(goes over to VASTRA, JENNY and STRAX) Well, thanks a million, you three, as ever. (scans with sonic) And Mrs Gillyflower's dipping her Pilgrims in a dilute form to protect them. ALLEY, DAY
VASTRA and STRAX stand opposite a wall bearing one of the posters for Mrs. GILLYFLOWER'S lecture. ANGIE clicks on a third picture that is of Victorian governess CLARA. ARTIE: Is he an alien? And alive. Another victim of the Crimson Horror, I believe? CLARA runs after him. DOCTOR: She would! GILLYFLOWER: Has the venom been loaded? GILLYFLOWER: Mr Sweet is always with us. JENNY is in the audience. Mr Sweet? Mrs. GILLYFLOWER unfastens the top part of her gown that partially opens to reveal a large red leech attached to her. One of the male Pilgrims advances and JENNY grabs him and flips him on his back, putting her foot on his neck. Preserve them. SWEETVILLE COURTYARD, DAY
The DOCTOR and CLARA have linked arms and are following Mrs. GILLYFLOWER as she escorts them by the houses. She walks the way JENNY and the DOCTOR had come from while the latter make their way through the door at the end of the hall. THURSDAY: I have travelled from London expressly to see Madame Vastra. That worked. The process improves with every attempt! They have the flask of poison. VASTRA: Quickly! Would it be impolite to ask why you and Mr Sweet are petrifying your workforce with diluted prehistoric leech venom?

Bodies have been found completely red, with a substance on them Vastra recognises from before the Silurians went into hibernation as the venom of an ancient leech, in a diluted version. An investigator shows Vastra optographs , one of which shows the Doctor, screaming. As Sweetville, run by Mrs. Gillyflower, proves suspicious, Jenny is sent to investigate and find the Doctor. She succeeds, finding him a victim of the venom, but still alive; he quickly reverses the process for him and Clara. Confronting Mrs. Gillyflower, they discover "Mr. Sweet" working with Mrs. Gillyflower is one of the leeches; she plans to use his venom to preserve humanity by making a rocket with it explode. However, the rocket goes off without the venom on board, thanks to Vastra and Jenny. Mrs. Gillyflower falls to her death, after being revealed to have tested Mr. Sweet's venom on her daughter, and Mr. Sweet is crushed. Once Clara is back home, she finds that the Maitland children have found photos of her from her travels, along with a picture of Victorian Clara.
