Though he promises views of "sunsets, spires, and soaring [[silver]] colonnades", they step out of [[the TARDIS]] to a clinically white room possessing only an exit door with two buttons, labelled "Green Anchor" and "Red Waterfall". While Amy steps back into the TARDIS to retrieve her [[mobile phone]], the Doctor and Rory use the door — pressing the "Green Anchor" button — and enter another room, which holds a table on which rests a large [[magnifying glass]]. When Amy steps back into the corridor, she also uses the door — pressing the "Red Waterfall" button — and finds herself in a similar-looking room, though Rory and the Doctor are not present. | ||

As the Doctor and Rory are held at bay by the robot, Amy appears to fast-forward within the glass; when the Doctor finally stabilises it, she angrily informs him that it has been a week since they last spoke. From this, the Doctor is able to [[deduce]] that Amy has wound up in a faster [[time stream]] which they cannot access; their only means of communicating with her is through the glass. The Handbot informs them that the other time streams are synced for visits, so those not affected by the Chen-7 [[virus]] are able to watch the entire lives of their quarantined loved ones, as opposed to being limited to the viewing of one day on a deathbed. This is meant as a kindness for the patient and loved ones, as the virus that kills in a day instead takes several years to kill. When Rory exits the Green Anchor room and steps into the Red Waterfall room to find Amy, she is not there. | As the Doctor and Rory are held at bay by the robot, Amy appears to fast-forward within the glass; when the Doctor finally stabilises it, she angrily informs him that it has been a week since they last spoke.
