Episode 7: The Zygon Invasion
In the aftermath of the previous Zygon attack on Earth, some of the humans allowed 20 million Zygons to remain on earth, disguised has humans. The Doctor receives a warning from Osgood that something called the Nightmare Scenario has happened. The Doctor works out that there must be a couple of Zygons that want to invade earth. As President of the World, he goes to Turmezistan, where Osgood is being held hostage, to try and stop them. Clara joins Jac to investigate problems with lifts which leads to the realisation that they lead to a secret Zygon command centre. Clara reveals herself to be a disguised Zygon called Bonnie, who had switched places with the real Clara, and kills Jac, while Kate Stewart is attacked by a Zygon while investigating in New Mexico. The Doctor rescued Osgood from where she was being held captive and heads back to London but Bonnie fires a missile that shoots down the plane.

These episodes are good because it brings back the characters like Osgood, some of which are from the Matt Smith seasons, like Osgood still wears a bowtie like Matt Smith did. It was like bringing back all the old Doctor Who episodes for like a reminder of what it used to be like and how its changed. Episode 7 and 8 are very good, fun, exciting episodes and I personally really like them.

Episode 8: The Zygon Inversion
The Doctor and Osgood survive the plane crash. Bonnie could tell if Clara was lying or not, and found out that the Osgood box, which says what to do to fix Zygon-Human conflict, is held in the UNIT’s Black Archives. Clara is able to break through Bonnie’s thoughts and got control. She told The Doctor where Bonnie is. Kate joins The Doctor and Osgood, telling them that she is pretending to be a Zygon to get information from Bonnie. They arrived at the Black Archives, where Bonnie is holding Clara hostage and has found two Osgood boxes, one that can remove all Zygon disguises and the other can release gas to kill all of the Zygons. When Bonnie and Kate get ready to activate their boxes, The Doctor managed to convince them not to do it. Bonnie realised that the boxes are empty as a ploy but agrees to peace anyway. The Doctor invited Osgood to join him and Clara in the TARDIS, but she says no because both her and Bonnie have decided to look after the Osgood boxes and keeping the peace between human and Zygon.

The episode had good writing with plot twists all the time like thinking that The Doctor was going to die when the plane got shot and that they might choose the wrong box, but when in Doctor Who reality both boxes were empty. It was a very good episode

Episode 9: Sleep No More
The Doctor and Clara travel to Le Verrier, which is a space station in the 38th century in orbit above Neptune. The Doctor explains to Clara that she can’t put space in front if everything when she asks him if he is taking her to a space restaurant. He explained that it is just restaurant because he doesn’t call it an Earth restaurant. In the space station they meet a rescue team consisting of four people. They were at the space station to fell silent 24 hours before. They then met a man called Gagan Rassmussen, who is the creator of a machine called the Morpheus pod, which is meant to reduce the amount of sleep for a person to allow them to sleep more. These sleep pods also made the sleep dust in the corner of your eye when you sleep into a life form called Sandmen who were the apparent cause for deaths of the Le Verrier crew. Rassmussen, claiming to be working with the Sandmen, planned to send the longest mutated Sandman upon humanity to multiply, but The Doctor and Clara foil his plan and leave the station as it crashes into Neptune. But Rassmussen, revealed to be a Sandman himself, actually orchestrated the events to use assembled footage recorded from the Morpheus victims’ vision to create an exciting video to transmit the Morpheus video to unwary viewers and spread the virus.

I really didn’t understand this episode and I don’t really like it and I had to look it up online to find out what was actually happening in it. I guess every season has one bad episode in it though. This is the worst one, in my opinion, though. A lot of Doctor Who viewers are either under 16 or over 30, although a lot of teenagers have stopped watching since Matt Smith left, which is stupid because Peter Capaldi is just as good, if not better. My point is not many people would understand this without watching it a lot of times because it is very complicated.
