[[Father Octavian]] and a team of Clerics arrived at the crash site to track down the Angel. To explain what they were up against, Song showed the looped recording of the Angel to the Doctor, Octavian and [[Amy Pond]]. While the others left the pod, Amy remained with the recording in its constant loop. Unbeknownst to the expedition, any image of a Weeping Angel ''became'' a Weeping Angel. The image in the recording came to life and deadlocked the doors of the pod, trapping Amy within. The Angel projected itself beyond the image and into the room, until Amy was able to exploit a glitch in the recording to turn off the projection of the image. She had, however, stared into the eyes of the projection, opening her 'soul' to it. ([[ | [[Father Octavian]] and a team of Clerics arrived at the crash site to track down the Angel.

([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of Angels]]'') This produced an image of an Angel in the visual centre of Amy's mind, opening her up to manipulation by the Angels, such as hallucinations,and death as the image of the Angel within her would ultimately become a real Angel.

The Angel escaped the vault of the ''Byzantium'' and went through the Maze of the Dead. When the Clerics [[Christian (The Time of Angels)|Christian]] and [[Angelo (The Time of Angels)|Angelo]] were sent to investigate the further catacombs, the Angel killed them by breaking their necks. It took their central nervous systems and reanimated their consciousness temporarily to lure others to their deaths. It used the same procedure with the Cleric [[Bob (The Time of Angels)|Bob]] on a more long-term basis, to communicate with the Doctor, Amy, River and the remaining Clerics. | The Angel escaped the vault of the ''Byzantium'' and went through the Maze of the Dead.

The Angel continued to use Bob's remains to relay its messages to the Doctor, who began to call it "Angel Bob". It tried to anger him by having Bob tell him how his words of encouragement to the soldier had been lies.

Angel Bob informed the Doctor in the oxygen factory how the Angels' manipulation of Amy was just for fun, making him throw away his communication device in anger. | ||
As the crack expanded, the Angels ran away and Angel Bob reappeared in person after the Doctor, River and Amy were cornered in the ''Byzantium'''s control room. He attempted to coerce the Doctor into throwing himself into the crack to seal it, saving the Angels and his friends. As the last of the ship's energy was taken by the Angels, the gravity field failed. Angel Bob and the other the Weeping Angels fell into the crack, sealing it and were erased from existence.

"Angel Bob" showed no remorse at killing clerics and also claimed to enjoy doing it when it spoke to the Doctor using Cleric Bob's vocal chords and central nervous system. It tormented Amy with a copy of itself by making her think she was turning to stone. The Angel was very patient and clever; the Doctor guessed it had never been dormant but had allowed itself to be captured so it could get the needed power to revive its people. | "Angel Bob" showed no remorse at killing clerics and also claimed to enjoy doing it when it spoke to the Doctor using Cleric Bob's vocal chords and central nervous system.
