Is she a pre-Hartnell Doctor? Is she between Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee? Is she from an alternative universe, or is she something else entirely? Speculation as to the identity of the 'fugitive' doctor rages on.

Unless Chris Chibnall is getting very good at lying, it's likely that Jo Martin's incarnation IS the Doctor, and is part of thirteen's past. At this point, after weeks of guessing, it would be more of an insult to the fans if she wasn't the Doctor. It was a shock revelation introducing the first black female incarnation when Ruth broke the glass, and it needs to stay that way.

That said, we now need answers. Hopefully, there will be some sort of revelation during the finale in which we discover her identity, but while that reveal may lead to more questions, the fans need some closure on the actual identity of this mysterious character.
