This is an interesting story, an interesting mystery makes this a fun and at times a bit creepy as we don’t know who to trust. The cast is brilliant as always . This story gives Helen some good characterization, and as the next story is likely to focus on her even more I’m excited to see how this set continues to develop her, her being able to have such a healthy relationship with liv that even though they disagree they can still make up easily and talk past their differences is really nice to see. This story also really suggests that we’re gonna be having solo Helen and 8 adventures once Liv leaves and I’m excited to see how Helen fairs as in this story it’s explicitly said that she kinda relies on liv as an emotional rock , she’s glad she’s there and as much as she loves the doctor she needs liv to really ground it all (that was my interpretation at least). The plot twist in my opinion is alright, I certainly didn’t see it coming but the flipping of Myra isn’t real too the real bex was alive in the ship felt kinda quick paced.

finally, the final scene showing bexs death as liv and Helen sing the birdsong is beautiful , I think the doctor using the sound of the birds to signify that the planet is safe is really sweet too, overall fun story! Nothing amazing but certainly a fun story with a fun team
