The Eleventh Doctor dropped off Amy Pond and Rory Williams for a while and they took up residence in a house. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut, Amy and Rory hadn't seen the Doctor in two months when the episode began)

Amy was abducted to Demons Run in the future by Madame Kovarian and the Headless Monks so that her child could be used as a weapon against the Doctor after it was born. She was replaced by a ganger avatar of herself so that no one suspected anything. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War)

22 : An 1103 year-old version of the Doctor recruited via numbered envelopes, a 909 year-old version of himself (1), River Song (2), Amy Pond and Rory Williams (3), and Canton Delaware (4). All except the 909 year-old Doctor arrived in Utah and met up with the Doctor. An astronaut appeared and killed the Doctor at 4:30pm MDT. After cremating him, River, Amy and Rory went to a diner where they encountered his 909 year-old self. They left in The Doctor's TARDIS to the Oval Office in 1969. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut)

Chloe Webber's father died. (DW: Fear Her)
The Doctor and Amy Pond landed in Manchester where they encountered the Alifabe. (DWAM: Sky Scraper)
