168B. (1.10) The Doctor Dances

Go to your room!

The Doctor escapes the cliffhanger by telling the Empty Child to go to his room. Brilliant! The Doctor figures out Jack's scheme, finds the alien technology and repairs, we find out who is the Empty Child's mummy is, and for once in Doctor Who history, nobody dies and everyone lives. I truly adore this story for that reason alone. The joy and happiness on the Doctor's face when he figures out how to make everyone live. It's a beautiful moment. And Jack also gets his moment to save the day and noblely sacrifice himself. But thanks to the TARDIS, the Doctor saves Jack in the nick of time. Welcome aboard Captain Jack!
