Narrated by the new Doctor Fifteen (Ncuti Gatwa) as he tells of an abandoned baby left by the church and a woman, her mother leaving her behind and she is unknown. Named Ruby after the church on the street where she was left. Then back to 23 December 2023 where Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) is at a club and things go wrong for her and then the Doctor dances in the crowd in a skirt/kilt. As she watches him and then he mentions that things will go wrong for her, as she puts her drink on a table , or so she thinks but the glass falls to the floor. He then sees her in the taxi where a giant snowman is about to fall on her taxi but he uses his new sonic to make the traffic lights change to green. Then a woman with a pram walks by and it falls onto him. He comments on her out with a pram at midnight. She tells him it's her shopping. Even if she was out at midnight with a pram, so...??
The TARDIS is parked on Ruby Street where Ruby lives and the neighbours argue over who left it there. Ruby lives with her foster mother, Carla Sunday (Michelle Greenidge) who's fostered 33 children, as they get another baby named Lulabell coming for Christmas. A goblin tears Ruby's bag so she drops her shopping. The social worker brings the wrong nappy size so Carla has to get some as Ruby is meant to look after the baby. She gets a call from Davina McCall who tells her that they weren't able to find anything out about her parents. Also she says that bad luck started when Ruby was there and she's been affected badly, sitting on a wheelchair with bandages, as the Christmas tree falls on her and she's knocked out by the star.
Lulabelle is taken by the goblin as Ruby finds his part of his eye and face on the Polaroid under the crib. As she gives chase through the skylight (which seems to feature a lot re the earlier eps with Doctor Fourteen (David Tennant).) However she manages to hold on as the Doctor appears and grabs onto the ladder too. He gives her gloves so she can hold onto the ropes easily and her body becomes light. Inside the goblin ship as he calls them, they are tied up as the baby is about to be feasted upon. With a song sung by a goblin. He works out how to undo the ropes as there is no electricity or wires around, it means the rope must have a certain frequency too. The baby is about to be fed to Jabba the Hut lookalike and the Doctor and Ruby sing as they save her, using the ropes to get back down.
At the loft, he finds that everytime he talks about coincidences something bad happens and the ship is still there as they leave a crack in the entire loft as they alter time. ( Just like the crack in the wall from earlier series.) Ruby vanishes and is back on the ship as a baby. So he has to rescue her and leaves her at the church where she's found by the priest. He also sees her mother walk away but we don't know who she is. Though rumours abound about it being River Song. He then returns and sees the crack is back at the ceiling and Ruby returns. As he leaves the neighbour. Mrs Flood (Anita Dobson) spots him and his TARDIS and Ruby chases after him.
We get a glimpse into how things were sad without Ruby being there. As Carla only fostered when she needed the money and only fostered no more than five or six children. Ruby reminded me of Clara (Jenna Coleman) she had that much energy and enthusiasm. From the teaser/trailer seems there are some good eps to come but having to wait until May to watch them, seems so far away. Also people saying that Mrs Flood is actually River Song: River = Flood.
