Insulting a passing Cyclops, Rory throws mud in its eye and teases it into throwing a rock that he narrowly avoids, but one that smashes the rock plugging the cave. His ankle having healed enough, the Doctor leads the run back to the safety of the TARDIS – leaving the heroes of ancient Greece to sort out the Cyclopes. | Insulting a passing Cyclops, Rory throws mud in its eye and teases it into throwing a rock that he narrowly avoids, but one that smashes the rock plugging the cave.
