The Doctor and Amy return to the Musee d'Orsay. Amy is certain their time with Vincent changed him. She is ecstatic at the prospect of all the new paintings that will hang in the exhibit. However, she is disappointed to find [[File:Sunflower_Amy.jpg|thumb|Vincent's dedication of ''Sunflowers'' for Amy]]no new paintings and hear Dr. Black still announce to tourists that Van Gogh committed suicide at the age of thirty-seven. | The Doctor and Amy return to the Musee d'Orsay.

Amy is heartbroken that they didn't make a difference in Vincent's life at all, but the Doctor rejects this. He says that good things can't remove the pain of bad things, but bad things can't spoil the good things and they certainly added a large amount of good to Vincent's life. The Doctor shows Amy that the face of the Krafayis is no longer visible in the window of the church. Another change becomes evident as they prepare to leave. Amy sees Van Gogh's painting of sunflowers, now dedicated to her. Amy jokes that if she had children with Vincent, they would have had really red hair. The Doctor jokes back, saying it would be the "Ultimate Ginger". Amy cries as they both laugh. The Doctor comforts her. | Amy is heartbroken that they didn't make a difference in Vincent's life at all, but the Doctor rejects this.
