During the battle, the Headless Monks decapitate Dorium and kill Strax. Strax claims to be nearly 12-years-old.
- Shortly after A Good Man Goes to War, Vastra and Jenny revive Strax, and invite him to join them in Victorian London, an offer he accepts after some hesitation.
Strax joins the gang
- While the story is claimed to be set in 1884, Strax is living at 13 Paternoster Row, setting this after A Good Man Goes to War, which took place in 1888. Vastra and Jenny are celebrating their second anniversary as a couple.
- Strax is traveling with the Doctor, going with him to visit Amy Pond and Rory Williams.

- c. 1889 - COMIC: The Crystal Throne
- Vastra has a sonic screwdriver, and Strax claims to nearly be 13-years-old, setting this almost a year after The Battle of Demons Run: Two Days Later.
Working with the Doctor
- After he retires from adventuring, the Paternoster Gang try to rouse the Doctor's spirits, but he continues to mourn the loss of his companions.
- Strax is still talking about his Moonite theory, setting this shortly after The Great Detective.
- After a case involving identical twins, a poison undetectable to science and an ancient Egyptian curse, Jenny notices it is snowing in the absences of the clouds, setting this shortly before The Snowmen. According to Jenny, Strax is still "new" to dealing with people.
- While facing down Walter Simeon and the Great Intelligence, the Doctor assists the Paternoster Gang with the aid of Clara Oswin Oswald, but she dies in the process of defeating the Intelligence. However, at Clara's funeral, the Doctor tells Vastra and Jenny that she had died before, and then left in his TARDIS. Vastra says that she and Jenny are married.
Further investigations
- While infiltrating Sweetville, Jenny finds the Doctor in the company of Clara Oswald, and exact double of the deceased Clara Oswin Oswald.
- Set in 1893. Given the space-time co-ordinates to the Doctor's tomb on Trenzalore, the Paternoster Gang are kidnapped by the Great Intelligence, facing the villain for the first time since The Snowmen. After the Intelligence enters the Doctor's time stream, Clara follows to defeat it, scattering herself throughout history, though the Doctor is able to save her.
- Set Thursday 8 March, giving the possible in-range years as 1888, 1894, and 1900. Jenny uses her Sonic gauntlet, and Vastra uses her Sonic hat-pin from Deep Breath. Vastra says that Jenny is "getting the hang of this" implying that this story is set early in their detective work together.
- Vastra and Jenny are married, and Jenny takes Strax for an "afternoon break" a concept he seems to be formerly unaware of. Strax starts to learn Cockney rhyming slang.
- 3 September was "about three weeks ago". When Strax ages forty-two years, he states that he must be "nearly sixty", meaning he is actually "nearly" eighteen, setting this six years after A Good Man Goes to War when he said he was "nearly 12". Strax is clumsily employing his Cockney slang, setting this after A Photograph to Remember.
- Strax spends some time with Henry Gordon Jago and George Litefoot in 1895.

- While guiding a crashing spaceship away from London, Vastra is alerted to a dinosaur appearing in the Thames, leading directly into Deep Breath.
- 1898 - TV: Deep Breath
- Information displayed by the adverts in the The Times can be used to place this story between January and September 1898. The Paternoster Gang meet the Twelfth Doctor for the first time, and help him and Clara recover from his thirteenth regeneration.
- Set during January. The Paternoster Gang solve a case with the Twelfth Doctor and Clara, setting this after Deep Breath.
- Strax uses his sonic lorgnette from Deep Breath.
- Vastra uses her sonic hat-pin from Deep Breath.

Currently unplaced
Awaiting placement
- These entries are placed here until evidence presents itself that provides a clue as to where they happen in relation to other entries. Some of these are part of ongoing storylines that could present evidence towards the end of the plot.
Heritage
- The works of H. G. Wells are referred to, setting this at least after 1895 when The Time Machine was first published, but probably later to accommodate his other works. Also, the Deptford power station has apparently "not been running long" and according to the real world, the power station was founded in 1891.
