In Liverpool, [[2021]], a man named [[Dan Lewis]] leads a group of visitors around the [[Museum of Liverpool]], telling them about how great the city is. He is interrupted and escorted out by [[Diane (The Halloween Apocalypse)|Diane]], who tells him that he needs to stop pretending to be a [[tour guide]] because he could be permanently banned from the museum. He protests that he is making people happy, and they clarify where they will meet up for [[Halloween]] drinks.

A burst of sparks comes from the TARDIS console and the Doctor and Yaz wonder why it is not taking them to Earth. Before they can ponder this, the Doctor experiences a vision. Seeing a planetoid on the [[Burnished Rage battleground]], the Doctor watches two people, [[En Sentac]] and [[K-Toscs]], checking if a prisoner called [[Old Swarm|Swarm]] is still contained, as he has been since the dawn of the universe. Swarm awakes and taunts them before easily breaking free and killing them both, visibly renewing himself as he does so. He turns around and tells the Doctor "trick or treat". Shaken, the Doctor comes to as Yaz alerts her to a black liquid seemingly leaking from the TARDIS. She scans it with [[The Doctor's sonic screwdriver|her sonic screwdriver]] and pretends that everything is fine. She sets the dateline for [[31 October]].

In Liverpool, Dan emerges from [[Jenning Street Food Bank]] and gives a box of food and some sweets to two people dressed in Halloween costumes. Inside, his co-worker [[Wilma (The Halloween Apocalypse)|Wilma]] offers to make up a box of food for him but he declines. Something dashes behind him as they talk but he does not see it. It scans them both as they lock up.

== Story notes ==
* Elements of ''The Halloween Apocalypse'' were teased in ''[[Welcome to the TARDIS... (TV story)|Welcome to the TARDIS...]]'' and ''[[The Flux is Coming... (webcast)|The Flux is Coming...]]''.
* This was the first ''[[Doctor Who]]'' television story to be set on [[Halloween]], and the first "Halloween special", though an unofficial one.
* The start of this episode offers a brief glimpse at the dynamics of [[Yasmin Khan]]'s solo travels with the [[Thirteenth Doctor]]. In the interim period, the short story ''[[Black Powder (short story)|Black Powder]]'', the comic ''[[The Forest Bride (comic story)|The Forest Bride]]'', the framing device to ''[[Knock! Knock! Who's There? (novel)|Knock! Knock! Who's There?]]'', and the two webcasts associated with the ''[[FindTheDoctor (series)|#FindTheDoctor]]'' mystery ARG; ''[[A Message from Yaz (webcast)|A Message from Yaz]]'' and ''[[A Message from the Doctor (webcast)|A Message from the Doctor]]'', also featured this pairing.
** Relatedly, ''The Halloween Apocalypse'' is set on the same day it was broadcast: [[31 October]] [[2021]]. This makes it the fifth episode in the revived series to do so, following ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'' for [[25 December]] [[2009]], ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'' for [[26 June]] [[2010]], ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'' for [[22 April]] [[2011]], and ''[[Resolution (TV story)|Resolution]]'' for [[1 January]] [[2019]].
* This was the first ''[[Doctor Who]]'' television story to be set on [[Halloween]], and the first sort-of "Halloween special".
* The transmission of the episode was dedicated to the memory of ''Doctor Who'''s former [[Foley]] artist [[Julie Ankerson]], who passed away on [[28 July (people)|28 July]] [[2021 (people)|2021]].<ref>[https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-julie-ankerson-tribute-newsupdate/ Who is Julie Ankerson?

** Relatedly, ''The Halloween Apocalypse'' is set on the same day it was broadcast: [[31 October]] [[2021]]. This makes it one of only five episodes in the revived series to do so. The other four instances were part one of ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'' for [[25 December]] [[2009]], ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'' for [[26 June]] [[2010]], ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'' for [[22 April]] [[2011]] and ''[[Resolution (TV story)|Resolution]]'' for [[1 January]] [[2019]].
 
**Its also the first episode of [[Series 13 (Doctor Who)|Series 13]]. Halloween happens on the 31st day of October, mirroring the Series number. It additionally matches the numbered incarnation of the Doctor who is in the story.
=== Marketing ===
* Unusually for ''Doctor Who'', the title for this [[story arc]], ''[[series 13 (Doctor Who 2005)|Doctor Who: Flux]]'', is used in place of the regular [[Doctor Who logo|''Doctor Who'' logo]]. This was previously done with [[series 3 (Torchwood)|series 3]] of ''[[Torchwood (series)|Torchwood]]'', headlined ''Torchwood: Miracle Day'', though this was [[Title cards/Torchwood#Series 3|an animation]] involving the chapter name as well, like "[[Children of Earth: Day One (TV story)|Day One]]".
* Though the [[title sequence]] gives this episode as ''Chapter One: The Halloween Apocalypse'', other sources have differed on the prefix, naming this episode ''Flux: The Halloween Apocalypse'' instead.
* This episode marked the first time a new [[BBC logo]] was used on screen since 2005. The new BBC logo was incorporated into the title sequence and the [[end credits]].

* When trying to release herself from the vocally-locked [[handcuffs]], the Doctor claims that her failure to open them might be to do with the fact that she was [[Scottish]] when she set them up, and proceeds to attempt a [[Scotland|Scottish]] accent. According to the [[BBC America]] subtitles, she first attempts to copy the voice of the [[Twelfth Doctor]] ([[Peter Capaldi]]) and then the [[Seventh Doctor]] ([[Sylvester McCoy]]).

* Yaz has been taught how to operate the TARDIS. In the television series, the Doctor had previously been seen teaching [[Donna Noble]] in [[TV]]: ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem (TV story)|The Sontaran Stratagem]]'', and was assisted in piloting the TARDIS by the [[Children of Time]] in [[TV]]: ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]''. [[Nardole]] was seen piloting the TARDIS in [[TV]]: ''[[The Return of Doctor Mysterio (TV story)|The Return of Doctor Mysterio]]''. In other stories, several other companions have been taught to pilot the TARDIS by the Doctor, including [[Polly Wright]] and [[Ben Jackson]] in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Outliers (audio story)|The Outliers]]'', [[Zoe Heriot]] in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Daughter of the Gods (audio story)|Daughter of the Gods]]'', [[Adric]] and [[Nyssa]] in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Star Men (audio story)|The Star Men]]'', and [[Ace]] in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[You Are the Doctor (audio story)|You Are the Doctor]]''. [[Melanie Bush]], however, taught herself how to pilot the TARDIS by [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Quantum Possibility Engine (audio story)|The Quantum Possibility Engine]]''.
* The beginning of this episode marks the first time in a televised story that the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] has an all-female crew.
* [[Karvanista]]'s attempt at [[Hypnosis|hypnotism]] by swiping his hand across in front of Dan's face is similar to that of the "{{iw|starwars|Mind trick|Jedi mind trick}}" from the ''[[Star Wars]]'' saga.
* [[The Flux]] threat acts similar to the [[antimatter]] from the ''DC Comics'', in which the [[1980s]] event  (and, later, the Arrowverse event crossover) ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' had an antimatter wave destroy [[Multiverse|multiple universes]]. It is also reminiscent of the Nothing from ''[[The NeverEnding Story (film)|The Neverending Story]]'', which was a seemingly unstoppable force that swallowed up everything in its path. The Flux tears apart anything it comes across at a [[molecule|molecular level]], making it similar to the effects of [[Davros]]' [[Reality bomb]] from [[2008 (releases)|2008]]'s ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]''/''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]''.
* [[Dan Lewis]]' apparent dislike for [[Leeds]], and nearby [[Sheffield]], stems from the historic rivalry between [[Lancashire]] and [[Yorkshire]]. Dan is a born Liverpudlian, and the city of [[Liverpool]] was historically part of Lancashire before the reform of county boundaries in [[1974]]; both Leeds and Sheffield are typical Yorkshire cities.

== Continuity ==
* The Doctor mentions having [[Nitro-9]], an explosive invented by [[Ace]] and seen consistently throughout her tenure as a [[companion]] of the [[Seventh Doctor]] in [[TV]]: {{cs|Dragonfire (TV story)}}. The Doctor also alludes to the Seventh Doctor — and the [[Twelfth Doctor|Twelfth]] — when wondering if she "was Scottish" when she first set up the voice-activated handcuffs; the punchline that they are activated when she says "Relief", which it parses as "Release", suggests that she actually set them up as the [[Third Doctor]], who sometimes spoke with a faint, but noticeable lisp.
* The guns owned by [[En Sentac]] and [[K-Toscs]] are the same model as that owned by [[Gat]], another member of [[the Division]], as seen in [[TV]]: {{cs|Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)}}. Similar guns would be seen in the [[Fugitive Doctor]] and company's use in the flashbacks in [[TV]]: {{cs|Once ,Upon Time (TV story)}}.
* After [[Regeneration|renewing]], the [[Younger Swarm]] declares that he has been "renewed", a term previously landed upon by the [[Second Doctor]] to describe [[First Doctor's renewal|his regeneration from the First Doctor]] in [[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of the Daleks (TV story)}}. Swarm more precisely exults in being renewed "at last", echoing the newly-recorporated [[Tremas Master]]'s cry of "a new body, at last" in [[TV]]: {{cs|The Keeper of Traken (TV story)}}.
* The Doctor mentions having attended numerous [[Liverpool F.C.]] [[football]] matches. The [[Eighth Doctor]] attended one in the course of [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Something Inside (audio story)}}, and the [[Eleventh Doctor]] was shown to have an affinity with the game in [[TV]]: {{cs|The Lodger (TV story)}} and [[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of Three (TV story)}}.
* Yaz chastises the Doctor for still keeping secrets from her, previously a point of friction n [[TV]]: {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}} and [[TV]]: {{cs|Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)}}.
* The Doctor mentions [[Ryan Sinclair|Ryan]] and [[Graham O'Brien|Graham]]'s departure, which occurred at the end of [[TV]]: {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}}.
* The Doctor uses leftover [[hopper virus]] particles to help deactivate parts of [[Karvanista's ship]]. The hopper virus was a plot point in [[TV]]: {{cs|Orphan 55 (TV story)}}.
* The Doctor is interested in learning more about [[the Division]]. [[TV]]: {{cs|The Timeless Children (TV story)}} depicted her being forced by the [[Spy Master]] to confront her origins as a mind-wiped version of the [[Timeless Child]]. Swarm also comments on the mind-wipe, otherwise treating the present-day Doctor as the same person as his [[Fugitive Doctor|old foe]], much to her confusion.
* Paraphrasing the words of the [[Ninth Doctor]] in his first metting with [[Rose Tyler]] in [[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, the Thirteenth Doctor says "Nice to meet you, Dan. Run for your life." upon meeting Dan.
* The Doctor smashes part of the TARDIS in order to release [[vortex energy]], implicitly from the [[heart of the TARDIS]], as a last resort. This was previously seen in [[TV]]: {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}} and [[TV]]: {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}.
* The crossing of the TARDIS's vortex energy would later be clarified by [[Tecteun (Once, Upon Time)|Tecteun]] in [[TV]]: {{cs|Survivors of the Flux (TV story)}} to have "disrupted" the Flux just as it "came into existence", causing it to have temporal effects as well as spatial. It also damaged the TARDIS itself, as seen in [[TV]]: {{cs|War of the Sontarans (TV story)}} onwards and referenced in [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Meet the Crew (feature)}}. This and the damage done to the [[Web of Time]] by the Flux harming the [[Temple of Atropos]] would eventually force the Doctor to activate the [[TARDIS self-reset]], precipitating the events of [[TV]]: {{cs|Eve of the Daleks (TV story)}}.
