"What a smart move for an episode that playfully underlined the idea of \"misdirection\" to instead do exactly what it implied it would do. I mean, as soon as the idea of transferring the death tattoo was introduced it seemed that Clara had to end up with it. The whole season- Clara's whole run- has been building to that moment. So what would the misdirection be? Even as Clara stood in the street waiting for death I thought the raven would fly past her or through her and into the Doctor instead. Because, come on, they've been signalling misdirection all episode, something unexpected has to happen, right? But no, the greatest misdirection was no misdirection at all. Well played."
