We're very fortunate Jane Seymour gave in and agreed to come back for one more episode. The way she was supposed to be killed off in Saga, where she would die from radiation sickness and we would see her at the end of the episode quietly leave the room to go off to die and leaving Boxey with Apollo would have been far less effective than having Apollo and Serina become married and providing a more definitive bond to each other that makes Apollo's subsequent raising of Boxey have a valid context.
