I’m being reminded just how much of a blur this whole season was. I’m not saying it’s bad per se, but the tangled web that my brain is had a very difficult time trying to keep up with everything. A pleasant surprise to see Doctor Ruth again. I had a feeling that you’d get very invested in Bel and Vinder’s storyline. It’s this episode where I realized that Dan’s shot up there pretty high on the list of favorite companions. As you observed, the Doctor is becoming more vulnerable and therefore more defensive. Understandable though it is, I think she went too far in this episode when she yells at Yaz, “It's not OK! Not for me! You don't understand anything!” I’d have slapped her and reminded her, “And whose fault is that?! You’re not telling anybody anything.” I mean I get she doesn’t want to share everything, ok fine, but still, she could at least admit to Yaz about how she’s feeling without divulging precise details about what she’s trying to deal with. Can’t wait for next week’s reaction.

This episode is a bit of a mind fuck because it's so overwhelming. So much is going on. I found when I rewatched it it made a lot more sense. The first 20 minutes throws a lot at you and then it starts to explain itself. I think overall this season packs a lot into only 6 episodes and I believe some of that is because Covid made them reduce the number so I get it. As for "that woman" who was being sassy to the Doctor. She's played by Barbara Flynn who has been in lots of things on UK tv but probably isn't well known elsewhere. I love her and have done since I first saw her as a milk lady in a sitcom called Open All Hours. Even though her job is just to say enigmatic things which may or may not make sense later, she manages to put so much into it. In fact I would say that in general there's a lot going on in Flux and it's easy to get overwhelmed but the things that stand out are characters and those come from some great performances. She's one. So is Dan. And Bel and Vinder. And maybe one or two you've not met yet ;)
