It’s just occurred to me that Bill and Clara act as each other’s spiritual guardians in a strange sort of way at the beginning and the end of Series 10.
In The Pilot, it’s the memory, or rather the lack thereof, of Clara that convinces the Doctor not to wipe Bill’s mind, and subsequently invite her to travel with him in the TARDIS. Clara’s legacy changes everything for her.
In Twice Upon a Time, as one last gift, Bill gives the Doctor back his memories of Clara, almost like she’s returning the favour. Bill’s compassion and hope finally heals the wounds left when he forgot her, bringing them the closure they needed.
These two women never met onscreen, yet they both did the most wonderful thing for each other and for the Doctor. I love Bill Potts and Clara Oswald and their silly old Doctor so much.
