When River awakes, she exist the TARDIS and is told by the receptionist that the Doctor is waiting for her. Changing for the occasion, River asks if they have a good table, to which she is told is the best in the house. To her shock, River runs into Hydroflax's body, now peacefully controlled by the heads of Ramone and Nardole; thanks to the Doctor attaching the orb to the robot, the A.I. was deleted in a bank merger. The body was pulled from the wreckage and the two of them have been working as a waiter in the restaurant since then. River shows attraction to Ramone's new body, but is told to calm down by the Doctor, who has arrived in a new suit. | When River awakes, she exist the TARDIS and is told by the receptionist that the Doctor is waiting for her.

River compliments him, to which the Doctor tries to return the favour. However, River notes that her husband never knows when she looks good, but it was kind of him to try; at best, the Doctor has only noticed that River's hair has moved around a bit. The Doctor gives her a box, stating it's Christmas; River notes that the Doctor has never given her a gift before.

To her surprise and joy, it contains the sonic screwdriver she will use in the Library; "I saw the [[sonic trowel]], and thought it was embarrassing." The Doctor demonstrates it to River, discretely scanning her into the [[neural relay]] hidden in it, so his [[Tenth Doctor|tenth incarnation]] can upload her [[data ghost]] into the virtual world in the Library computer. River laughs with joy, as the Doctor hands her Christmas present back to her. The Doctor leads River to the balcony, which has an amazing view of the Singing Towers. | To her surprise and joy, it contains the sonic screwdriver she will use in the Library; "I saw the [[sonic trowel]], and thought it was embarrassing."

River listens in awe to the beautiful music. She then notices the Doctor is crying, something he blames on having wind in his eyes. The Doctor states that it is, the wind blowing through the crystal formations inside the towers cause the music, according to some legends. He asks why River is ignoring the Towers, to which she sadly says "[you're] ignoring me." River reveals that her diary is nearly full, and asks whether the stories that this will be their final night together are true, to which the Doctor only responds by saying, "Spoilers": after knowing River for so long he had finally caught up with her in his timeline, and can't bring himself to reveal that this would indeed be their final night together. | River listens in awe to the beautiful music.

River begs him to find a way around this event, but he insists there's no way to avoid the end of their times together and refuses to tell River the future. They both discuss the fleeting nature of things, River pointing out that "happily ever after" does not mean "forever", just "time". Fearful that not much time is left before they part, River asks how long a night on Darillium is. Smiling, the Doctor informs her that one night on Darillium lasts for twenty-four years. Overjoyed, River once more tells the Doctor, "I hate you." He again replies, "No, you don't." As the two smile at each other | River begs him to find a way around this event, but he insists there's no way to avoid the end of their times together and refuses to tell River the future.

The words "And they both lived happily ever after" are displayed on-screen. Little by little, the message dissolves into gusts of snow, becoming more truthful as it gets reduced to "And they both lived happily", then only "happily", until it has all been swept away. | The words "And they both lived happily ever after" are displayed on-screen.
