"How long were you standing there, Doctor?" The Brigadier questions, as his tears start to stop.
"Enough time to know why the two of you are crying. I won't go dying on purpose, Alistair. I promise." The Doctor says placing their hands on his shoulders.
"I'm sorry I got discorperated my dear. I'm sorry that you thought I died." Aziraphale states, pulling Crowley closer to him.
"It's not your fault, Angel. But you know how both Heaven and Hell have reacted to us stopping Armageddon. I think we should face them." Crowley answers.
Aziraphale nods and the two of them turn to the Doctor. They look directly at the two of them.
"My dear chaps, are you sure that you want to go back to 2019?" The Doctor asks.
"Yes, we do Doctor. It's time for us to face Heaven and Hell. We have to do this." Azirapahle responds, oddly calm about everything.
The Doctor nods their head. They pull the Brigadier to his feet.
"Come on Brigadier, let's bring these chaps home." The Doctor says, gently.
The four of them leave the Brigadier's office and head to the Doctor's lab. Jo had already gone home for the night, so it was quiet and dark. The Doctor unlocks the TARDIS and ushers the other three inside, before they step inside themself. Crowley and Aziraphale head to the wardrobe room to find their original outfits. The Brigadier stands very close to the Doctor, as they move around the council getting the TARDIS in flight. Just as the TARDIS starts going through the time vortex, Crowley and Aziraphale come back. They take their places by the council and take deep breaths. Were the two of them truly ready to face Heaven and Hell?

Crowley and Aziraphale hug both the Doctor and the Brigadier. Holding hands, they wave goodbye at the TARDIS, before walking inside Crowley's flat. When they open the door, all they can smell is Ligur's discorperated body. Azirapahle gags, but Crowley just brushes off the scent. Aziraphale miracles away the smell, and lets out a sigh. Crowley takes Aziraphale to the couch, the angel clearly exhausted. The demon was also tired, but not nearly as much as his partner.

The Doctor makes the Brigadier go straight home. The Brigadier tries to protest, but the Doctor is having none of it. They all but push the Brigadier into Bessie, shaking their head while doing so. And then they enter the yellow vehicle and drive back to the Brigadier's house. If the Brigadier isn't going to take care of himself, the Doctor guesses that they will have too. That is what partners do after all right?

Yates, Benton, and Jo are all hanging out at a gay bar. Liz had promised to come later, but for now it was just them three. A romantic tune came on and Benton pulled at Yates arms.
"Come on Mike, let's go dance. Jo, do you want to join us?" Benton questions.
"I'll be fine, Liz should be here soon. Go have fun boys." Jo grins while saying.
Her two friends make their way to the dance floor and start to slow dance.
