1 | A mysterious nun haunts the residents of the local nursing home. It soon turns out that an entire sisterhood serves under an old famous mythical beast... |

5 | * AncientAstronauts: The Gorgons of Greek myth. |
6 | * BigDamnHeroes: Maria shows up at the climax and uses Bea's mirror to block the transfer and send the snake entities back at the Gorgon. |
7 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: The nuns are generally outright evil, but when Alan walks up to one of them, she switches to what the script calls “Creator/JulieAndrews mode”. |
8 | * ContinuityNod: |
9 | ** Bea Nelson-Stanley, who was an AdventurerArchaeologist in her younger days, recalls having encountered the Sontarans among other alien races. |
10 | ** Clyde jokes that he'll never grow old because someday, he'll be able to transplant his brain into a robot. Sarah Jane responds with an exasperated sigh, likely thinking about the Cybermen. |
11 | ** Chrissie Jackson's taxi had an advert on it for Henrik's - the store Rose worked at in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E1Rose Rose]]". |
12 | * DramaticIrony: Alan reckons he would look good as a Greek statue. |
13 | * IWasQuiteALooker: Mrs Randall claims this. |
14 | * ItWasHereISwear: Chrissie returns to Sarah's house right after Alan is released from the petrification, none the wiser, protesting that Sarah has gotten carried away by making a statue of Alan, but now that he has changed back to normal, she cannot incriminate his neighbour for this, finally giving up. |
15 | * LightIsNotGood: Oh, so very much. |
16 | * LockingMacGyverInTheStoreCupboard: Luke in the cellar full of gardening tools. |
17 | * MythologyGag: |
18 | ** There's only one person a ''Series/DoctorWho'' fan will be thinking of when Luke says "I need a screwdriver." |
19 | ** The Gorgon Medusa is defeated with a mirror. [[DontExplainTheJoke It's a Greek Mythology gag.]] |
20 | * NoodleIncident: Edgar had a run-in with the Sontarans at some point. |
21 | * RetiredBadass: Judging by her moment of lucidity, Bea Nelson-Stanley must have been a force to be reckoned with in her younger years. |
22 | * ShoutOut: |
23 | ** A nun threatens to show how her boss will "[[Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic solve a problem like Maria]]." |
24 | ** There is a mention of the 1964 movie ''Film/TheGorgon'' starring Creator/ChristopherLee, Creator/BarbaraShelley, and Creator/PatrickTroughton. The mention of the latter also makes it a MythologyGag. |
25 | ** When she finds the 'statue of Alan', Chrissie refers to Sarah Jane as a '[[Film/FatalAttraction bunny boiler]]'. |
26 | ** When she realises Maria doesn't know the connection between mirrors and gorgons, she rolls her eyes and murmurs [[Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe "what do they teach them in schools these days?"]] |
27 | * StalkerShrine: Chrissie mistakes her petrified ex-husband for one of these when she sees him standing in Sarah Jane's living room. |
28 | * SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Bea has dementia, not some alien effect. She has a moment of lucidity but the Gorgon's amulet cannot magically cure her, only give her something to anchor her memories to. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments But that's not nothing.]] |
29 | * TakenForGranite: Several {{Innocent Bystander}}s, one alien collaborator and Alan; though luckily for Alan, the process hadn't finished so he got better. Also [[spoiler:the gorgon]]. |
30 | * TheXOfY |
31 | * YouWatchTooMuchX: The nun's response when Clyde guesses she has tentacles under her habit. It turns out that the nuns are ordinary humans brainwashed into helping parasitic aliens. |
