‘Doctor Who’: Millie Gibson Talks Ruby’s Failed Romance & Working With Jonah Hauer-King

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Doctor Who Season 2 Episode 4 “Lucky Day.”]

It’s hard to return to normal life after adventures with the Doctor. Doctor Who has shown that time and time again, and this time, it’s Ruby’s (Millie Gibson) turn, having left the Time Lord (Ncuti Gatwa) and the TARDIS behind. But unfortunately, aliens and trouble are right around the corner.

And doubly unfortunate? Her love interest, Conrad (Jonah Hauer-King) is nothing like he seems. He comes across as a sweet guy with whom she can talk about her adventures, only for him to be using her for his Think Tank, a group trying to expose the “lies” of UNIT. These people don’t believe aliens exist, even though everyone has seen them. Conrad breaks into UNIT and still refuses to accept the truth even when one, a Shreek that has marked him for prey, stalks him. The episode ends with him locked up — but the mysterious Mrs Flood (Anita Dobson) shows up with keys — and Ruby pondering her future.
