    a great follow up to About a Girl
    About a Girl was a fantastic episode of the first season, this one, follows up the story and enhances the message, is great so see Heveena again, is always good to see a well executed episode about civil rights, it has some minor editing issues, some scenes feel disconnected on the final cut, and only because of that I give it 9.5, for me Sanctuary is About a Girl part 2
