The Doctor sends River back to camp to appeal to the Roman commander for help. However, the commander has realised that she is not actually Cleopatra, who is dead in Egypt, and refuses. River calls the Romans "barbarians" compared to what is coming this night, firing her energy weapon, disintegrating a [[cabinet]] to demonstrate her power. Before the commander can grasp the implications, a centurion arrives to volunteer. | The Doctor sends River back to camp to appeal to the Roman commander for help.

Back at Stonehenge, the Doctor monitors the Pandorica and uses its force field technology to buy them half an hour. Amy wonders what the Pandorica has to do with the TARDIS exploding, but the Doctor tells her that they have to focus on one problem at a time. Amy then asks about the engagement ring she found in his jacket pocket. The Doctor explains that it belongs to a friend of his and that it's a memory of that friend; he says sometimes people fall out of the universe, but leave traces behind that can bring them back. Not getting what the Doctor is encouraging her to remember, Amy asks if his friend was nice. He then asks her if she remembers the night she flew away with him. He admits he was lying when he told her there wasn't a reason he was taking her. He draws her attention to her house; it's too big with too many empty rooms. Before she can respond, a laser fires. | Back at Stonehenge, the Doctor monitors the Pandorica and uses its force field technology to buy them half an hour.

They hide behind the Pandorica. The Doctor tells Amy that he usually has great plans, but not this time; he needs to draw its fire to find out what's shooting at them. "Look at me! I'm a target!" he yells as he briefly jumps into the open and hides again. The Doctor tells Amy that it's the arm of a [[Cyberman (The Pandorica Opens)|Cyberman]] firing. Due to the cracks, Amy asks what a Cyberman is, and the Doctor explains that its is a cyborg, except it's like being a screaming organ donor. He tells Amy to distract it so he can disable it. The plan succeeds, with the Doctor grabbing the arm and scrambling its circuits with the sonic screwdriver. However, he warns her to stay back as the arm could be bluffing. Amy scoffs at the idea but complies. | They hide behind the Pandorica.
