Mrs. Flood’s Shocking Villain Reveal in Doctor Who Season 15!

Heed this notice: Potential spoilers lurk for the fourth episode of Doctor Who season 15, titled “Lucky Day.” Ever since she entered the scene in the 2023 Christmas special called “The Church on Ruby Road,” viewers have been left pondering whether Mrs. Flood (played by Anita Dobson) is a friend or foe to the Doctor. However, season 15 has provided a hint that strongly suggests she’s an adversary. As previously announced by showrunner Russell T. Davies, Mrs. Flood was expected to feature in every episode of this season, and true to his promise, her role is becoming more defined.

Despite the fact that Mrs. Flood’s true identity remains undisclosed during Doctor Who’s Disney era, her appearance in “Lucky Day” certainly hints at something significant brewing. Her role seems to oscillate between an impartial observer of the Doctor’s life and a supporter of Ncuti Gatwa’s character, but the finale of season 15, episode 4 provides a chilling portrayal of Mrs. Flood, suggesting that she may be harboring sinister intentions.

Doctor Who Season 15, Episode 4 Strongly Suggests Mrs. Flood Is A Villain

Freeing Conrad from jail doesn’t portray Mrs. Flood as an ally

In the series “Doctor Who,” I found myself taking a backseat in the episode titled “Lucky Day,” making way for the captivating performance of Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. This marked her first significant appearance since the conclusion of season 14. With the Doctor absent, we were treated to a more earthbound escapade instead, focusing on Jonah Hauer-King’s character, Conrad Clark, who stepped into the role of the main adversary. Although justice was served and he was incarcerated, the enigmatic figure of Mrs. Flood made her appearance at the end in a prison guard uniform, jingling her keys ominously, hinting at Hauer-King’s character’s potential release.

It’s hard to see Mrs. Flood’s decision to free Conrad as anything other than a villainous act, given that he appears to be trouble. If indeed, Mrs. Flood’s actions are malicious, it could mean the Doctor is up against an adversary unlike any he’s faced before. The hint of Mrs. Flood’s omnipotence, as suggested by her frequent fourth-wall breaks, implies that the Doctor may be facing a foe with powers beyond his comprehension. With Mrs. Flood foreshadowing the Doctor’s demise in “Lux,” this ominous prediction seems all the more plausible.

Why Mrs. Flood Might Be Setting Conrad Free In Doctor Who

Conrad’s surprise freedom could be an attempt to anger the Doctor further

Mrs. Flood’s mysterious talents enable her to show up seemingly anywhere in time and location. She first appeared as Ruby’s neighbor in modern-day London, but she was also spotted in 1952 Miami during “Lux” and at the end of an interstellar odyssey in “The Well,” 400,000 years into the future. It’s puzzling why unleashing a minor antagonist like Conrad would serve her purpose, but perhaps it’s merely to annoy the Doctor. After all, Conrad deceived Ruby, causing Fifteen to become enraged at the close of “Lucky Day.

If Mrs. Flood’s actions are intended to provoke the Doctor even more, then Fifteen must think outside the box to thwart Conrad and his questionable group of conspiracy theorists. While confronting a Dalek invasion is one thing, dealing with someone trying to incite a right-wing revolution poses a different kind of threat for the Doctor. Thus, it’s likely that Mrs. Flood is not genuinely curious but rather has a malicious intent in her actions.

Mrs. Flood Releasing Conrad May Lead To The Albion Party In “73 Yards”

Albion TV is confirmed to exist in the present-day scenes of “Lucky Day”

In the story of “Lucky Day,” Conrad’s podcast subtly hints at shared ideologies with a future political party, the Albion Party, which becomes prominent in the alternate 2046 UK election as depicted in “73 Yards.” As the series progresses, Albion TV, initially just a subscription service, expands into a powerful organization that Ruby dismantles during her season 14 episode, introducing Millie Gibson. This implies that Conrad’s podcast may serve as a stepping stone for Albion TV’s metamorphosis following his release from prison.

In “73 Yards,” Conrad isn’t present, but his fate has become uncertain due to the Doctor’s arrival, contrasting with his disappearance in the initial timeline. Moreover, it’s been disclosed that The Doctor knows how and when Conrad will pass away, which is revealed at the end of “Lucky Day.” At this point, we don’t know if Mrs. Flood freeing Conrad will alter or bring about his destiny, or even if it will affect the Albion Party in any way, as we wait to see how the events unfold in season 15 of Doctor Who.
