Otherwise the space babies was a weak episode. I liked "The Devil's Chord" a lot. Well, mostly a lot. I loved when they broke the 4th wall at the start and played the show theme on the piano. I loved the mention of Susan. More than a mention, they actually talked a bit about her. I've been reading online comments about the show and it's been pointed there were multiple 4th wall breaks in the episode. I only caught some of them. It's also been pointed out that there has been a reoccurring character of an old woman who has shown up in every episode now. I have not noticed her at all. But I saw a link with pictures of her in each episode. Speculation is the old woman might be Susan and Susan is Ruby's mother. Every time there's a mysterious female character everyone jumps to it must be Susan. But this time, I think they might be right. Especially since the Doctor went out of his way to mention her.
