of her memories from Bonnie. No graphic symbol has ever been shown before having this level of command over a Zygon.
• "No More Holding Dorsum" Speech: The War Is Hell speech the Doctor gives Bonnie perfectly sums upward everything that'south driven him since the Time War.
• No-Sell: Having been exposed equally a Zygon by Bonnie, the Zygon civilian refuses to trust the Doctor when the Time Lord attempts to arroyo him, and promptly uses his Disintegrator Ray on the Doctor. The Doctor is slightly phased, but otherwise suffers no ill effects.
• Noodle Incident: The terminal situation has happened 15 times before. At to the lowest degree, Kate has learned the secret of the Osgood Box that many times. The episode leaves it cryptic every bit to whether this means the Md was forced to brand his speech xvi times in a row or if there have been 15 divide prior incidents of this nature (or a combination of both).
• Not a Game: How the Doc describes state of war, emphatically; he fifty-fifty compares the Osgood Boxes to a game show to show them how ridiculous they're being. He has seen state of war and never wants to see it over again.
• Cipher Is the Same Anymore: We now know that every modern-24-hour interval episode set on Earth since "The Day of the Doctor" takes place with tens of millions of Zygons pretending to be man. Statistically speaking, this means whatsoever number of human being characters seen in contemporary episodes could be Zygons.
• Not So Stoic:
  • Noted by Osgood when the Doctor, later determining that not only is Clara still alive, but she'south effectively engaging Bonnie from within, can't stop grinning.
  • The Doctor comes close to breaking down in tears several times during his spoken language. Then does Bonnie.
• Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Clara, in her "mental world", fighting to make Bonnie wink a message to the Doctor.
• Pragmatic Hero: When a Zygon was most to attack her, Kate just shot information technology.
• Real False Door: When Clara is in her "dream" flat, the door opens to a wall, and the windows are just missing, so that the curtains cover up more of the wall.
• Refusal of the Telephone call: At the end, the Md asks Osgood if she wants to come with him in the TARDIS; she replies that she does, more than anything, but that her duty lies on Earth. It's not then much refusing the call equally acknowledging that she'southward already answered a different one.
• Reverse Psychology: The Doctor tells Clara not to let Bonnie into her memories, and not to tell her where or what the Osgood Box is. Bonnie uses this to find out where the Osgood Box is, though she is unable to discover out what it is till she gets there. This enables the Md to stop Bonnie.
• Sadistic Choice: Invoked by the Doctor apropos the Osgood box. There are two of them, with ane of them interim in favor of the humans, and one for the Zygons. However, opening either box reveals there are two boosted choices: "Truth" or "Consequences". On the man side, the box will either kill every Zygon on the planet via toxic nerve gas released into the temper, or impale everyone in London (including all the commanders present) via the nuke placed under the Black Archive. On the Zygon side, one option reveals the identity of every Zygon on the planet, inducing mass panic in the population and igniting war, while the other locks the Zygons into one grade — their natural form or their human form (whichever they happen to be in at the moment), and they tin never alter information technology. Then Bonnie figures out that the whole thing is a bluff — the boxes are empty — merely the choice they correspond is notwithstanding real.
• Shapeshifter Manner Lock: The Doctor warns Bonnie that the Osgood box tin either reveal every Zygon on Earth, or lock them in their homo forms.
• Shout-Out:
  • The Medico's brief simulated of a game bear witness host is a subtle nod to an erstwhile American game show titled, aptly enough, Truth or Consequences. (Which the town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, deliberately named itself after.)
  • The Doctor escapes the plane by using a parachute with a Spousal relationship Jack blueprint. Given the "espionage thriller" undertones of the two-parter, it's a pretty fitting reference.
  • The Doctor's function-mocking, part-affectionate nickname for Bonnie, "Zygella", seems to be a nod at Nigella Lawson.
  • The Physician tells Bonnie "That would be telling."
• Talking the Monster to Death: The Dr. "defeats" Bonnie past talking her into to a Heel–Face Turn, via a combination of And And so What? and State of war Is Hell.
• Tantrum Throwing: Bonnie smashes the laptop on hearing from the 2 Osgoods recording information technology that the Osgood Box isn't there.
• Fourth dimension Noise: The Doctor claims that when he thought Clara was dead information technology was the longest month of his life. When Clara says it could only have been five minutes he says "I'll be the gauge of time."
• Tom the Dark Lord: Nope, your ears weren't deceiving you in Role 1. The supposedly evil and fell commander of the rebel Zygon faction does, indeed, choose to telephone call herself Bonnie. Even the Doctor is having none of that by bestowing upon her the nickname Zygella instead. It'south possibly a meta in-joke, as in the Archetype Era a character like this would most certainly accept had a name like Zygella. It's as well possible that she calls herself "Bonnie" because all the Globe-hatched Zygons were given human names only. It also illustrates how little she actually knows about Zygons' native civilisation, for all her professed commitment to racial identity. Finally, information technology's possible the name was called past the writers to illustrate the point made in the Doctor's state of war speech communication that the Zygons are no different than the humans in well-nigh respects. Possibly lampshaded by the fact Osgood's outset proper name is the exotic-sounding Petronella — again, a name that might accept been more appropriate than Bonnie.
• Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: Bonnie proves incapable of probing Clara'southward memories, and their link allows Clara to momentarily revert Bonnie to Zygon form once she gets the hang of it — she is fifty-fifty able to physically manipulate Bonnie into missing with the RPG, texting the Doctor and winking. The merely reward Bonnie has is that she's the ane who's conscious, so she could kill Clara if she wanted. It's invoked by the Doctor when he effectively tells Bonnie that Clara's mind contains the intel she seeks.

  The Md: The listen of Clara Oswald... she'll never detect her way back out.

• The Unmasqued World: Bonnie and her beau rebel Zygons intend to create this by forcing every Zygon in the earth to revert back to their Zygon form. This will freak out the humans and drive the Zygons into the radicals camp.
• The Un-Reveal: Osgood is Osgood. Whether there are now two Zygons sharing the original Osgood'south trunk print or one new Zygon replacing the Osgood Missy killed, the nature of the surviving Osgood is upwards for grabs. (Notwithstanding, at one bespeak, the not-Bonnie Osgood tells the Md she never really met Clara... even so Clara and Osgood did meet in "The Twenty-four hour period of the Doc", hinting that the Osgood who died in "Death in Heaven" may well have been the original man Osgood subsequently all, or information technology could exist another red herring like "Zygons don't need to go along the original body alive anymore".)
• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: The teenagers at the mall don't react to the Zygon civilian'south gradual demorphing, because they're Zygon rebels.
• Villainous Breakdown: Bonnie has two; beginning when she discovers that Osgood lied well-nigh the Osgood Box location, and again afterward she learns that there are two Osgood Boxes.
• War Is Hell:
  • When Bonnie insists she wants war, as she feels she's crossed a Moral Effect Horizon, the Doctor makes it clear the things she'due south done are nothing compared to the horrors he's committed and seen. Quoted above.
  • The Medico'south response when he is confronted by Kate and Bonnie regarding the Osgood boxes.

    The Medico: Because it's non a game, Kate! This is a calibration model of war! Every war ever fought right there in front of y'all! Considering it's always the same! When y'all fire that first shot, no matter how right you experience, you take no idea who's going to die! You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn! How many hearts will exist cleaved! How many lives shattered! How much blood will spill until everybody does what they were always going to have to practise from the very beginning: Sit AND TALK!

• We Will Not Apply Photoshop in the Future: Patently, the Zygon rebels think that no-one is going to question a grainy cell-telephone video of a guy looking like he's wearing a rubber suit uploaded on YouTube. Too bad they didn't prove the comments section of the video postal service. Probably would've been filled with replies like "Lame!" and "Manifestly fake!"
• Wham Line: The revelation that this isn't the starting time time Kate's institute her style to the Osgood Box.

  Kate: This is all very well, but we know the boxes are empty now. We can't forget that.
  The Dr.: No, well, er, y'all've said that the last fifteen times.

• What Happened to the Mouse?: We never learn what ultimately became of lilliputian Sandeep from Part 1.
• When He Smiles: When he realizes that Clara is non merely nonetheless alive merely fighting dorsum against Bonnie, the Doctor tin can't stop himself from grinning, which makes Osgood remark that she'd never seen him smile like that before.
• You Are a Credit to Your Race: The Medico says this to Osgood. Both Osgoods answer that they are credits to both species.
