Mark has parked his car up the road so the lorry cannot pass. The Doctor, Amy, and the Rorys arrive, and the Doctor tells Mark about the trap. The Weeping Angels are converging, and there is no way Rebecca can survive because her death is a complicated space-time event. The Doctor gives Rory instructions, but he is touched by an Angel on his way back to the TARDIS. The future Rory, however, explains that he has set up what the Doctor wanted, but two Angels are in the way of the switch. The Doctor convinces Mark that he must do something and he illuminates the Angels with his headlights, allowing them to be watched, and he presses the switch. Six big halogen lights with attached television screens and cameras switch on, and the Angels fade and are now too weak to exist outside of television screens. However, the sixth Angel has escaped. They prevent it from reaching Rebecca, but she still dies in Mark's arms. The Doctor explains that the six Angel was the one dying and chasing Mark in 2011. | Mark has parked his car up the road so the lorry cannot pass.

They take Mark to Rebecca's funeral, and then back to [[1993]], where he meets a young Rebecca. He tells her a veiled life story and she advises him to move on and stop mourning his dead wife. She touches his face and he leaves, just before his younger self arrives and meets her for the same time. The Doctor notices that Mark looks younger since Rebecca touched him, making him the same age as when he met the Doctor in 2011. The Doctor takes Mark back to his flat a week after he was sent back in time, and they leave. Mark, still with a lot of money from the Harold Jones endeavour, decides that he call up Rebecca's old friends Lucy and Emma and tell them the story. | They take Mark to Rebecca's [[funeral]], and then back to [[1993]], where he meets a young Rebecca.
