was the tenth and final episode of series 12 of Doctor Who.
The episode brought to light an account of the Doctor's origins in which, prior to becoming the First Doctor, they had lived many forgotten lives as the Timeless Child. This new thread in the ongoing tapestry brought the Doctor, once again, to the forefront of Time Lord history.
In this new account, the Timeless Child was discovered near a boundary to another dimension or reality by the Shobogan traveller Tecteun, who took her in as her own. Their regenerative abilities were attentively studied by Tecteun and eventually replicated. This was put forward as the true origin of regeneration on Gallifrey. A result of this retroactive continuity is that the Doctor, in their earliest lives, was the biological template upon which Time Lord society was founded.
It also offered a new explanation for pre-William Hartnell incarnations, such as the so-called "Morbius" Doctors, and continued to push the mystery around the Fugitive Doctor played by Jo Martin.
also brought another redesign of the Cybermen, after the Cyber-Warriors in Ascension of the Cybermen, in the form of the CyberMasters - Cyber-Warriors converted from dead Time Lords by the Spy Master, with the ability to regenerate.
The episode also brought about another shift in the current status quo, with the Doctor's companions, Ryan, Graham, and Yaz being returned to the 21st century without the Doctor, for their protection, with the group still being separated by the end of the episode.
Gallifrey is dead, the Spy Master is in control of an army of Cybermen ready to take over the universe, and Graham, Ryan, and Yaz are trapped, being hunted down with the last remnants of humanity. But for the Doctor, one question remains... Who is the Timeless Child?
Having just come through the Boundary, the Spy Master forces the Thirteenth Doctor to join him back through to Gallifrey, or else he will use his Tissue Compression Eliminator on Ryan, Ethan, and Ko Sharmus. Pulling her through, the others intend to follow, but a Cybercarrier appears overhead.
Inside, Graham, Yaz, Ravio, Yedlarmi, and Bescot attempt to sprint from Ashad and his Cybermen. Bescot holds them off as the others scramble through a vent, but she is killed in the process.
The Doctor and the Master land outside the ruins of Gallifrey's Capitol and he taunts her about his work. He plans on showing her a tour of the ruined Citadel and reminds her there is nothing she can do to help her friends.
On the Cybercarrier, the group makes it to a storage vault as Graham comes up with a mad idea. Reaching another carrier full of disabled Cyber-Warriors, he plans to hide in their armour as a disguise. Knowing how nasty the insides of a cyber-suit may be, Ravio works to disconnect the suits from their shared neural network as the others work on the bodies inside. Meanwhile, Ko Sharmus shows Ryan and Ethan his very limited weaponstore. Although Ryan has gained an aversion to weapons since travelling with the Doctor, the others say he has no choice.
Back on Gallifrey, the Master leads the Doctor to the centre of the ruined Citadel, reminding her of all the times they spent there. As he talks, a mini scanner in his pocket notifies him that the Cybermen have reached the Boundary. He extends a holographic call to Ashad and they introduce themselves. The Master coaxes Ashad to join him on Gallifrey and successfully convinces him to send some Cybermen to Ko Sharmus' planet as the carrier sets course for Gallifrey.
Meanwhile, Graham and Yaz take a moment to relax while Ravio and Yedlarmi work on the cyber-suits. He lets her know in case they do not survive that he thinks she is incredibly impressive, arguably more so than the Doctor, as she keeps fighting without Time Lord technology to help her. He says that she is doing the human race proud, leaving her deeply moved. With a tear in her eye, she jokes that he is not bad either, just as the others say their plan is ready. Meanwhile, the Cyberguards alert Ashad to the humans' meddling. Ashad plans to get them himself.

Species
•Shobogans were the original indigenous species of Gallifrey, some of whom genetically altered themselves into the Time Lords through Tecteun I's research on the Timeless Child. •The Timeless Child's species are a species from another reality or dimension that have the ability to regenerate and change their appearance. Tecteun was able to splice elements of their DNA into herself and other Shobogans, creating the Time Lords.
Biology
•Time Lords have red blood; the Spy Master mentions that a "red carpet" is such because it is "drenched in the blood of [his] people".
Organisations
•An early incarnation of the Doctor was recruited by the Division, an organisation which officially did not exist nor had operatives and acted against the non-interference policy of the Time Lords. •The Judoon possess a "cold case" unit.
•This episode used the same kind of "cold opening" used in Spyfall: Part Two, recapping the preceding episode.
•This episode had the most extensive use of archive footage in any Doctor Who media as of 2021[update].
•Tecteun and the Timeless Child's regenerations mark the first time female to male regeneration has been seen onscreen. However, the first depiction of a female regenerating into a male in any media was in AUDIO: Enemy Lines. In the case of the Timeless Child, multiple regenerations were shown, both female to male and male to female.
•The episode's cliffhanger ending calls back to the cliffhanger endings of both Doomsday and Last of the Time Lords, in which the dumbfounded Doctor repeatedly utters the word "what?" in response to the events suddenly and rapidly unfolding around them.
•This episode is the first time in the show's history, discounting full red and full blue from various previous stories, that clips from the William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton eras have been shown in colour.
•This marks the second time the theme music has been used during a TV story, playing across the Doctor's Matrix mind-blow-up sequence. The first time was in The Woman Who Fell to Earth.
•The Master and his army of CyberMasters mimic the rallying speech of Rassilon at the end of the Last Great Time War, as seen in The End of Time.
•The Master reminisces about assassinating presidents with the Doctor. (PROSE: Birth of a Renegade, TV: The Deadly Assassin)
•The Master reveals the truth of the Timeless Child, which had previously been mentioned in The Ghost Monument, Spyfall, and Can You Hear Me?.
•The Doctor and the Master see Brendan and the Garda in "Ireland", as prevously seen in Ascension of the Cybermen.
•Graham and Yaz wear Cyber-bodies to disguise themselves as Cyber-Warriors, similar to the gambit Bates and Stratton attempted on Telos in Attack of the Cybermen.
•The Doctor sees the "Fugitive" Doctor within the Matrix, whom she had encountered in Fugitive of the Judoon.
