The Key to Time, an object of unknowable power. All the story arcs around it so far have involved the Doctor searching for the six segments with the fate of the universe at stake. The first time the Fourth Doctor and Romana sought out the segments in season 16. The White Guardian tasked the Seventh Doctor, Ace and Benny with locating the segments when they were disguised as items along the Doctor's time track to set his history back on track. The Grace sent two sentient tracers to assemble the Key to prevent the destruction of the universe, with the Fifth Doctor and Guardians Black and White ending up with a stake in proceedings.
But could it come into the revived series? Maybe shaking up the formula by the disguised segments being present across the stories, but not always identified as segments by the Doctor until later in the arc. It'd be a way to update the Black and White Guardians, perhaps they have an agent each trying to locate the segments. The finale would be the Doctor and their companions being in the middle of a battle between order and chaos as both sides are at a stalemate. It's a nice call back to the Classic Series while putting a new spin on the storyline. It's also an opportunity to look at order and chaos in today's world, and the relationship they have with the White and Black Guardians, and an examination of the relationship between order and chaos. If Lalla Ward can guest star as Romana, perhaps manifesting through the Key somehow, all the better. Her reaction to the Thirteenth Doctor would be memorable ("Welcome to the sisterhood Doctor")
