Oi, Dan, are you from Liverpool? Why have you never mentioned it?
I feel like it's a testimony to the enduring design of the Weeping Angels, just how creepy the Doctor standing in a crowd of statues is.
"My friends are never lost."
Cut to Mexico, 1904.
"It's a discovery, our discovery."
"Strictly speaking, it's theft."
"You won't be told, will you?"
"It's a defining trait."
That's it, that's the show.
Yaz has really stepped up, hasn't she?
"We have a partial date. December 5." The date of the season finale!
"Answer her question or I'll bite your toes!"
This is moving really fast, it feels like a season finale already. Or a season opening.
Yaz did not come to play.
THE BIRTH OF UNIT
WHY IS VINDER'S BOSS INVOLVED IN THE BIRTH OF UNIT
Thirteen's adaptive hologram for Yaz is possibly the cutest thing ever??
"Did you just call me bighead? I bet you did."
"I'm probably worried for you if you're hearing this. And I'm sure I miss you." "I miss you too." "I know you do. I hope you said you miss me too otherwise that bit's weird."
The Doctor is at the end of her rope with Divison's lack of answers. I don't blame her.
"Interfered! In contravention of all Time Lord directives!"
I mean, I'm not sure you're the one to be objecting to that, Doctor. (I'm not in favor of Division's methods either from what we've seen, but I'm not sure you're the one to be making that particular objection.)
"We're not in the universe, Doctor."
Quick check-in with Karvanista and the shield around Earth in 2021, and then over to Bel!
Oh, wait, no, it's all part of the same thing.
"You can't go to hyper, I'm on a mission here!"
Over to Vinder, who's found the missing in a not-good state and Spawn and Azure preying on their timeforce.
Ah, a multiverse. "Outside one universe, on the cusp of many more."
"As we near the end of the old universe" -- that doesn't sound good.
The Doctor agrees. "That universe isn't going anywhere!"
Also, the Doctor isn't a virus!
"I blame myself a little but mostly I blame you." That's nice.
"I mean, morality was always your flaw."
"Morality is a strength."
SHE'S TECTEUN?!
AND WE GO FROM THAT TO BABY UNIT?!
Corporal Lethbridge-Unit!
"He's a shouter. He's very good, he keeps everyone on his toes." ♥_♥
UNIT HAS THE TARDIS?
Of course he doesn't want to be tested by the alien-lifeform-detector. He's an alien.
"My God, General, you really are a fool, aren't you?"
Well, that was unpleasant.
"I prefer to be called Grand Serpent."
"We all need to clear up after ourselves."
Woooow.
Timeless Child recap.
"You denied me my life."
"I gave you your life. Everything you are is because of me. But I understand. You think you could've been something else, someone else."
"Maybe. I'll never know."
"They're your experiments, just as you are mine."
"We're not the same."
Among other things, the Doctor actually cares about their companions.
Vinder's in trouble.
Vinder's in BIG trouble D:
Vinder and Diane are both in Passenger together. I'm not sure that gun's gonna help you, Diane, but at least you two can team up.
"I don't get to tease people much."
"Fetch. Your. Dog."
Karvanista?
KARVANISTA. DAN IS HERE - 1904 FETCH YOUR HUMAN
Yes, I laughed.
"Prevention is in contravention of instructions. It is also impossible."
Don't ever say that to the Doctor.
"I'm very good at pulling rabbits out of hats."
"I have no rabbits."
"It's a metaphor."
"Or hats."
"Sorry, which part of the universe is this?"
"All of it."
D:
"Earth will be the ultimate apex of destruction. It is designed that way."
D: D:
This is all very alarming. I don't like that fob watch. I don't like what I know it represents.
"I see you found it."
"Chair of the UNIT Oversight Community would be perfect for me. :D"
"People don't like you, Prentis. :<"
Lol.
"But I've learned that nothing really beats the personal touch."
It's SO UNPLEASANT.
Dan and Yaz are still unrescued. :(
Dan uses his Yorkshire knowledge to identify the mystery dude who keeps showing up!
"And also some folks say he still walks the tunnels."
"We're searching for a ghost to explain the improbability of space and time. We should not be surprised if we don't find it."
"Oh ye of little faith."
This dude is very relieved to have met someone who knows the world is ending.
"A good scientist never throws away their findings."
"How many people have I been?"
What an awful question.
"What would you give to know?"
What a worse question.
I really don't like Tecteun.
KATE!!!
"We must concede defeat."
"That's not a phrase that sits well in my family. Or in UNIT itself."
"I see you. I see you, whatever you are. Hiding in plain sight for so long."
KATE I LOVE YOU.
"But I care, more than anyone. So I dug deep."
KATE YOU'RE SO GREAT.
"A non-terrestrial life form with hostile intent."
"You should know I'm wearing a psychic manifest shield."
♥♥♥
KICK HIS ASS KATE
RUN KATE
"Osgood -- I have to go dark."
Back over to Karvanista and Bel, now reassembling the Lupari shield. No, don't shoot each other!
Back over to Yaz, Dan, and Eustacius in the tunnels.
"The past few days have changed everything. Since All Hallows' Eve, everything is in flux."
"Death, sir! Endless Death!"
This is all very alarming.
"You have the list of target cities." This is bad.
And the Grand Serpent is working with the Sontarans? This is BAD.
"I'm gonna save that Universe. I'm gonna save my friends. And I'm gonna destroy Divison."
Which would be a much more kickass declaration if Swarm and Azure didn't show up right then.
Everything is awful.
Next week: The Vanquishers.
