Each season of Doctor Who has left fans with memorable moments and iconic characters. This time around, Ncuti Gatwa’s portrayal of the Doctor, alongside his companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), adds fresh nuance to the series. In the finale, Empire of Death, the stakes couldn’t be higher as the Doctor faces a colossal threat from Sutekh.
The Final Battle Against Sutekh
Throughout their battle with Sutekh, planets fall and life across the universe is at risk. The emotional tension heightens especially when we witness Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor grappling with the weight of these immense responsibilities.
A Glimmer of Hope
Despite the seemingly grim fate, viewers experience a glimmer of hope as the Doctor finds a clue – a glitch in a TV – leading him to Ruby’s memory. This mystery ties back to Ruby and her mother, emphasizing that both life and death are continuously intertwined.
As the battle concludes and Sutekh is defeated, Ruby Sunday’s arc takes a poignant turn when she discovers her birth mother, deciding to embrace this newfound family bond over remaining in unpredictable adventures.
A Heartfelt Goodbye
The finale is characterized by intense emotions as noted in multiple occasions when companions leave. When Ruby tells the Doctor she loves him , he nods, holds back tears and solemnly retreats into the TARDIS marking another defining moment.
