“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.

Easily the creepiest episode of Who‘s run on Disney+, “The Well” plays on several classic tropes involving gun-totting soliders jumping to the wrong conclusion while The Doctor slowly works through  what is hiding behind Aliss (Ayling-Ellis) and how it ties back to his first visit to the world in “Midnight.”
