Warning: This post contains spoilers, sweetie. If you haven't seen the episode yet, turn back and run. Run!

The latest episode of Doctor Who was quite a shocker -- even the Doctor didn't see it coming.

Self-sacrificing Clara Oswald ends up saving their friend Rigsy by taking his place against a murderous smoke-raven who must execute anyone marked for death by their former friend, the Viking Ashildr (Maisie Williams). Poor, brave Clara.

Fans have been pouring their hearts out on social media for the Impossible Girl -- who is gone but not forgotten.

Saw Doctor Who this evening... Do not read on...warning spoilers... 'Quoth the raven, "Nevermore".' Some water fell out of my eye. #Clara— Nicola Bryant (@thenicolabryant) November 21, 2015

Even if Clara hasn't worked in the minds of some viewers, I think it's undeniable that Jenna Coleman is a phenomenal actress. #DoctorWho— Toby (@Tobiiiaaas) November 21, 2015
