Calling it now: Ruby's parents are from space/the future and they die. The woman who dropped Ruby off is Ruby from the season finale.
The episode was entertaining but I'm not sure how I feel about actual magic in doctor who. Even the witches from the Shakespeare episode had technology. Genre shifting an entire show is certainly a choice.
This was definitely more of a character episode than an adventure, with the bad guys taking a backseat and then just disappearing. If unit could have shot the ship with a laser and the episode ends the same then it's a bad resolution.
If magic is a troublesome word you can technobabble the thing instead.
Like in the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds musical episode, they encounter a field of improbability.
You can "quantumify" anything that seems magical into something that sounds sciency. :)
