The "good story" elements of this episode focus on: The Tragedy of Jack the Ripper
Jack uses a powerful "Holy Mother" phantasm to trap Atalanta and Sieg in a dream of a peaceful, fog-filled London where they are "saved."

She is unable to reconcile her duty to kill the Servant with her vow to protect children, leading to her eventual descent into madness. Joan of Arc’s Heavy Burden
Jeanne d'Arc (Ruler) is forced to perform a "salvation" that looks a lot like an execution.
