The Doctor has lost, his ageless enemy reigns supreme, and a shadow is falling over creation. Nothing can stop the devastation... except, perhaps, one woman.
I hate to say it...but it sounds like it's time for the Doctor Ruby (not the exact same conceit but something similar). I really, really, really hope I'm wrong on that count.
Unless it's...
On iPlayer, Sian Clifford (Fleabag) is listed as "Kind Woman." Clearly a case of hiding an identity, presumably both Ruby's mother and the figure seen in the above image. Perhaps she's the "one woman."
Edit: Come to think of it, if Sian Clifford is actually Ruby's mother, then that dashes my "Mrs. Flood" is Ruby's mother theory! Which then begs the question, who the hell is Mrs. Flood?! The Rani, no doubt. No, wait! Susan!

But probably not. Despite whatever role that person plays in the episode, Ruby is more likely the hero that saves the day, just like Rose, Martha, and Donna before her.
Edit: Actually, now I wonder if Ruby is the cloaked figure here, doing her best "end of the world wandering" Martha Jones impression.
