Just
when she thought she was out, they pull her back in… As
soon as Lady Penelope wakes up, she knows something was wrong. Why is she lying
in a four-poster bed, in an unknown yet familiar rococo room? Why is she wearing the face of one of her
previous incarnations? Who is this
mysterious gothic Governess standing at her bedside? And where is the Shadow Box?
Yes, I know, the miniseries was supposed to be over - yet I did have a lingering feeling of uncompleteness and, above all, I did see the opportunity to run a "dream / mindgames" episode à la Amy's Choice - something which I'd wanted to do for quite some time now but I just couldn't find the right formula (moment + situation + stakes, etc.).
Anyway, this short episode really brought a sense of closure to the whole miniseries, while allowing Sylvie and I to revisit some of Penelope's memories - more than 18 seasons, more than 30 travelling companions and 8 incarnations so far!
See you in a few months for our next miniseries / season / whatever!
