Afterward, Sally looked at the list of seventeen DVDs, and realised their connection: they were all seventeen DVDs that she owned; the messages on the DVDs were meant for her. She called Larry and told him to meet her at Wester Drumlins. They found the Weeping Angels and were warned by the Doctor not to blink, because the Angels moved when they were not seen. On one of the DVDs, the Doctor told Sally about the Weeping Angels. Sally and Larry found and trapped the Weeping Angels and returned [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] to the Doctor and [[Martha Jones|Martha]] Jones. | Afterward, Sally looked at the list of seventeen DVDs, and realised their connection: they were all seventeen DVDs that she owned; the messages on the DVDs were meant for her.

Over the next year, Sally and Larry took over the video store Larry had been working at and converted it into a used book-and-DVD store. While Larry wanted to pursue a relationship, Sally remained distant as she compiled detailed notes of her experiences. Some time later, she met the Doctor and Martha in person and delivered her important package of information. Only then did she finally allow herself to pursue a relationship with Larry.

Sally Sparrow was a photographer who liked to study the past. She said she liked old things because they made her feel "sad" albeit in a good way. Sally was compassionate and stayed by Billy's bed until he died in order to comfort him. She was also brave and although she did panic when the Weeping Angels surrounded her and Larry, she still managed to return the TARDIS to the Doctor. After her encounter with the Angels, Sally was quite distant with Larry, but she eventually returned his romantic feelings after meeting the Doctor in person for the first time. | Sally Sparrow was a photographer who liked to study the past.

* ''Blink'' writer [[Steven Moffat]] had originally created the character of [[Sally Sparrow (What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow)|Sally Sparrow]] for his short story ''[[What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow]]'' in the ''[[Doctor Who Annual 2006]]''. This [[Ninth Doctor]] adventure depicted Sally as a young girl who communicates with the Doctor via pre-recorded messages, much as in ''Blink''. The implied setting of the first story and Sally Sparrow's age in it makes it hard to reconcile the characters as the same. In the short story, Sally grows up to become a spy. | * ''Blink'' writer [[Steven Moffat]] had originally created the character of [[Sally Sparrow (What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow)|Sally Sparrow]] for his short story ''[[What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow]]'' in the ''[[Doctor Who Annual 2006]]''.
