Guide:Plot summary for New Who: Difference between revisions

Years later, the Doctor finds himself lecturing at [[St Luke's University]], and notices a young woman who audits a class of his without being enrolled, [[Bill Potts]], played by [[Pearl Mackie]]. He offers to tutor her, and she finds herself drawn into his world slowly but surely. The Doctor, for his part, has been guarding a vault with [[Nardole]], played by [[Matt Lucas]], and uses trips with Bill as an excuse to travel discretely off world, shirking his duty. In the end it's revealed that the vault contains Missy, and the Doctor has sworn to guard her for one hundred years, slowly trying to reform her, little by little. She finally accompanies Bill, Nardole, and the Doctor on a test run - an adventure on a colony ship, and everything goes wrong. Another [[Saxon Master|incarnation]] of the Master is present, as are Cybermen, and while Bill ultimately manages to make it off the ship the group is on, Missy and her earlier self wound each other lethally, and the Doctor forces himself to the brink of regeneration saving the colonists. He insists, however, back inside his TARDIS, that he won't change again. He's done becoming someone else, and just wants it to end. His TARDIS takes him back to meet his [[First Doctor|first incarnation]] who's wrestling with much the same dilemma. Eventually, they both decide to take one step more. And the Doctor regenerates into the [[Thirteenth Doctor]], played by [[Jodie Whittaker]].

Starting this new era of Doctor Who, this new Doctor falls out of her TARDIS, as it has been destroyed by regenerative energy, and lands on a train in Sheffield, where she meets [[Yasmin Khan]], a police officer, played by [[Mandip Gill]], [[Ryan Sinclair]], played by [[Tosin Cole]], [[Grace O'Brien]], Ryan's grandmother, played by [[Sharon D Clarke]], and [[Graham O'Brien]], Grace's husband and Ryan's step-granddad. Together, they form an alliance, and fight [[Tzim-Sha]] of the [[Stenza]], a mighty warrior race whose sole purpose is to hunt human beings. Together, they manage to save the planet, but tragically Grace dies in the process, leaving Graham a widow. The Doctor then attempts to return to the TARDIS, but accidentally takes her new companions with her, and they begin to travel alongside her. After many exciting adventures, they once more face Tzim-Sha, and end up by locking him in his temple, ending the character arcs of Graham and Ryan that began with the death of Grace.
