Face the Raven (TV story)

 was the tenth episode of the ninth series of Doctor Who produced by BBC Wales. The episode saw Rigsy and Ashildr return as well as Ashildr's first time interacting with Clara since the The Girl Who Died.

The episode marked the last regular appearance of Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald, as the character unexpectedly died during the episode's climax, and unlike Asylum of the Daleks and The Snowmen, this death would remain permanent.

Synopsis
The Doctor, Clara and Rigsy are trapped on an alien street in London, that is hidden from the rest of the world.

Ashildr, the immortal hybrid-girl, is taking care of some of the most dangerous creatures in the universe. Not everyone will get out alive, one of them must pay the price and face the raven.
