Note: This article contains major spoilers for the (Doctor Whoseason premiere, ‘Spyfall, part 1’.************** Doctor Whoreturned for its season 17 premiere, it’s safe to say that fans from all over wished they could travel forward in time and watch the second part of ‘Spyfall’ right away. Unfortunately,wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey manipulation just isn’t a thing in real life , but still, there are plenty of clues out there already which hint at how that big twist could impact
Doctor Whomoving forward.
To recap, the last few moments of ‘Spyfall’s first half revealed that one of the Doctor’s greatest Enemies had returned, and he was hiding under their noses the whole time.[2014] Actor Sacha Dhawan appears to be playing an old friend of the Doctor’s for most of the episode, helping her and the team investigate alien attacks on earth’s security forces. However, once they all boarded a plane towards the end of the premiere, the Doctor deduced that her companion isn’t who he says he is …
BBC
In fact, Sacha is actually playing The Master in disguise, resurrected in a new form following the apparent death of Michelle Gomez’s Missy and John Simm’s Master in season 12. (The Master neverreallydies, no matter how often he or she dies.)
As if that weren’t shocking enough, the Master went on to say something that could change the Doctor’s future forever (and the show along with it too):
“Everything you think you know is a lie. “
As you might expect, The Master then tries to kill everyone on the plane because that’s just how he rolls, but the question remains – What on Earth was he talking about?
While we don’t have a definitive answer just yet, there are some vital clues that could point Whovians in the right direction.
Earlier on, it’s suggested that the brightly-lit aliens who work for the Master may hail from another dimension, which implies that the Doctor could be facing a bigger threat connected to the multiverse at large.
BBC
But who could this possibly be? After all, everyone’s favorite Time Lord has made countless enemies over the years. Saying that though, it seems likely that the mystery surrounding the Master’s words is connected to one threat in particular, one who Jodie Whittaker’s version of the Doctor first mentioned in season 11.
While this so-called ‘Timeless Child’ was not mentioned again for the rest of the season, that original premonition seems to be directly linked with the Master’s ominous warning in ‘Spyfall ‘:
“The Timeless Child… We see what’s hidden, even from yourself. The outcast, abandoned and unknown … “
BBC
However, given what we just saw in the ‘Spyfall’ premiere, it seems more likely that the Master is merely connected to the Timeless Child somehow, rather than being the actual child himself .
Either way, showrunner Chris Chibnall has already hinted that season 12 wouldrevisit this mystery
.
Speaking to
Radio Times
, he coyly teased the Timeless Child’s appearance by saying, “These are always good questions to be asking,” before admitting, “There is a new challenge that the Doctor has to face this year which is pretty profound. “
Unfortunately, we won’t know the true impact of ‘Spyfall’s big twist until the rest of season plays out in full – or wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff is invented and we jump forward in time with our very own TARDIS.
