The Metaphysical Engine, or What Quill Did (TV story)

The Metaphysical Engine, or What Quill Did was the seventh episode of the first series of Class. It saw Miss Quill get her arn removed, as promised by Dorothea Ames in Brave-ish Heart. This episode takes place during the events of the preceding story, Detained.

Whilst the previous episode was "Quill-lite", this episode featured almost nothing of the students and instead focused on Quill. It revealed that she held more of a grudge against the Rhodians than she did towards the Shadow Kin, and that she intended to get revenge on the only remaining Rhodian.

It also revealed a more sinister side to the Governors, as they forced Quill to kill a new found friend and suggested that they were expecting Quill to have died from the surgery of removing her arn.
