Batel regenerated into the statue. Including glowy regeneration energy hands.
She’s the Doctor and the statue is a portal to another universe, on the other side of which Tecteun finds her. And then, MUCH later, she comes back to spend time with Pelia. That was her in the Tardis in The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail, trying to watch over Pike.
I do like the idea of her being some kind of traveler better than being sacrificed as a fixed point guardian.
But then that commitment to be frozen as a perpetual guardian what makes her sacrifice meaningful.
My problem is that the episode was written from Pike’s perspective rather than Batel’s so that we heard her telling Pike what she was going to to and why rather than seeing that process of acceptance and noble sacrifice from her side.
