'Dr. Jekyll and Mrs. Hyde' by Robert Holmes

Belor wants total control over all of Delta Time; she plans to steal Lazlo’s bracelet and use it to find the Scarabeus, which will give her the power she needs to achieve her aims. Phil falls through the vortex and arrives in Victorian London, in the underground laboratory of Lazlo, who is now the guise of the famous scientist, Doctor Jekyll. As part of a scheme to locate the Scarabeus, Jekyll drinks a potion and transforms into the brutish creature known as Mr Hyde; this thug runs a “fencing crib” – where thieves and pickpockets come to sell their ill-gotten gains – and Lazlo believes that one of these rogues has the lost Scarabeus. However, he is unaware that Belor is watching through the eyes of a skull; when Phil leaves to search for the Scarabeus, the witch materialises and imprisons him in a block of ice, and although Hyde manages to free himself, he is then scattered to the four winds by the sorceress. To Belor’s delight, Hyde leaves behind the bracelet, but her pleasure turns to anger when she finds she cannot touch the artefact. Summoning Bram, Belor instructs her lackey to carry the bracelet while she transforms into Mrs Fanny Hyde; she then invites London’s thieves to a party, where she plans to retrieve the Scarabeus and use its power for evil…
