* The Doctor and Clara's summation of what happened:
--> ''Heidi wakes up''\\
'''Doctor''': Morning.\\
'''Heidi''': What happened?\\
'''Doctor''': The Big Bang, dinosaurs, bipeds, and a mounting sense of futility.\\
'''Clara''': More recently, Chuckles hit Lofty over the head, on his helmet, with his sword, which knocked him out. There was a little blood, which you saw and... ''Heidi looks at Lofty and passes out again'' did that.
* Clara asks the Doctor how the preparations are going:
--> '''Doctor''': Well, Heidi faints at the mention of blood - not just the sight anymore, he's actually upgraded his phobia.

He and the students just stare at the tiny English teacher being personally requested by the government and military in complete bewilderment as she casually puts on her jacket, notes she'll need the rest of the day off, and leaves.

** Heck, the whole idea of Jack and Ashildr is pretty funny in itself.



** It's particularly funny since it's later established that said soldier has served with the Doctor before, and presumably knows very well a) that the Doctor never carries weapons and b) that he's at his ''best'' unarmed.



** It's also a great bit of lampshade hanging. After all the speculation following ''Day of the Doctor'' about how the Doctor would return to Gallifrey, Moffat just sidesteps it entirely.



* The Doctor tells Clara of the last time he was in the Cloister: "I was a completely different person in those days. Eccentric, a bit mad. Rude to people." Gee, you think, Doctor?
