Doctor Who: 9 Worst Things The Master Has Ever Done

9. The Witch's Familiar - Trying To Get Clara Killed

Sometimes it is more questionable when your foe is trying to be your ally, rather than trying to kill you.

This is the uneasy position the Doctor finds himself with Missy in the second part of the Series 9 opener, The Witch's Familiar.

Earlier on in the episode, to make their way into the Skaro city, Missy places the Doctor's companion Clara within a Dalek to act as prisoner and escort. However, after successfully making their way in, Missy abandons Clara, still inside the casing, to go and save the Doctor.

Having rescued the Doctor from Davros, Missy and her best friend stumble upon this Dalek. Seeing it, Missy tries to convince the Doctor that this Dalek has killed Clara, and that he should take revenge. The worst part of this whole torturous situation is that Clara inside is screaming out to stop him, but due to being inputted into the machine, her message gets skewed.

Thankfully the word mercy is within the Daleks vocabulary and the Doctor has a near miss exterminating his best friend.

In the end, Missy claims to be showing "the friend inside the enemy, [and] the enemy inside the friend," a slightly odd way to try get the Doctor back on her side.
