Cromwell finds Brother Octavian, whom Abbot Malvern says came to them disturbed, eavesdropping on them and says that he, a poor penitent, is how the religious should be.

In Rome 2016, Helen is saved from walking into the road by a Mr Whitman, who tells her that it will soon be the end of all worlds before they are separated by a group of [[nun]]s. She finds [[Rosalia Giubilo|Rosalia]], who works at the museum and is expecting her. | |||
River, dressed as a nun and going by "Sister Cantica", defends Cromwell from the Solvers.

At the monastery, Brother Octavian sees the Doctor visit the monastery and learn from Abbot Malvern about the cog taken by Cromwell. The Doctor buys a [[horse]] and heads off in pursuit. Brother Octavian tells Abbot Malvern that the voices know the Doctor and that he must not be allowed to interfere, saying that it is [[heresy]]. Abbot Malvern goes to warn the Doctor, who ignores him and rushes away, and speaks briefly with River before she uses [[River Song's vortex manipulator|her vortex manipulator]] to disappear. Brother Octavian wonders if the Doctor should build the [[Doomsday Chronometer]] or not. | |||
Rosalia shows Helen around the museum, which she tells her is the first time that the professor has allowed somebody to see the special exhibit. | |||
The Doctor reaches Cromwell and witnesses the Solver reawaken and transmat away after telling him that the answers to his questions are not for him.

The Doctor gives him his horse in return for being dropped back off at the monastery. | |||
