Doctor Who Flux: 10 Huge Questions After Village Of The Angels

4. Will The Renegade Angel Be Back?

Continuing the biblical images that have been a noticeable feature during Chris Chibnall’s tenure, we are introduced to a fallen angel. In a reversal of the Lucifer story, this one seems to be rebelling against the dark side of the Division. Any sympathy for the Angel is lost when it emerges he has set the Doctor up to take his place. But why does he still want freedom from the Division and the rest of the Angels? What will he do now that freedom has been secured?

If the Doctor does escape from the Division, assuming it’s still in their interests to keep her memories altered, she now has a rogue angel as well as Karvanista to track down for information. Compared to the Lupari who takes the Division line and refuses to talk, the Angel might still be willing to share those secrets if the Doctor can find him.

The Doctor’s origins are secondary to the need to deal with the Flux, restore time and space, and free the prisoners of the Ravagers. It’s possible she may have to agree to rejoin the Division in order to do that. But having set up such a divergent character, it’s unlikely this will be the last we see of the renegade Angel this series.

If he’s no longer working for the Division, is he a free agent, or is he now working for the Ravagers? The Doctor could end up fighting against an alliance of enemies who knows the truth about her desertion of the Division, knowledge that could be used to their advantage.
