The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

On Darkest Nights Pt. 8

Things didn't go according to plan, okay, they never go according to plan, but just this once, Lila hoped for a miracle, and instead, she's running down the halls going towards the hanger holding a potted daisy while she's sneezing up a storm.

Damn her insistence in helping others even though it put her in danger's way.

Damn her for not listening to Theodore when he explicitly warned her against doing something like this.

Damn her for getting up this morning, it was her day off!

Lila wasn't sure if the Plague Doctor's following her, she wasn't stopping to check, and she just let her legs carry her as they're running for the nearest hills away from certain death.

Of all things she had to do to lure a dangerous creature away, a daisy wouldn't have been something she thought of until now, but here she was, running with it, and hoping to lure the Plague Doctor towards the hanger.

After she gets it into the hanger, well, Lila hoped to run into the TARDIS, get it to do its thing, take it somewhere else, and hopefully rid it before it turns her into a blue rare sashimi.

That's assuming she's correct that it's hunting her because it thinks she's sick and not because she threw her flashlight at it in order to incite it.

Okay, maybe she said some things aloud she shouldn't, but it was for a good cause, and it kept the Plague Doctor's attention, of course not in the good way, but kept the attention all the same.

She hoped Roy and Roger were okay, because she doesn't know what became of them after she led the Plague Doctor on a goose chase. Neither sick, so they should've been okay, but then the problems start when they don't know a whole lot about the Plague Doctor.

It's smart enough to send a cart crashing into Roy, enough to use it again to get their attention, and the more Lila thinks about it, the more she realized that there's more to it than they thought.

Possibly, it's doing this intentionally, luring Lila into its own trap. She saw it catching up to her, but slow down, giving her a chance to get ahead of it. It's clearly able to get her just by running after her, but it didn't, and that doesn't make any sense unless one thinks of it cornering Lila.

Whether she's right or just talking crazy, Lila doesn't know, and all she knows that she wants to survive this night.

As she's running past the large windows showing the storm as it slowly moved away from the area, Lila thought it's just her mind going haywire with fear, but she thought she heard a woman humming outside the window. It's covered up by the wind, but faintly, she hears the humming, and when Lila's further away from the windows, behind, she sees the large Plague Doctor keeping pace with her slow down to a screeching halt near one of the windows.

While she ran with sweat running down her face, Lila turned her head briefly to see the Plague Doctor look outside the window, seemingly entranced by the humming, and turn its head back to Lila.

Of all things Lila saw, this one took the case, and there's a reason why. The Plague Doctor, it doesn't look human anymore, hard to argue that it even was at one point, but the eyes, those eyes.

They looked... human.

They LOOKED human!

She can see those green eyes looking at her and still convey the hidden emotions of the Plague Doctor as it continued chasing her.

Those hidden emotions aren't signifying that the Plague Doctor just wanted to talk it out and explain its side, by the way.

Lila felt the anger in those human green eyes and she doesn't want to begin to guess what's going on in the brain.
