[[Eleventh Doctor|The Doctor]] and [[Amy Pond|Amy]] visit the [[Musée d'Orsay]] in [[Paris]]. It is showing the works of [[Vincent Van Gogh]], who is Amy's favourite painter. Amy asks the Doctor why he is being so nice to her; he has been taking Amy to several places she wanted to visit and other peaceful locations. He defensively tells Amy that he is always nice to her, hiding his feelings of [[Cold Blood|guilt]]. Amy tells the Doctor she's joking, but wonders why he's not. A child says, "It's the doctor", prompting them both to look behind them to see a child looking at the painting of Vincent's doctor. They then inspect a painting in Amy's guide book. However, as Amy is enjoying it, the Doctor has found a rather disturbing face in the window. He gravely informs Amy the face is not a nice one. He briefly interrupts the curator, [[Dr Black|Dr. Black]], who says that the church painting was probably completed between the first and third of June in 1890. Complimenting Dr. Black's bow[[tie]], the Doctor grabs Amy's hand and drags her away. When Amy tells him she wants to see the rest of the paintings, the Doctor tells her that it's a matter of life and death - they need to speak to Vincent Van Gogh.

The [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] materialises in [[Auvers-sur-Oise]]. The Doctor and Amy begin their search for Van Gogh. Finding a cafe featured in one of his paintings, the Doctor questions two waitresses cleaning the tables outside. They say Van Gogh is a mad drunk who never pays his bills, but when the Doctor says he's a good painter, they laugh heartedly. The cafe owner rushes out, followed by a red-headed man trying to bargain with him. The owner exasperatedly informs him the painting is no good for a trade; the man must either pay or leave. The Doctor offers to pay for the man's drink or to buy the painting. Vincent Van Gogh turns around and angrily tells the Doctor off, saying that he pays for his own drinks, earning more laughter, and that if the Doctor doesn't want to be laughed out of town, he better not buy his painting. However, Vincent concedes that Amy is cute. Before the painter can resume haggling with the cafe owner, Amy offers to buy a bottle of wine which she will share with whomever she chooses, to which Vincent agrees.
