“Doctor Who” ended last season on Jenna Coleman’s departure after a three-year run as the Doctor’s companion,Clara Oswald. It appeared this was the last time we’d see the duo onscreen together, but star Peter Capaldi suggested otherwise at a recent sci-fi convention.
If you missed Claras farewell last season, and you missed one of the most convoluted sendoffs any companion has ever received. After watching her obtain killed off in “Face the Raven,” the Doctor tricked the corrupt Time Lords into reviving Clara to a state between life and death. He then jacked a TARDIS and took Clara on the run, intending to remove Claras memories of him and their adventures to withhold the Time Lords from hunting her for information. Instead, and Clara turned the tables on the Doctor and removed his memories of her,choosing instead to travel the universe with Ashildr in their own TARDIS. Whew. Remember when a companion just left by giving the Doctor her number and a simple goodbye?Well, as it turns out, or Clara might not have been totally successful with that memory wipe. During a “Doctor Who” panel at Awesome Con in Washington,D.
