Seeing how dense she's been, River tells him he'll be doing his roots, as the Doctor taunts her with the romantic poetry she used to describe her love for him; she then tells him she was just buying time until "it" happens. The robot body tells them to stop talking, but is ignored. River asks the Doctor where the safest place would be if a meteor strike were to hit, and the Doctor tells her right where they are as it doubles as an escape route. Flemming asks what she means as the speakers announce he meteors' arrival; he asks River how she could have known. Smiling her usual dark smirk, River tells him that she's the archaeologist that dug his remains up in the future. The meteors hit and the floor gives way, allowing the Doctor and River to flee into the lower floor. | Seeing how dense she's been, River tells him he'll be doing his roots, as the Doctor taunts her with the romantic poetry she used to describe her love for him; she then tells him she was just buying time until "it" happens.

River tells the Doctor that she bought a guide book that tells her when a restaurant will be destroyed; therefore, as a time traveller, she can get a free meal (akin to a dine-and-dash), as long as she doesn't go to the same place twice and create a paradox. The Doctor asks River if she likes his new body, to which she says she hasn't seen properly yet; however, she then wonders how he has a thirteenth one, as he ran out of regenerations. He tells her that a thing happened, to which she knows is the usual with him. The diamond falls down towards them, with River catching it in her dress. | River tells the Doctor that she bought a guide book that tells her when a restaurant will be destroyed; therefore, as a time traveller, she can get a free meal (akin to a dine-and-dash), as long as she doesn't go to the same place twice and create a paradox.

Hydroflax's body arrives to take the Doctor's head; the Doctor tells River to go stop the crash while he deals with this moron. The robot body cannot comprehend that even if it gets the Doctor's head, it won't survive the crash. Seeing the orb Scratch gave River, the Doctor grabs it and tells the robot that all kings need money. It demands he demonstrate. With a manic smile, the Doctor attaches it the base of the robot's neck and the A.I. begins sputtering randomly. "Welcome to the best [[Firewall|firewal]]ls in the universe. '''Nothing''' is protected like money." The robot garbles that it doesn't understand, to which the Doctor says is the same for everyone else. "He had a bad day at the bank." the Doctor tells an employee as he laughs at his own jokes and runs to join River. | Hydroflax's body arrives to take the Doctor's head; the Doctor tells River to go stop the crash while he deals with this moron.

* River's picture set of the Doctor's first twelve incarnations creates a continuity error, in that her first appearance, she questions the Tenth Doctor about adventures she had with the Eleventh. The pictures in her collection are in exact chronological order, contradicting the idea that she mistook the Tenth Doctor for a later incarnation because she did not know the correct order of his regenerations. | * River's picture set of the Doctor's first twelve incarnations creates a continuity error, in that her first appearance, she questions the Tenth Doctor about adventures she had with the Eleventh.
