Some Anvils Need To Be Dropped got cut.
Deleted line(s) 4 (click to see context) :
* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The Bible is a tool to help build your faith and show you how to be a kinder person. It's not to be used to attack people, but in a time of panic and ignorance and vulnerable imaginations, it was. Witchcraft in some circles was a practice meant to do harmful things to good people and strike fear, but people became so paranoid that they wanted everything pure at the expense of reason. The lesson here is that you can't let fear poison your mind, or you'll lose sight of upholding real faith and kindness. Fear is the opposite of faith. We don't want the Bible misused and placed in the hands of someone who could succumb to a HeWhoFightsMonsters mentality, whose mind is broken from anxieties and mania. People have good qualities and bad, but that doesn't make them evil. It makes them human.

That's not at all designated hero. 1.) the Doctor is always Thou Shall Not Kill. 2.) the morax cells were leaving. It was just taking longer .3.) The story does not side with her in this. It's rather neutral givin that only the aftermath is left.
