we're all stories in the end

So there are a bunch of episode stills from next week's mid-season finale drifting around the internets, most of which are spoilery for things like characters/costumes rather than Major Plot Developments but still, spoilers.

I am going to post one particular one here because I found it comforting in this time of distress. If we could keep spoiler discussion limited to this and BBC-released promo stuff for the episode, that would be lovely!
