'Doctor Who' Season 12 Finale Recap: "The Timeless Children"
When Doctor Who's penultimate episode ended last week, fans had more questions than ever. How was the Boundary connected to Gallifrey? Who or what was the Timeless Child, how were Yaz and Graham going to survive being trapped on a Cyber war carrier, and what was that weird Ireland based story? The good news is, the Master stepped through the Boundary, demanding the Doctor take his hand so he could explain a few things.
The Doctor: Have you ever been limited by who you were before?
The Doctor follows the Master into the ruined Citadel, as he reminds her, at every turn, of their shared childhoods. There's a reason for that, it turns out, as the Master locks her in paralysis and sends her into the Matrix Chamber, the one place he hasn't destroyed. The Matrix is the repository of all Timelord knowledge, and inside, the Doctor will learn that childhood was all a lie. But first, the Master wants to show her how Timelords came to be. It's time for a Gallifrey history lesson.
