Rachel volunteers for the trick, but when she looks in the mirror, everyone can see a younger version of Rachel in the reflection who grows into her twenties and is very beautiful. To everyone's horror, the real Rachel begins ageing decades older than her current age. The Doctor pulls Rachel away from the mirror, then he and the man look in the mirror.
