We are re-introduced to Jack in his newly stolen spaceship in desperate need of the Doctor to tell her some important news. He attempts to scoop the Doctor out of her location but constantly fails by only scooping the companions onto his ship, which is being chased around the galaxy. We never get to see Jack interact with the Thirteenth Doctor in the episode but come Christmas, that's all going to change.

"Putting on Jack’s coat and setting foot back on the set of Doctor Who was just like going back home. It’s always thrilling to play Captain Jack. He’s a character very close to my heart who changed my life, and to know the fans love him as much as I do makes his return even sweeter. I hope everyone enjoys Jack’s Heroic adventure with Thirteen"
