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.

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]], who has climbed the chimney from the outside, returns fire, causing [[Winifred Gillyflower]] to plummet to her death at the bottom of the silo.

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]].

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]].
