In the cliffhanger, with nothing left to lose, he appears to be ready to save his friends by going back to that day and exterminating the boy. It is an act that would defy his chosen name and principles, effectively make him a god, and rewrite, if not destroy, the entire universe's history.

But even at the DespairEventHorizon, can he do such a thing? Is there another way he might remedy a mistake made in a moment of weakness and prove the true depths of his courage and strength?

Part 2 of the opening two-parter of Series 9. Features

At
the return end of Missy "The Magician's Apprentice", the poor Doctor was begging for mercy that would not be granted him. Having chosen to abandon an attempt to rescue a young Davros from a hand mine field upon realizing who the boy was (leaving him nothing but a sonic screwdriver), in the present the Doctor -- now a prisoner of the dying scientist and Kate Stewart.the Daleks on Skaro -- helplessly watched as Clara, Missy, and even the TARDIS were exterminated by the Daleks.

In the cliffhanger, with nothing left to lose, he appears to be ready to save his friends by going back to that day and exterminating the boy. It is an act that would effectively make him a god and rewrite, if not destroy, the entire universe's history.

But even at the DespairEventHorizon, can he do such a thing? Is there another way he might remedy a mistake made in a moment of weakness and prove the true depths of his courage and strength?

** Also, general Series 9 trailers and press releases made it pretty clear that Clara, Missy, and the TARDIS weren't KilledOffForReal at the end of the previous episode. However, the specific promos for this episode don't feature them, meaning the ''real'' cliffhanger is just how they survive and get back into the action.
