This could be an idle cerebration , inspired by the latent Time Lord memories in her mind , or it could be a tease that the Master is up to their old deception .

instead , Beep the Meep ’s bosscould be the Master , who ’s amassing a group of freelance exotic enemies to seek out the two heartbeats of the Doctor across all time and distance . The Master already sided with the Daleks and the Cybermen in " The Power of the physician " , so it would make sense for them to hire some other alien villains .
