After the arrival of the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Amy Pond]], Amy witnessed the actions of several Blanks and was turned into one herself. Unlike the other Blanks, Amy's original personality was not restored as it was not needed for her mission to learn of the Doctor's plans to stop the Talerians and thus when she was not acting under her programing, she was mindless. Using optical stimulation from the [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]], the Doctor was able to give Amy simple commands even while she was mindless as they retrieved her back-up. Following the Doctor's orders to keep her back-up close and safe, Amy drank it, allowing her brain to extract the imprint of her mind from the water, erasing her Blank programing and restoring the original Amy. | After the arrival of the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Amy Pond]], Amy witnessed the actions of several Blanks and was turned into one herself.

With the knowledge that contact with water from their back-ups would restore the Blanks to normal, the Doctor had Major [[Andrea Carlisle]] lock all of the doors of Base Diana open and rig the fire suppression system so that it could not be turned off outside of the control room she controlled. The Doctor then filled the fire suppression system's tank with water from Base Diana's reservoir and the back-ups of the Base Diana personnel before triggering the system. Contact with the water immediately erased the Blanks programing and the Talerian minds in those who had already had one uploaded. The Base Diana personnel also blanked out again for awhile, but once they regained consciousness, they had their original minds back with their Blank programing gone and no knowledge of their actions as Blanks.
