S21E5 · The Awakening Part 1
Tegan keenly senses the unnatural church aura

The unnatural fog seeps through cracks in the church walls, its creeping tendrils first drawing the Doctor’s analytical notice before swallowing the pulpit’s lower carvings, directly challenging Tegan’s fragile sense of safety and time.

Before: Present as faint wisps through cracks, mostly unnoticed initially.
After: Thickens ominously, coalescing into ghostly forms that obscure elements of the church interior.

S21E6 · The Awakening Part 2
Doctor and companions confront Malus horrors

The abandoned St. Cedd’s church is referenced as the smoldering source of the Malus’s implosion, with its collapsing sanctuary serving as the backdrop for the TARDIS’s escape. Though not physically present in the scene, it functions as a narrative anchor for the resolution and a symbol of destruction turned to renewal.

Before: Gutted by psychic corruption, collapsing after the Malus’s self-destruction.
After: Still in ruins, now devoid of Malus’s influence but marked by fire and structural failure as a site of rebirth.
