Investigations lead them to [[Sweetville]], an idyllic community run by Mrs [[Winifred Gillyflower]] and her never-seen "silent partner", [[Mr Sweet]], apparently as a home for the chosen few to help them survive "the coming apocalypse". Jenny goes undercover as a convert and infiltrates Sweetville, where she discovers the Doctor, chained up in a cell, but only partially preserved; the process didn't work because he was not [[human]]. Gillyflower tends to dispose of such "rejects", but he has been saved by her [[blind]] daughter, [[Ada Gillyflower]], who has become infatuated with him and describes him as "my monster". | Investigations lead them to [[Sweetville]], an idyllic community run by Mrs [[Winifred Gillyflower]] and her never-seen "silent partner", [[Mr Sweet]], apparently as a home for the chosen few to help them survive "the coming apocalypse".

The Doctor | Jenny helps the Doctor out and they walk to a strange rinsing cabinet of some kind. The Doctor takes his clothes and sonic screwdriver into the cabinet, activating it with his sonic. A few moments later he bursts out in a maniac joy, thanking Jenny for saving him. He tells her they need to find [[companion]] [[Clara Oswald]], who has also been preserved. This confuses Jenny, as she saw Clara [[The Snowmen (TV story)|killed by the ice woman]] months earlier. | ||
The Doctor tells Jenny that he and Clara were actually aiming to visit [[London]] in [[1893]], but they instead arrived in [[Yorkshire]]. Clara mocks the Doctor for perpetually getting them lost. The Doctor takes it in stride, telling her that it used to be a lot worse; [[Season 19|"I once spent a hell of a long time trying to get a gobby Australian to Heathrow Airport."]] They immediately got involved in the investigation of Sweetville and the red bodies piling up in the [[sewer]]s. The Doctor and Clara, posing as a married couple, joined the Sweetville community to investigate, but Mrs Gillyflower imprisoned and preserved them. The process worked on Clara, but not the Doctor due to not being human; Ada locked him away, keeping him as her "special monster". | |||
The preservation process on Clara is successfully reversed, and Madame Vastra says the substance used to create the "Crimson Horror" effect is the [[poison]] of the [[red leech]], a parasite the [[Silurian]]s considered a major threat [[Distant past|65 million years ago]]. The Doctor and Clara confront Mrs Gillyflower, who explains her plan and reveals that Mr Sweet is, in fact, a red leech who has attached himself to her chest. Their plan is to launch a [[rocket]] into the skies over [[England]] and spread the leech's poison over [[Earth|the planet]]. Ada, listening in, learns of her mother's plans and confronts her; meanwhile, Clara disables the rocket launch controls. | The preservation process on Clara is successfully reversed, and Madame Vastra says the substance used to create the "Crimson Horror" effect is the [[poison]] of the [[red leech]], a parasite the [[Silurian]]s considered a major threat [[Distant past|65 million years ago]].

Holding a [[Firearm|gun]] to her daughter's head, Gillyflower retreats into the rocket silo to activate a secondary launch control; she launches the rocket, but learns moments later that [[Vastra]] and [[Jenny Flint|Jenny]] have removed the poison payload. She fires at the Doctor but misses. [[Strax]] shoots at Mrs Gillyflower, causing her to tumble and die. | Holding a [[Firearm|gun]] to her daughter's head, Gillyflower retreats into the rocket silo to activate a secondary launch control; she launches the rocket, but learns moments later that [[Vastra]] and [[Jenny Flint|Jenny]] have removed the poison payload.

As the old woman lays dying, [[Mr Sweet]] abandons his host. [[Ada Gillyflower|Ada]] shares final words with her mother before brutally [[kill]]ing the [[parasite]] with her [[cane]], causing his innards to spurt out | As the old woman lays dying, [[Mr Sweet]] abandons his host. [[Ada Gillyflower|Ada]] shares final words with her mother before brutally [[kill]]ing the [[parasite]] with her [[cane]], causing his innards to spurt out. The Doctor grimaces, having originally intended to take the leech back to the Jurassic era so it couldn't so anymore harm. The next day, Ada decides to make the most of her life, while the [[Paternoster Gang]] decide to lock the leech venom in their vault. Vastra asks the Doctor how Clara can be back, but he cannot give an answer. | ||
Later, the Doctor returns Clara to her [[21st century]] [[30 Oak Street|home]], where she discovers that the two children she helps care for, [[Angie Maitland|Angie]] and [[Artie Maitland]], have found images of her and the Doctor in different points of [[time]] — including [[Firebird (submarine)|a nuclear submarine]] in [[1983]] and [[Caliburn House|a manor house]] in [[1974]]. They have found an image Clara does not recognise; it was taken in [[Victorian]] [[London]] — but she's only been to Victorian [[Yorkshire]]. The children threaten to inform their father that their [[nanny]] is a [[time travel]]ler unless she takes them on a trip in [[The Doctor's TARDIS|her time machine]]. | Later, the Doctor returns Clara to her [[21st century]] [[30 Oak Street|home]], where she discovers that the two children she helps care for, [[Angie Maitland|Angie]] and [[Artie Maitland]], have found images of her and the Doctor in different points of [[time]] — including [[Firebird (submarine)|a nuclear submarine]] in [[1983]] and [[Caliburn House|a manor house]] in [[1974]].
