I'm a bit conflicted about this episode because I never much liked Clara and I felt she especially didn't really fit together all that well with 12, but I had kind of gotten used to her I suppose. Also, at first I thought that way of dying was incredibly stupid and lacked gravitas, but after some thinking it almost feels like the right way to go for Clara: she was always very quick to take incredible risks just to help people, and she had gotten lucky way too many times already. She framed it as just a clever idea with no danger involved but I'm pretty sure she knew there was a real risk and she just wanted to reassure whats-his-face (after seeing his daughter especially) and was willing to die in his stead if things didn't work out in either case. At least I really, really hope that's what happened because otherwise it would just be so stupid of her that she honestly deserved to die.
