You know sometimes I think about how in the plot description of the magnus protocol it’s stated that the magnus institute burned down in 1999. This did not happen in the original series so it obviously takes place in a alternative universe, and seeing as Gertrude attempted to burn down the archive originally, maybe in this universe she succeeded by executing the plan way earlier.
So now there’s an intresting thing about the episode that first hints to multiple dimensions in TMA. In mag 114 a cleaner named Anya Villette accidentally falls through the crack in reality at hil top road. She traveled from a different universe to the one we listen to. Notable is that in Anya’s original universe the tree at hil top road was still standing, implying Agnes was still alive there in 2009. (Agnes died in 2006)
That PLUS the fact Jonny has said he would’ve loved to elaborate on Agnes’s character, I have come to the conclusion that Agnes and Gertrude are still alive in magnus protocol.
THIS IS HOW AGNES MONTAGUE CAN STILL WIN (and date Gertrude.)
