Instead of returning [[Amy Pond|Amy]] and [[Rory Williams|Rory]] to Leadworth for Christmas as he had promised, the [[Eleventh Doctor|Doctor]] accidentally lands | Instead of returning [[Amy Pond|Amy]] and [[Rory Williams|Rory]] to Leadworth for Christmas as he had promised, the [[Eleventh Doctor|Doctor]] accidentally lands [[the TARDIS]] on an Earth-like planet during winter. While Rory returns to the TARDIS to get a heavier coat, the Doctor and Amy meet the inhabitants of the planet, called [[Morphan]]s, who capture them as they are convinced the Doctor's [[psychic paper]] is a conjure which is banned by their religion. A young woman named Arabel "Bel" Flurrish believes they are connected to her missing sister Vesta, who disappeared the previous night. The Doctor denies that they know anything about Vesta and gains Bel's trust; he uses his [[sonic screwdriver]] to unlock their cage and the three sneak out from the council of Morphans to look for Vesta. Bel tells the Doctor that they are colonists on the planet, named Hereafter, from Earth. The past few years the winters have grown colder, and this year livestock has disappeared in addition to Vesta, suggesting that there is something out there which is eating them for food. The Doctor, Amy, and Bel find they have been followed by a young Morphan named Samewell Crook, who chastises Bel for releasing the Doctor and Amy as he believes her sister will be found by the council, and threatens to go back and report the incident. Because of this, the Doctor decides he will allow Samewell to come with them. They come across footprints intersecting with another set of footprints and soon find blood in the snow; however, this belongs to a sheep, as Samewell soon finds a sheep bone which he easily recognises. | ||
Rory, meanwhile, finds the Doctor and Amy gone and glimpses menacing figures in the distance which he runs away from. He runs into a group of Morphans, who are also looking for Vesta and who plan to take him captive. However, they see a "green thing" which the Morphans attempt to fight, but t defeats them with deadly energy blasts, and Rory escapes. Rory eventually takes refuge in an abanoed building, but an unknown figure hits him over the head with a mallet and knocks him out. When he regains consciousness Rory discovers that it is Vesta Flurrish, and gains her trust. Vesta tells him she was going to put flowers on her father's grave that morning when she ran into one of the "green things" and took shelter in the building. A Morphan finds them and brings them back to the council, who are initially suspicious of Rory, but they accept him. | Rory, meanwhile, finds the Doctor and Amy gone and glimpses menacing figures in the distance which he runs away from.
