7. Missy Puts Clara In Her Place

Love her or hate her, it was still hilarious to see Missy put Clara firmly in her place. Clara Oswald might think that she is the Doctor's closest friend but Missy had other ideas. "You see that couple over there?" she asks, pointing to the man and woman walking their dog. "You're the puppy."

Clara held her own, but there was no denying that Missy's perspective on the Doctor / companion relationship when it comes to her own long history with her fellow Time Lord. Missy and the Doctor are best mates - they might have tried to kill each other over the last few centuries - but that is just part of their twisted friendship.
