In 'Dot and Bubble,' the Doctor takes a backseat, allowing Lindy Pepper-Bean (Callie Cooke), a vibrant vlogger, to shine. Lindy's world revolves around Dot, a hovering robot, and Bubble, a virtual sphere. However, she remains oblivious to the dangers around her, even as monsters lurk.

Despite warnings from the Doctor, Lindy's dependency on technology keeps her blind to the peril. Only when faced with the monsters does she realize the gravity of the situation. Alongside Ruby, Lindy discovers that the creatures target residents alphabetically, with Lindy next on the list.

As chaos unfolds, Lindy's selfish act leads to tragic consequences. The Doctor, disillusioned by her disregard for others, abandons Lindy and her friends. In a tense moment, Lindy's words leave lingering questions about acceptance and prejudice.

The episode ends with the Doctor's departure, leaving Lindy to confront the repercussions of her actions alone.
