The [[Eleventh 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, such as [[Arcadia (planet)|Arcadia]] and the [[Trojan Gardens]]. She jokes that she's suspicious, to which he defensively tells Amy that he is always nice to her, and that there was [[Cold Blood (TV story)|nothing to be suspicious about]]. Amy tells the Doctor that she was just joking, but wonders why he's not. | The [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Amy Pond|Amy]] visit the [[Musée d'Orsay]] in [[Paris]].

Before she can question the Doctor further, a child says, "It's the doctor," prompting them both to look behind them to see a child looking at the painting of [[Gachet|Vincent's doctor]]. The child reads his guide pamphlet to a friend, explaining Vincent painted it shortly after his mental health started getting worse. | Before she can question the Doctor further, a child says, "It's the doctor," prompting them both to look behind them to see a child looking at the painting of [[Gachet|Vincent's doctor]].

In the street, they find [[Young girl (Vincent and the Doctor)|a young girl]] has been brutally killed. [[Mother (Vincent and the Doctor)|Her mother]] pushes her way forward. Upon spotting Vincent (who everyone considers a madman), she takes out her grief on him, blaming him for her daughter's death. The crowd throws [[stone]]s at him, and the Doctor, Amy and van Gogh leave hastily. The Doctor learns this is the second recent [[murder]]. Vincent asks the Doctor and Amy where they are staying, which the Doctor takes as an invitation to stay at Vincent's studio. | In the street, they find [[Young girl (Vincent and the Doctor)|a young girl]] has been brutally killed.

At the studio, Vincent apologises for the mess his collective works make and leads them inside. When the Doctor keeps asking about the church, Vincent catches this and begins wondering what he's up to. However, he puts a pot for [[coffee]] on one of his works, prompting Amy and the Doctor to tell him to treat them better as they are precious. Explaining about how he paints, Vincent tells them that he believes that there is so much more than what the normal eye can see. Having travelled throughout all of [[time]] and [[space]], the Doctor says that he doesn't need to be told. | At the studio, Vincent apologises for the mess his collective works make and leads them inside.

After a bit too much coffee, Vincent begins rambling on about how he hears the colours and the world telling him to capture the mysteries on canvas. The Doctor calmly tells Vincent that he has had enough coffee and offers to make some calming [[tea]]. However, he then notices that Amy is not in the room any more, as he hears her screaming from outside. | After a bit too much coffee, Vincent begins rambling on about how he hears the colours and the world telling him to capture the mysteries on canvas.

Amy, Vincent, and the Doctor lie in the grass outside the church; Vincent says they are lucky to still be alive to see the wonders of the world. Vincent encourages them to see the world as he does (we see the night sky turn into Vincent's ''Starry Night'' painting), saying the blackness of the sky is actually multiple shades of blue. Using his telepathy to briefly look into Vincent's mind, the Doctor sees the sky as the painter does. Smiling, the Doctor admits that he has seen many amazing things in his life, but nothing quite as wonderful as what Vincent sees. Vincent tells his friends he will miss them when they're gone. | Amy, Vincent, and the Doctor lie in the grass outside the church; Vincent says they are lucky to still be alive to see the wonders of the world.

[[3 June|The next morning]], Vincent attempts to push his self-portrait on the Doctor as a parting gift, but the Doctor, knowing what it will be worth one day, refuses it. The painter takes this in stride; he's used to having his works of art refused. Vincent admits that, despite his experiences over the last couple of days, he won't do well on his own. As the Doctor and Amy depart, he gets an idea, asking Amy if she's had the same one; she doesn't as she's thinking about grabbing breakfast at the café. The Doctor calls to Vincent (who looks out his window, half-dressed), telling him to tidy up as there is something he wants to show him. | [[3 June|The next morning]], Vincent attempts to push his self-portrait on the Doctor as a parting gift, but the Doctor, knowing what it will be worth one day, refuses it.

They take him to the TARDIS, which is now covered in circus posters; the Doctor slices through them with the [[TARDIS key]] and opens the doors of his time machine. The Doctor reminds Vincent about how they talked about the wonders of the [[universe]] before showing him inside. Upon seeing the inside and examining the exterior, Vincent becomes amused that ''he's'' the one that's "[[crazy]]", while they have managed to remained sane. The Doctor explains some of the buttons on the console, secretly steering the TARDIS. Vincent is amazed by all the Doctor has told him and asks that they come back to the café, and explain more about the wonders of the universe. However, the Doctor tells him that there is something they wish to show him first. | They take him to the TARDIS, which is now covered in circus posters; the Doctor slices through them with the [[TARDIS key]] and opens the doors of his time machine.
