Ruby’s Mother Was Likely Warning The Doctor About Sutekh
Is Sutekh Why Ruby’s Mother Was Pointing At The Doctor?
The Fifteenth Doctor first encountered Ruby ’s biological female parent when saving baby Ruby from goblins in 2023 ’s Christmas special . He by and by remembered the vague soma in " Space Babies , " but noted how his memory had morph - the woman was now pointing at the Doctor . UNIT ’s skillful nous ponder this in " The Legend of Ruby Sunday , " but answers sidestep them . Doctor Whoseason 14 ’s 2nd - to - last episode then revealsSutekh as the One Who Waits , ambuscade inside the Doctor ’s TARDIS . In hindsight , it appears that Ruby ’s mother was pointing not at the Doctor himself , and not strictly at the TARDIS , but at Sutekh .
It appears that Ruby ’s nascence mother was , for some nameless reason , drive to abandon her child , and did so with an exceedingly heavy heart .
The obvious next interrogative is what possible reason Ruby ’s female parent could have for pointing out Sutekh . The most plausible answer is that she was desperately trying to monish the Doctor about the darkness hiding inside his ship , which , if genuine , would makeRuby ’s absentee parent a acquaintance rather than a enemy . This assumption is cosign by Ruby ’s adoptive mother , Carla Sunday , who claim duringDoctor Who ’s Time Window sequence that the ghostly silhouette is squall , desolate at leaving Ruby behind .
Putting the pieces together , it appear that Ruby ’s nascence mother was , for some unknown reason , forced to abandon her kid , and did so with an passing heavy heart . Then , after the Fifteenth Doctor appeared behind her on Christmas Eve , she require Ruby ’s succeeding traveling associate to know his TARDIS was carrying a heavy , dark evil .
Ruby’s Mother Must Be A Time-Sensitive Individual
Ruby’s Mother Is Clearly No Ordinary Woman
The second big close that can now be made about Ruby ’s female parent is that she possess potent , time - related capacity . Sutekh ’s presence inside the TARDIS was a secret not even the Doctor had figured out . The onlyDoctor Whocharacters aware of the One Who wait prior to his return were the Toymaker , Maestro , and Mrs. Flood . One theory is that Ruby ’s mother is a powerful god , alike to the Toymaker and Maestro , who transcends time and can sense Sutekh ’s halo when even a Time Lord can not .
Another potential explanation is that Ruby ’s mother journey back from the future , and sleep with about Sutekh being inside the Doctor ’s TARDIS because she already see it during her own past . In either scenario , Ruby ’s mother is a special brand of clip - traveler , butDoctor Who ’s " The Legend of Ruby Sunday " be given more toward the former account : Ruby ’s female parent is a cosmic worldly being .
The Pantheon in Doctor Who dwell of beings whose power is n’t to be underestimate , and their threat could transform the show ’s moral force .
The latest Doctor Who series introduces the Fifteenth Doctor, joined by new companion Ruby Sunday.
When UNIT consider her through the Time Window , Ruby ’s mother seems to obscure her side by moving around , manipulate the image despite not being physically present . Such a effort echoes how the Doctor ’s memory of the adult female changed between " The Church of Ruby Road " and " Space Babies . " Additionally , Maestro claim in " The Devil ’s Chord " that they felt a power like to Sutekh resonating within Ruby Sunday . If Ruby has a hidden connection to the mightiest god inDoctor Who ’s Pantheon , that connexion would necessarily also hold to her biological female parent .
Ruby’s Mother Could Be The Key To Sutekh’s Defeat In Doctor Who Season 14
The Fifteenth Doctor Needs All The Allies He Can Get
Ncuti Gatwa ’s Fifteenth Doctor is in a sorry place when " The Legend of Ruby Sunday " rolls its final course credit . Between Sutekh invading UNIT and Susan Twist offer her " giving of end , " the Doctor is without a plan , without hope , and without his TARDIS . The Time Lord muddle his fashion past the Toymaker double , got prosperous against Maestro , and sort - of - beat the Mara , but Sutekh sits atopDoctor Who ’s Pantheon as its most powerful god . The Doctor may have conceive he defeated Sutekh back when he looked like Tom Baker , but was evidently very wrong , and the villain ’s issue personate a challenge like no other .
The Doctor potentially picture out what Ruby ’s enigmatic parent was really pointing at as soon as he get a line Sutekh was shroud in the TARDIS .
Fifteen urgently needs help , and might find incisively that from Ruby Sunday ’s female parent . If pointing at the TARDIS suggests the woman is mistrustful of Sutekh , her tear confirm how much she cares for Ruby , and her manipulation of time suggest she ’s a physique of great power , thenRuby ’s mom has three big intellect to help the Dr. fight Sutekh . Curiously , the Doctor may have already work out this out when " The Legend of Ruby Sunday " ends .
MD Who ’s retcon of a Peter Davison geological era foe makes for a more interesting story than the original 1980s version of an iconic giant .
Much to Ruby ’s confusedness , the Doctor demand his fellow traveller return to the Time Window soon before Sutekh emerges from the TARDIS , and the episode end with Ruby hollo at UNIT ’s contraption for answer . The Doctor potentially figures out what Ruby ’s enigmatic parent was really charge at as before long as he acquire Sutekh is shroud in the TARDIS , identify her as a possible friend who was trying to warn him . send Ruby to the Time Window to solicit service from her missing female parent is perhaps the Doctor ’s dire final movebefore darkness come down inDoctor Whoseason 14 ’s finale .
