action

The twelfth doctor lands with his TARDIS at the south pole of the earth. Since he was badly wounded after a fight with the Cyberman, regeneration begins. Tired of the process, however, he holds it back. As he leaves the TARDIS, he notices a person who is wandering through the snow storm, who reveals himself to be his first incarnation. As it turns out, the first doctor is also about to regenerate and, like his future self, is also trying to prevent regeneration. Since the younger incarnations lose their memories of the meeting when the respective timelines overlap, the twelfth doctor cannot remember the fear of regeneration in his first incarnation. This worries him very much as he fears that his existence will be extinguished. At the moment of this realization, time begins to stand still and a captain from the First World War joins them.

Inside the TARDIS, the men try to find out what caused the frozen moment when the TARDIS is pulled aboard a large ship. On the ship, he meets his companion Bill Potts, whom he believed dead, and therefore has doubts as to whether it is the real Bill. The ship's glass pilots promise freedom to the doctors if they allow them to bring the captain back to the day of his death. The twelfth doctor refuses this request and flees from the ship together with his previous incarnation, the captain and Bill and they flee to the planet Villengard with the TARDIS of the first doctor.

At Villengard, the twelfth doctor meets a renegade Dalek , who gives him access to the Dalek's database. There he finds out that the glass pilots are the testimony who copy the memories of people at the time of their death and feed them into glass avatars. So Bill is one of those avatars. Since the twelfth doctor sees no malicious background in Testimony's actions, he agrees to bring the captain back to his time. Thus the group returns to earth in 1914.

When the captain takes his place again, the time begins to run again. Before he is shot by a German soldier, however, the Christmas peace is proclaimed and the captain is spared. Deeply moved by the deeds of his future incarnation, the first doctor returns to his proper place on the timeline and allows regeneration in the second doctor .

The twelfth doctor and the avatar of Bill are left alone on the battlefield. The doctor, still unsure whether he should allow the regeneration or let his life come to an end, gets the memories of his former companion Clara back from Bill. Nardole, another avatar of a companion of this incarnation, also appears to give the doctor a proper farewell to his friends. They also ask him not to die and to allow regeneration, because the universe needs him. When the avatars disappear, the doctor goes into his TARDIS.

After a brief hesitation, he allows regeneration. When the thirteenth doctor tries to operate the TARDIS, an error message appears. She falls from the control room in free fall towards earth while the TARDIS dematerializes above her.
