I'm a sucker for Vastra and Jenny at the best of times, so the story of how they met (and how this version mostly missed out on VIctorian London) was definately a welcome read. Although their ending up in Akios hands is certainly worrying. I wonder just what he's told them....

As a side note, the mental image of a teenage Vastra in a school uniform gave me a brief 'Lost In Cleveland' moment.
