'Doctor Who: Flux' Episode 3 Recap: Once, Upon Time

Like last week, Doctor Who: Flux does not deal with its current cliffhanger upon arriving back with a new episode, but at least this week it's a little less, "and then a miracle occurred." Instead, the episode begins somewhere else, with Bel (Thaddea Graham), who is currently living through "The Beginning of the End," trying to stay one step ahead of the Dalek Sector. For the record, she's not on Earth, but some medieval-esque planet, where Time no longer makes sense in the aftermath of the Flux and giant particle swarms of the Time Force is tearing people apart. She's got a mission to find someone, and she's not about to let anything stop her.

Bel: Love is the only mission, idiot.

But Doctor Who can't ignore that cliffhanger for long, and it's time for another miracle to occur. In this case, it's the Doctor shooting them all into a time storm, with a random Weeping Angel thrown into the mix for good measure. The storm ejects them into the Siege of Atropos, in the middle of a battle with the Ravagers, aka Swarm and Azure. Except that's not actually where anyone is. Dan is at the Liverpool museum with Di, but nothing makes sense. Blink and they're in the Church of St. Luke, blink again, and the particles circle. Blink once more, Di is gone, replaced by the Passenger. Dan blinks again and finds himself in the Williamson Tunnels. Their architect wanders through in 1820 with a blaster shooting at creatures under the Earth.
