The Zygon Inversion
Second part was really more of the same to be honest, it's sole focus seeming to be focused on getting all the key characters together in a room with a final decision over whether to start a war or not. Now, this isn't a strong episode but it's a noteworthy one because it's still the first time in Capaldi's run where he finally gets to command the screen in the same way his predecessors got to much earlier. His long speech about the futility of war and the ignorance that causes it is his best work up until this point and he blends in the right reactions for the Doctor in terms of speaking as someone who has an unimaginable level of first hand experience in what he's talking about. The ending may be visible from a mile away but that one scene elevates this a little higher than the rest of the episode would have left it.
