Big win from Rosie Namajunasie. I think her last-second upgrades-from-Hell worked in her favour here. Also, has anyone read From Hell? And as a consolation question, who all as seen From Hell? The graphic novel is pretty dense from what I remember, so I look forward to reading it again soon. #FromHell
