Before she knows it, she is married to her ideal man [[Lee McAvey|Lee]], who has a stammer, and has two kids of her own. She is then approached by a hooded figure in a playground, who turns out to be [[Miss Evangelista]]. She warns Donna that the world is not real. Donna soon observes that all the children in the playground are copies of one another.

The Doctor realizes in the nick of time that, knowing River's fate and having years to think of a way to save her, his future self must have given  her the [[sonic screwdriver]] for a reason. He finds that, like the [[Data Ghost]]s, her consciousness has been saved in the screwdriver. River Song comes back to life in the fantasy world of the hard drive, and CAL, worried that she might be lonely bring some friend and River meets [[Miss Evangelista]] and the rest of her team again.

*The [[sonic blaster|squareness gun]] used by River Song to blast a hole in the wall of the Library is the same gun used by [[Jack Harkness]] when he first met the Doctor. It was left behind in the TARDIS when Jack Harkness was teleported out with the Doctor & Rose into the game shows on Station Five. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Empty Child]]''/''[[The Doctor Dances]]''/''[[Bad Wolf]]'') (''Per Steven Moffat, ''Doctor Who Confidential'': "River Runs Deep"'')
