Doctor Who – Lucky Day

  • Title: Doctor Who – Lucky Day
  • wiki: link

One of the concepts Doctor Who has explored over the years, with select companions, is what happens to those people after they leave and attempt to go back to a normal life. With The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) still stuck unable to reach the present, “Lucky Day” instead gives us a Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) episode that isn’t what it initially appears. The first-half of the episode deals with Ruby attempting to move on from her time-traveling adventures and beginning a hopeful relationship with Conrad (Jonah Hauer-King) who it turns out also had a short encounter with The Doctor as a child and is not what it seems.

“Push, Jump, Fall” offers two new cases. Will (Ramón Rodríguez) and Faith (Iantha Richardson) investigate a murder and theft of a horse at a black rodeo that initially points to a problematic missing rider (Yolonda Ross), however there’s something much bigger going on involving someone using the animals of the rodeo as drug mules. Angie (Erika Christensen) and Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) look into a man’s fall that might have been accidental or suicide. Not able to deal with her own grief, and carrying around her mother’s ashes in a cardboard box, Angie instead puts her energy into helping Ormewood reaching out to Josiah (Kenneth Mosley) and Bon Bon (Jonny Beauchamp) to help her partner gets his affairs in order prior to his surgery.
