** But this back[[JustForPun fires]] in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS39E4FluxChapterFourVillageOfTheAngels "Village of the Angels"]].

As the burning paper unfolds in the flames, the Angel reappears as a ''[[InfernalRetaliation flaming]]'' projection, so the Doctor has to douse the flames to get rid of it permanently.
