Snow is a recurring motif in this series when connected to Ruby, and this Ruby-centric episode is something else.

The Doctor and Ruby arrive in Wales and the Doctor immediately steps on a Fairy Circle. He disappears and a mysterious woman follows Ruby on her desperate attempt to find an answer of what happened.

The tension of this episode is just off the charts, as it goes from a supernatural-type story to one of a political nature and ends with a circular return that reveals part of the story.

However, there are still plenty of questions for me as the saga progressed over 40 years.

I did miss the Doctor during the bulk of the episode, but Ruby is an exceptional character and Millie Gibson dominates the episode with her charm and her anxiety over what was occurring.

Yet another episode that is unlike the previous episodes, making Doctor Who a series that truly spans the stretch of what a TV show can be.
