- TriviaBoth of the Eleventh Doctor's coats and the Tenth Doctor's trenchcoat are visible when Clara steals the TARDIS keys.
- GoofsDr Chang explains that the 'dark water' renders inorganic material invisible, however you can clearly see the chairs and the 'Activation' buttons in the tanks even underwater. You could argue that it's reasonable that the chairs are made of wood and covered with cotton, both organic materials, but this doesn't excuse the activation panels.

Clara Oswald: You're going to help me?
The Doctor: Well, why wouldn't I help you?
Clara Oswald: Because of what I just did, I just...
The Doctor: You betrayed me. You betrayed my trust. You betrayed our friendship. You betrayed everything... you let me down!
Clara Oswald: Then why are you helping me?
The Doctor: Why? Do you think that I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference?

We are greeted upon the arrival of the Tardis in the Nethersphere by Missy surrounded by skeletons. Moffat pulls at your emotional heart strings to figure out what happened to Danny Pink. We also want a resolution to who exactly is Missy and the purpose of the Nethersphere. We receive a chilling revelation about what happens to humans when they reach the Nethersphere.
Moffat being the master of misdirection occupies our attention with the Danny/ Clara drama. We also find out too late about the true nature of the Skeletons which turns out to be an old menace. Finally, the Doctor and Clara discover the true identity of the mysterious Missy. The viewer is left at the end of the episode by Moffat in a place of mortal peril and many left hiding behind their couch.
