Jamie and Zoe discuss the Time Lords wiping their memories and how they have regained their memories since they entered this new TARDIS.

Jamie and Zoe discuss the conspicuous absence of the Doctor before moving on to the subject of family. Jamie says that he has 5 daughters and 19 grandchildren. Zoe tells him about her son, a scientist that she subconsciously named James, after Jamie. Zoe says she married a man she met on Earth, in Australia.
