[[Vastra]] | Another case has been cracked by [[Madame Vastra]]; [[Strax]] keeps the criminal secure while a [[Scotland Yard]] officer, Inspector [[Gregson (Vastra Investigates)|Gregson]], thanks Vastra for her help, commenting how odd Strax looks. Vastra explains the [[Sontaran]]'s origins, and hers as well when he asks if the skin condition hurts, mistakenly believing her to be human. She perplexes him further by saying she fell in love with her assistant [[Jenny Flint]]. Departing in a carriage, both are saddened that the Doctor appears unwilling to leave his TARDIS. However, they then both notice something very odd: it is snowing, yet there are no clouds in the sky... | ||
