Breaking The Wall | Heaven Sent | Doctor Who | BBC

As Ed prepares the shuttle for take-off, Maggie infiltrates the shuttle and blasts water up the shaft into the pilot room, which cascades over Ed's arm, infecting him with the virus. However, just as the infection consumes him, and his eyes turn white-blue, Ed bids Adelaide, Yuri and Mia a final farewell, "See you later", and triggers the shuttle's self-destruct system, which traps the Flood on Mars but leaves the rest of the crew stranded with no means of escape. The Doctor, who narrowly avoids being caught in the blast, is inspired to fight back against time, as he realises that he is the last Time Lord, and returns to the base to save the crew.

PART ONE OF TWO: When the shuttle bus the Doctor is riding on is attacked, the most frightened passenger, Sky Silvestry, seems to be the most affected. The Doctor's attempts to get her to speak make her repeat what she is told. The delay between what the Sky repeats get shorter until she begins speaking in unison with them.  If Sky isn't in control of herself, then what is?  Amazing performances from the BBC series Doctor Who.
