LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Doctor Who' premiered on Disney+ on May 10, 2024, and it tells the story of the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) as they travel the universe in a time-travelling TARDIS, which looks like a police booth and takes them on adventures across the universe. 

The first two episodes of 'Doctor Who' premiered on May 10, 2024, and both episodes saw the Doctor and Ruby enter different universes and fight off supernatural enemies. While doing so, the show follows an arc for the two characters as we explore the backstories of both the Doctor and Ruby Sunday. 

The viewers who have seen Episode 2 are impatiently waiting for the third episode, as the Maestro (Jinkx Monsoon) warned of a danger that is about to come in the second episode.

In 'Doctor Who' Episode 2, the Doctor and Ruby travel to 1963 to see the Beatles make music but discover that Maestro, a villain who came out through the devil's chord has taken music out of the world and the Beatles don't make music anymore. 

The Doctor and Ruby discover that the only way to counter the Maestro is to find the lost chord. The doctor uses all the pain that he has been through in his life to almost defeat the Maestro in a music battle but fails to do so by hitting the wrong note. 

When all seems lost, John Lennon (Chris Mason) and Paul McCartney (George Caple) discover the lost chord on the piano to tackle the Maestro.

The third episode of 'Doctor Who' will see the Doctor trapped after stepping on a land mine. The episode will deal with how he gets out of this predicament. 

The episode will further shed light on the backstory of Ruby, who we know was abandoned by her biological parents. It will also explore the life of the Doctor before the events of the series. In the second episode, the Doctor claims to have been through a lot in his life. We may see a glimpse of that. 

Finally, we might get to know what Maestro meant when she warned the Doctor about the one who waits to be almost here. Could it mean that a new supervillain is on the horizon or something else?
