History Recap / DoctorWhoS39E6FluxChapterSixTheVanquishers

* LastOfHisKind: Karvanista becomes this by the episode's end, as it's revealed that the Sontarans butchered the rest of the Lupari in order to take their shield ships for themselves.

* WhamEpisode: Though most of the episode's consequences are implied rather than explicitly focused on, the story- and the five that preceded it- have a ''huge'' impact on the universe. While the Flux is stopped, [[AvertedTrope there is no]] ResetButton to undo the events, meaning that a big chunk of the universe is implicitly ''gone'' for the tim. Most, if not all, of the forces of the Daleks, Cybermen, and Sontarans have been wiped out by the final Flux event. ''Time itself'' is officially revealed to be sentient and potentially malicious, leading to it being restrained by the Temple of Atropos. And the Doctor has access to a watch containing the memories of all her lost incarnations, although for now she has stored it away in the TARDIS so she won't be tempted to open it. And then there's Time's warning that once again, the Doctor's death is near, and unlike the Tenth Doctor's portent of doom, it seems that 13's future death will be permanent.

* BittersweetEnding: Dan is rejected by Di as a result of her trauma but joins the TARDIS crew properly, and the Doctor apologises to Yaz for closing her out, but cries when nobody is looking.

** The Sontarans intend to use the Lupari's Flux-proof shield to defend their fleet while allowing the Flux to consume the Dalek and Cybermem fleets. Karvanista and the Doctor's team take control of the shield and reassemble it behind the Sontatans, instead, consuming all three.

* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: The Sontaran commander offers the hand of friendship to all their enemies... except those stupid inferior Rutans, who will be crushed under the heel of Sontaran boots.

** The Grand Serpent tries subjecting the Doctor to it, but she just turns it around on him by spending her time trying to work out who and what his deal is.

** Happens to Swarm and Azure on two levels: the ultimate weapon against the Flux turns out to be their own Passenger, which provides an endless wave of matter to cancel the tide of antimatter; and their attempt to offer the Doctor as a sacrifice to Time only leads to ''them'' being consumed instead (although Azure at least seems happy about this).

* ItsPersonal: Vinder and Kate, who both have a personal grudge with the Grand Serpent, are the ones to come out of the [=TARDIS=] and lead him to his final fate.

* ScrewYourself: The Doctor proves once more she HasAType (blonde women) and spends a chunk of time flirting with herself.

** Whatever has been causing the [=TARDIS=]'s mysterious corruptions still has yet to be explained, and by the end of the episode the [=TARDIS=] still doesn't look to be fully healed.

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Time, who takes the form of Swarm initially when talking to them, then takes the form of the Doctor, with the coat she had in the memory set on Atropos.

* ColdBloodedTorture: The Grand Serpent tries subjecting the Doctor to it, but she just turns it around on him by spending her time trying to work out who and what his deal is.

** Karvanista and the Doctor's team move the Lupari's Flux-proof shield behind the Sontaran ships, causing them to be destroyed by their own trap along with the Daleks and the Cybermen.

* LuredIntoATrap: The Sontarans plan to lure the Daleks and Cybermen to a point where the Flux is about to destroy then move the shield, destroying them and stopping the Flux.

** During their final confrontation, Time gives the Doctor the ominous warning that no one can escape her forever, and that the Doctor's end- no regeneration, no escape- is coming sooner than she thinks; it specifically warns them to watch for the forces massing against her, and "their master" ([[TheMaster capital M]] not explicitly stated, but the Doctor's reaction seems to indicate that her mind went there too).

The universe is facing its DarkestHour. The Doctor is captured by Swarm and Azure, who are preparing to initiate the final Flux event and destroy the universe; the various other protagonists are either captured or under siege; and the Earth is once again under Sontaran occupation.
