Definitely the best episode of The Flux series. It's the only episode that I have very few critiques with. The presence of The Angels really elevated this episode and it felt so refreshing to be genuinely terrified of them again after a while. I appreciate them feeling like a threat again. The scenes where they surrounded Jericho's house to the basements scenes, seeing the image of the Angel on fire and even the Angel coming out of Jericho's TV screen was effectively good too. I even enjoyed the confrontation with The Doctor and the Rogue Angel in Claire's mind. I also like that Yaz at least got to utlise some policing skills in the story, particularly when she and Dan questioned Peggy, the uncle of Peggy and his wife. Even if minimal, it's more than she got in the last story. Also I absolutely agree. Jericho is amazing and easily one of the best newer characters we've had so far. Immediately likeable and we some good background on him too, just with his confrontation of the Angels. I agree that he's so much better than Dan. I would take him over Dan any day too. Dan just is a nothing character to me. Bel is also a delight. Her presence is always great and it was nice of her to save the guy who eventually appreciated it later on in the after credit scene. I like the ongoing story of her and Vinder trying to find each other (though I feel like the pacing would work a bit better if they split Bel's segment into a separate minisode from this story but still nice to see her either way). Claire is likeable too. Another highlight was the ending scene with The Doctor turning into Angel. The visual of that moment is so stunningly effective. It's so haunting in how she takes the form of an Angel once the trap is set for her. Easily one of the best Doctor Who cliffhangers that we've had.

Love this episode, Jodie's turn to stone at the end is iconic! It can be hard to keep bringing back known villains and make it fresh but feel like they did lots of real good stuff with the Angels here. Fantastic episode. And there was a lot of love for Jericho at the time of airing as well, remember him getting the love online after the show, great character.
