Doctor Who told us way back in that there’s always a twist at the end. In more than one sense, it was right. Susan Twist – the actress who plays the mysterious woman seen across time and space this season – features heavily in ‘The Legend of Ruby Sunday’.
But there’s also a surprise Big Bad reveal, one that has been the subject of countless theories and endless speculation online. So, who are they? And what does it mean for Doctor Who as it hurtles towards its season finale in ‘Empire of Death’? Let’s find out! Throughout ‘The Legend of Ruby Sunday’, we – and the Doctor – remain focused on the mystery of Susan Triad (Susan Twist), head of S Triad Technology, as she gets ready to unleash a new on the world. The Doctor, as revealed way back in the First Doctor’s era, has a granddaughter called Susan.
Unfortunately for those hoping for a family reunion, this was a red herring. Instead, it appears Susan Triad was nothing more than an unwilling pawn for The One Who Waits. Her dreams were actually the appearances we’ve seen in previous episodes, hinting that she’s been inadvertently drawing the Doctor towards an unknown fate.
As the episode draws to a close, it’s revealed that the entity pulling the strings has wrapped itself into the fabric of the TARDIS. Then, it reveals itself: Sutekh. Who is Sutekh? The Big Bad? Sutekh.
a play on Sue Tech – as it appears the Doctor was focused on the wrong piece of wordplay with the S.TRIAD/TARDIS conundrum. .
