The Doctor faces her past in a shocking finale that rewrites Whovian history.
But ultimately, theres a reason the shows title is a question.
We may spend time with the Doctor, but we may never truly learn everything about them.

Its there that she learns the truth: She is not the last of the Timelords, after all.
Instead, shes the very first the so-called Timeless Child.
Its a bold reveal that not only shocks the Doctor but is sure to shock audiences, too.
The images of Cybermen decked out in Timelord capes and regalia are rather silly, but hey, itsWho.
Far more interesting are the confrontations between the Doctor and the Master.
Ultimately, however, the Timeless Child revelation doesnt break the Doctor but renews her sense of self.
You think youve broken me?
Youll have to try harder than that, she says.
Youve given me a gift of myself.
You think that could destroy me?
You think that makes me lesser?
It makes me more.
I contain multitudes, more than I ever thought or knew.
Its a jam-packed finale and the culmination of showrunner Chris Chibnalls most ambitious storyline yet.
Wearied and humbled, the Doctor takes the stolen TARDIS chameleon circuit intact!
Shes waylaid, however, by the arrival of a Judoon squadron that arrests and imprisons her.
