On '''3 April''' [[1938]], in [[New York City]], [[Rory Williams]] was [[Time travel|sent back in time]] by the [[Weeping Angel]]s from [[2012]].

Seeing an older Rory die in one of Winter Quay's rooms that day, Rory and his wife, [[Amy Pond|Amy]], created a [[temporal paradox]] by jumping off Winter Quay's roof, undoing the older Rory's death and destroying the [[hotel]]. Amy, Rory, their son-in-law, the [[Eleventh Doctor]], and their daughter, [[River Song]], were returned to 2012. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Angels Take Manhattan (TV story)|The Angels Take Manhattan]]'')
