The scene isn\u2019t touched on again in the episode \u2013 but what does it all mean?<\/p>\n<p>Well, it\u2019s possible this strange vision in some way relates to one of the other mysteries mentioned above. It could be that this weird building in some way relates to the origin of the Flux, the Doctor\u2019s missing past or her past dealings with Swarm.<\/p>\n<p>In some ways, it reminds of the \u201cBrendan\u201d visions in 2020\u2019s Ascension of the Cybermen, when an odd, creepy narrative of a foundling boy who joins the Irish Guards (aka the police) and gets his memory wiped appeared a few times throughout the traditional Doctor Who adventure.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--full=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\">

these were revealed to be visions the Doctor was having, that concealed a true narrative of the Doctor\u2019s own life. Could this weird-looking house be something similar \u2013 a vision that is intended to refer to something, rather than a literal, existing building that represents a location in the series? The silhouette looked a little like the Time Lord Citadel (which also sort of floated above the area) \u2013 could it relate to her early days on Gallifrey?<\/p>\n<p>Either way, it seems likely we\u2019ll find out more in the coming weeks.
