What makes this Rani and the Fifteenth Doctor’s dynamic different to the past?

Without giving too much away for the finale, this is a Doctor and a Rani of a different time. The annihilation of the Time Lords has affected both these characters in different ways – some of which you can see in my episode. The way the Doctor is affected by the attack on the Arena comes from a place of trauma; and I think that’s something we should expect of the Rani as well.

So what is her long game... Resurrecting Gallifrey? With Conrad as a mold for Rassilon?

Resurrecting Gallifrey?

Hell yes!

With Conrad as a mold for Rassilon?

Uh....

Conrad as a mold for Rassilon

That was a joke, but now that I've slept on it... Wasn't Conrad's line in "Lucky day" —"Get off my planet" — exactly what the Doctor told Rassilon in "Hell bent"?
