 ''Stormcage Containment Facility, 5145''
-A phone call is received. A young prison guard, only on his first day, answers, and says that there is no Doctor at the facility. [[River Song]] is in the cell, and demands that she talk to the person on the end. Having received the phone she is informed by Churchill of Van Gogh's painting and it's message, until the guard takes it away. River realises he is new, and kisses him, using a hallucinogen in her lipstick to make him delirious, and she escapes.

 ''The Royal Collection, 5145''
-River Song walks among the paintings in the Royal Collection gallery and finds the one she is looking for. However, on her way out she trips an alarm, and is attended to personally by the Queen - [[Elizabeth X|Elizabeth the Tenth]]. River tells her that this is for the Doctor, and Liz recognizes the name. Song shows her the picture - it is an impression of an exploding [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]].

 ''[[The Maldovarium]], 5145''<br />
-River talks to Dorium Maldovar at a bar, who knows she is looking for time travel and offers her a [[vortex manipulator]] from the severed hand of a dead Time Agent. However he then states that the device is not cheap, so River offers in return for the Wriststrap, a Callisto Pulse for deactivating micro-explosives from up to 20ft - micro-explosives similar to those she had planted in Dorium's wine.

 ''The TARDIS''<br />
 The Doctor and [[Amy Pond|Amy]] are in the TARDIS, and the Doctor has decided to go to the oldest cliff faces in history, made of pure diamond, to decipher the writings on the face that up until now have not been translated. When the TARDIS lands, however, the writing simply says "HELLO SWEETIE" and a set of temporal coordinates are written underneath.
-The TARDIS lands in Roman Britain in the 2nd century AD, to be greeted by a guard. Amy comments on how the Romans, given that they were her favourite history topic at school, are unlike what she had been expecting languagewise. The guard takes them to "Cleopatra" - who actually turns out to be River Song in disguise. River shows the Doctor the painting, which given that he had retrieved a fragment of the TARDIS from a [[Time Field]] in the Silurian city in 2020, concerns the Doctor. River's previous warning to the Doctor, from her future self, that the [[Pandorica]] would open, also concerns him, and the Doctor decides to look for it. [[file:The_pandorica_opens-van_gogh.jpg|thumb|left|Van Gogh's Painting]] He looks at the Roman maps, since if someone had built such a device, they would want to remember where they left it.

-The trio arrive at [[Stonehenge]] to look for the Pandorica. The Doctor uses his [[sonic screwdriver]] to search, and River uses a device from the 52nd century. The Pandorica is tracked to the underground, and they find the opening by night - also, by which time, nobody had noticed the Cyber-head on the ground, which begins to reactivate.

 The Doctor finds the Pandorica, much more than just a legend, a large cube-shaped device with mechanics on the sides. There are many levels of security to this machine, and they are being de-activated one by one from the inside out. [[file:Pandorica.png|thumb|right|The Pandorica]]The Doctor speculates on what it could have been designed to contain, and Amy says how similar it is to Pandora's box, her favourite childhood book. River detects a signal coming from the area - six pillars lining the entrance are transmitting outwards, and she detects at least ten thousand ships in orbit - she cannot detect any more since signals overlap and confuse her scanner - potentially there could be a million objects above the sky, among which are a [[Dalek Flying Saucer|Dalek saucer]], a [[Cyber Ship]], a [[Sontaran flagship]], a [[Slitheen]] vessel, a [[Judoon Rocket]] and an [[Atraxi]], all presumably after whatever the Pandorica contains.

 The Romans begin falling asleep, but remain standing. Even Rory, who is talking to Amy and is not being recognized, begins to fail, but he resists. The Romans suddenly look up, and their hands fall away to reveal guns - they are in fact [[Auton]]s, under the control of the [[Nestene Consciousness]]. The Doctor is escorted to the Pandorica, where he is greeted by the [[Supreme Dalek (Victory of the Daleks)|Dalek Supreme]], [[Eternal Dalek|Eternal]] and a single [[Drone Dalek|Drone]], who have teleported in, and they state that the Doctor is responsible for the end of the universe. The [[Cyberman (Pete's World)|Cybermen]] arrive and their [[Cyber-Leader (Pete's World)|Cyber Leader]] states that all evidence correlates - the Doctor is to blame. Various other species - [[Silurian]]s, [[Sontaran]]s, [[Judoon]] and [[Sycorax]] included - arrive and the Doctor realises that they have formed an [[The Alliance|alliance]] to save the universe from him. The alliance had built a perfect trap, using Amy's memories as building blocks. They believe that the TARDIS exploding will cause the end of the universe.

-The Auton Rory is still fighting, but inadvertently shoots Amy while trying to resist the Consciousness' control. She supposedly dies in his arms. The Pandorica finally opens and inside is a holding cell, designed for a humanoid. The Daleks say that it is for the Doctor. The Doctor tries to protest, saying that it is the TARDIS that is the threat, not him, but the Daleks state that he is the only person who can fly it - since they are unaware of River's presence - and have him strapped into the holding cell. With the Doctor held firmly in place, the Cyber Leader orders the Pandorica to be closed but before it does, the Daleks say he will be prevented, he yells ''"[[Total Event Collapse|Total event collapse]]! Every sun will supernova, at every moment in history! THE WHOLE UNIVERSE will never have existed, PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!"'' River manages to open the TARDIS door, but in front of her is a wall of stone. She says that she is sorry, and the TARDIS console explodes. There are thousands of explosions across the sky, and Earth is left in the middle of a void. Silence falls.
