Summary: Clara makes up her mind to quit travelling with the Doctor.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.
Achieving some kind of balance in her life was causing Clara no end of problems; this new incarnation of the Doctor seemed unable to understand the concept of her having a personal life, something other than travelling with him whenever he wanted her company.
She had a job, and a boyfriend, but the way the Doctor behaved it was as if he considered such things a personal inconvenience. He’d show up, any time of the day or night, expecting her to drop everything and go with him.
Something had to change; she’d take one last trip then she was done.
The End
Well, we saw how that turned out.
Thank you.
If Clara couldn't be honest with Danny, that was a sign things weren't going to end well.
But he died, so... =(
Well lying is not a good foundation for any relationship. It's just another level of unfairness that Danny died. Especially in the way he did.
He even sacrificed an opportunity to come back. What exactly happened to that kid anyway's?

The Ninth Doctor just came from the Time War. The Doctor carried those bad memories with every generation.

Exactly. It's one of the injustices in this world that really should stop. Trauma should never be underestimated.
