Osgood (Ingrid Oliver) once again gets into trouble with a gang of evil shapeshifting aliens when she returns in a two-part episode of "Doctor Who" season 9.
The United Nations Intelligence Taskforce (UNIT) scientist, who was once thought to be dead after Missy (Michelle Gomez) disintegrated her during "Doctor Who" season 8 finale titled, will allegedly need the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and his companion Clara's (Jenna Coleman) help after a group of damaging Zygons abduct her.
The press release for "Doctor Who" season 9 episode 7 titled "The Zygon Invasion" reads:
"The Zygons have been living in secret on Earth, unknown and unseen – until now. When Osgood is kidnapped by a rogue gang of the shapeshifting aliens, the Doctor, Clara and UNIT will have to scatter across the world in a bid to set her free. But will they reach her in time, and can they stop an uprising before it's too late?"
The shape-shifting Zygons have been featured several times in the iconic British sci-fi series since 1975, and the most recent one was during the show's 50<sup>th anniversary episode. They initially planned to invade the Earth after the destruction of their planet, but all efforts foiled everytime the Time Lord and his companion intervened.
The alien species eventually made a peace pact with the humans, yet a few of them still want to create discord in their host planet.
On the other hand, the second part the two-part Zygons-centric episode seems to be even deadlier, after the episode guide from series showrunner Steven Moffat revealed that the Doctor's trusted companion will be missing in action.
"The future of planet Earth is sealed in a box in Unit's back archive, and only the Doctor knows what's inside. With Unit under Zygon control, and Clara lost, the Doctor and Osgood find themselves fugitives in a London where no one can be trusted - but the wily old Time Lord knows there is one last hope for peace. Because that box in the black archive isn't any old box. It's an Osgood Box!" the RadioTimes episode guide for episode 8 titled "The Zygon Inversion" stated.
The two-part "Doctor Who" season 9 Zygons special will air on Oct. 31 and Nov. 7 on BBC America.
