There might not be a character death, but a companion will stop travelling with the Doctor, possibly as a result of the events in this episode. If they don't die, they will still appear in series 12, but not in every episode.
* As Graham has had a relatively complete arc this series, he seems the most likely to leave the TARDIS for series 12.

[[WMG:The synopsis is misleading.]]
The released synopsis for the special mentions that all three companions will be appearing. However, the synopsis for "The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos" claims there will be a "deadly reckoning". Therefore, it's possible the synopsis could be either misleading or straight-out lying, if one of the companions bites it. It could be similar to Adric in "Time-Flight", where he appeared in a brief vision so his actor was credited to conceal his death in "Earthshock", for one example. Either that, or it's a straight-up case of TrailersAlwaysSpoil and the BBC should be ashamed of themselves for releasing the synopsis so early.

* '''Jossed'''. They're all here.
[[WMG:The Minister of War is the villain.]]
[[WMG: The Daleks are the villains]]
This special may not technically count as part of the season, so it could have old characters, fulfilling the yearly requirement for Daleks at the last possible second, and bringing them back after three years without them as a villain. Made more likely by the trailer, which teases "the DNA of the most dangerous creature in the universe", and then does not reveal the name of said creature.
[[WMG:The title is misleading...]]
Or not the full title. NOTE: This is ''not'' my theory. However, many others online are speculating that the title is really "Resolution of the Daleks". People ''really'' want Daleks to be in this one.
[[WMG: It’s not the Daleks, it’s a new villain]]
[[WMG:Based on the trailer and promo image...]]
A theory. So, the Doctor has a DNA sample from "the most dangerous creature in the Universe", which she deduces is from the ninth century. I'm guessing that, given the table full of labelled human bones from the promo pic, that this danger is unearthed thanks to an archaeology dig at an ancient site, likely early medieval given the mention of the ninth century. The people who buried this thing may have buried the bodies of people who were killed by it nearby, which is how its DNA likely wound up on a bone sample. The Doctor finds the DNA on the piece of bone she's holding, prompting an OhCrap moment. Now, that begs the question, what ''is'' this thing? It is quite likely that this thing may in fact be something we've seen before, because there are hints in the trailer that point at that outcome.
So, yeah, it may very well be a Dalek. We shall see.
[[WMG:If the creature ''is'' a Dalek, it's damaged.]]
Given how dangerous individual Daleks have been shown to be, if one is the villain of "Resolution", it will have been damaged in the course of its arrival to Earth, which is how Anglo-Saxons from the 800s managed to eventually get the upper hand on it and bury it underground. It repairs itself somewhat, but, although it's still incredibly dangerous, it's not up to full power.
