Doctor Who delivered the latest in a flurry of surprising returns in latest episode Wish World, with a reunion – of sorts – for the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa).
In this version of reality, the Doctor was an ordinary man named John Smith, married to Belinda (Varada Sethu) and raising their infant daughter Poppy (Shola Olaitan-Ajiboye) together – but doubts surrounding his new existence began to produce cracks in Conrad's wish world.
Helping to break the magical brainwashing was a timely message from a familiar face – Rogue, played once again by Jonathan Groff.
But their relationship culminated in a bittersweet farewell, with Rogue sacrificing his chance to stay with the Doctor in order to save others and being transported to an unknown alternate dimension.
"I haven’t got much time – they’re coming and this hell dimension is sliding into the pit... I don’t know if I’m going to survive," Rogue explains.
With that – and one final declaration of love – Rogue disappears, but his warning has huge ramifications, as the Doctor becomes obsessed with how, in the wish world, mugs can "slip" through a table... a signifier that someone is having doubts about their new life.
But have we seen the last of Rogue? Could he reappear in next week's season finale, The Reality War? Or did he perish along with, we assume, the hell dimension where he found himself marooned?
