History Recap / DoctorWhoS35E6TheWomanWhoLived

* WeAreAsMayflies: The Doctor and Ashildr both feel this of humanity. For Ashildr, she has come to see their lives as meaningless, wisps of smoke that vanish in a blink. For the Doctor, he sees this quality as a necessary counterpoint to immortals like himself and Ashildr, without which they would be incapable of seeing the beauty in life.
* WhatTheHellHero: Ashildr/Me delivers this to the Doctor over his reviving her with Mire technology and making her immortal, and then simply leaving for elsewhere. (Note that he left behind a second medkit she could give to a "companion" of her own so she wouldn't be lonely in her new state, but she hasn't found one even after centuries.)

* PaperKeyRetrievalTrick: Ashildr uses this to break into the mansion where the Eye of Hades is kept.

* EveryManHasHisPrice: The Doctor is insulted to learn that the bounty on his head is only twenty pounds...until he learns that the lawmen holding him consider that to be a small fortune. He then points out that he knows where Ashildr knows where she keeps a fortune of ''thirty'' pounds. They let him go for that.

* BlatantLies: When Ashildr asks if Sam Swift will now live forever, The Doctor actually asks her what she wants the answer to be before giving her a plausible reason it could be true.

* CompleteImmortality. Ashildr it appears is this.
* ContinuityNod:

* DefrostingIceQueen: Ashildr
* DoNotCallMePaul: Ashildr is ''very'' insistent on being called and referred to as simply "Me", since all those she ever loved by any name are now dead.

* GallowsHumor: A very literal example in the case of Sam Swift, who exchanges jests with the crowd while standing on the gallows waiting to be hanged.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Ashildr starts this episode as an antagonist but when her accomplice betrays her she returns to been an ally.

* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Clara doesn't appear in the Next Time trailer at the end of the previous episode, which instead focuses on the fallout from the Doctor's actions; the early review from the website Doctor Who TV explains she isn't a major player in this episode, the better to focus on his and Ashildr/Me's relationship.
