The Caretaker

So this evening, I settled down with a cup of tea to watch the latest episode of Doctor Who: The Caretaker. In this episode the Doctor goes undercover at Clara's school to find an alien robot....and Clara is not happy. The episode centers mostly around Clara, her boyfriend, Danny Pink, and the Doctor, with little to nothing about the alien robot. But overall it was a really good episode, but there is one particular scene that I want to talk about.

About 25 minutes into the episode, Danny Pink runs into Clara and the Doctor trying to fight the robot. Clara tries to lie her way out and when that doesn't work, she turns to the Doctor Who is flabbergasted at that this guy is her boyfriend. They get it to this fight where the Doctor criticizes her for dating a soldier and says she has made a "Boyfriend Error." He asked why she went out with a soldier, why not just get a dog or a big plant. To which Clara bursts
The Doctor is completely shocked and the look on his face....
To which Clara responds.
AND THEN THE HEARTBREAKING PART
Now this is probably mean to be in reference to the guy that the Doctor had earlier thought was Clara's boyfriend. BUT LOOK. HE IS POINTING TO HIMSELF. HE MEANS HIM. HE'S ASKING WHAT ABOUT HIM. DIDN'T SHE LOVE THE HANDSOME ONE WITH THE BOW TIE? DIDN'T SHE LOVE HIM WHEN HE WAS YOUNG AND HANDSOME AND HAD BOWTIES. HE'S CONFUSED AND CRUSHED BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THAT SHE LOVED HIM AND NOW SHE'S IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE. 

After the "What about the handsome one with the bow tie?" part, Clara says "What Adrian? He's just a friend. He's not my type."
NOT

MY TYPE

LOOK AT HIS FACE WHEN SHE SAYS IT. YOU CAN HEAR HIS HEART BREAKING IN A MILLION TINY PIECES.
BOW TIES ARE NO MORE.

So yeah, I had a good cry over that one.
