Investigations lead them to Sweetville, an idyllic community run by Mrs. 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 due to the process not working due to him not being human; Gillyflower tends to dispose of such "rejects", but he has been saved by her blind daughter, Ada, who has become infatuated with who she describes as "my monster." | Investigations lead them to Sweetville, an idyllic community run by Mrs. 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 is able to reverse the process on himself and he and Jenny go off in search of Clara, who has also been preserved (this confuses Jenny as she last saw Clara [[The Snowmen (TV story)|killed by the ice woman]] months earlier). 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 [[Silurians]] considered a major threat 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 much of the planet. Ada, listening in, learns of her mother's plans and confronts her while | The Doctor is able to reverse the process on himself and he and Jenny go off in search of Clara, who has also been preserved (this confuses Jenny as she last saw Clara [[The Snowmen (TV story)|killed by the ice woman]] months earlier).

Holding a gun to her daughter's head, Gillyflower retreats into the rocket silo (disguised as a chimney) to activate a secondary launch control; she launches the rocket, but learns moments later that Vastra and Jenny have removed the poison payload. She decides to shoot the Doctor, but misses. Strax, who has climbed the chimney/silo from the outside, returns fire, causing Gillyflower to fall to the bottom of the silo. | Holding a gun to her daughter's head, Gillyflower retreats into the rocket silo (disguised as a chimney) to activate a secondary launch control; she launches the rocket, but learns moments later that Vastra and Jenny have removed the poison payload.
