The episode further expanded Yasmin Khan's family, exploring her grandmother Umbreen's personal history in India during it's partition in 1947.
Synopsis
With Yaz desperate to learn more about the life of her grandmother, the Thirteenth Doctor brings her friends to the Punjab in 1947 to meet her in the past.
