The Doctor could have defeated the Family effortlessly if he really wanted to, but as demonstrated, he was running away to spare the remorseless alien killers from his wrath, which put innocents in danger. The Doctor's decision not to face his enemy head on is what got people killed, and that is what Joan calls him out on.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Joan Redfern is supposed to come off as a nice woman who's lucky to have found love with the Doctor. However, there's a moment where she spitefully tells Martha that "a skivvy" and "one of your colour" will never be a doctor. This is while Martha is not only trying to help save the Doctor, but ''her'' as well, causing her to come off as an UngratefulBitch. Then there's the matter of her [[BlamingTheVictim Victim Blaming]] the Doctor for attempting to get away from the Family using peaceful means and ingratitude when he saves the day. Her question about whether anyone would have died if the Doctor hadn't come there on a whim also falls flat when one considers that anywhere the Doctor would've gone, the Family would've chased him and murdered innocents to get to him.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Joan Redfern. To some, she's a perfectly ordinary and kindly (barring the DeliberateValuesDissonance of her era) woman who gets caught up in the Doctor's wake (and has to deal with the resulting fallout). To others, she's a bland racist and UngratefulBitch carrying around a RomanticPlotTumor. Plus it's debatable if her holding the Doctor accountable for [[DestructiveSavior what had transpired]] was justified or not.
