A nice ending to the House trilogy. However, how are you bring Bret into this, an absolute stab in the back so cruel. I love how it makes Sara accidentally set in stone the Daleks Masterplan and her realisation of it and her realisation of Bret's death being permanent is absolutely devastating. A house of wishes is one of my favourite things in Doctor Who and it works really well with Robert as a character, having a daughter, wanting to escape but also not, him wanting only the best for her. That slim chance of hope Sara gets when Robert eventually becomes the house so she can escape, only to find there's no boats off the island. So even after thousands of years of being dead, Sara can't live ever :((
