In the last episode of Doctor Who, the Doctor gets to meet Serbian inventor, Nikola Tesla. The episode is set up in 1903 where Doctor Who and her friends are at the Niagara Falls. Meanwhile, Tesla is ineffectual in getting investors for his wireless power transmission.
One day, after working late mending his generator, Tesla spots a floating orb. Feeling threatened, he tries to run to save his life as a disguised figure shoots at him. Just in the nick of time, the Doctor arrives and helps Tesla escape and board a train to New York City.
Upon reaching NYC, the Doctor and Tesla find protestors demonstrating outside Tesla’s lab insinuated by his competitor Thomas Edison. In a move of defiance, the Doctor, Graham and Ryan visit Edison’s lab, suspecting him to be the man behind the attack on Tesla.
The cloaked figure revisits and fatally electrocutes everybody in the lab. However, the group manages to escape. The Doctor is seen warning Tesla and Yaz, but the two are captured by the enemy forces and transported to an invisible alien ship.

What will happen in Doctor Who Season 13?
In Season 12 we saw that despite the Doctor’s warning, Tesla and Yaz have been captivated by an alien ship. This will be a tip-off for season 13 as season 12 did not have a proper ending. Will the Doctor transport herself onto the ship? Will she be able to save Yaz and Tesla from getting slaughtered by the Queen of Skithra (who the ship belongs)?
[Spoiler]: In season 13, Yaz and Tesla are transported back to Tesla’s Wardenclyffe lab. This indicates they manage to escape unhurt. But the revenge of the Queen doesn’t end there. Infuriated, she threatens the Doctor that if Tesla is not handed over to her, she will destroy the Earth.
That’s when Tesla and the Doctor reach for the TARDIS to help kick-start Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Tower. The Tower charges and electrical bolts strike on Skithra’s ship, causing it to leave the Earth.

But Doctor and the group are faced with a new enemy force. It seems like an unfathomable and formidable force that the Doctor has no idea about. Will they be able to defeat this unknown force all by themselves or will they be aided by external help? To find all the above answers we will have to wait and watch.
Release Date:
Season 13, sure comes with a fresh lot of suspense and unknown powerful enemies. The nail-biting Doctor Who Season 13 plot has fans in complete curiosity.
Doctor Who Season 13 was scheduled for an early 2021 release but the recent reports suggest that the release date has been postponed. Fans will have to wait for more than a year before their favourite mystery-thriller knocks on their television sets again. Until then, ciao!
