Trapped by an army of [[Weeping Angel]]s and an ever-growing [[Time field|mysterious crack]], the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and his friends try to escape through the wreckage of [[Byzantium (spacecraft)|a crashed space liner]]. Meanwhile, surrounded by Angels, [[Amy Pond|Amy]] faces an even more deadly attack, as she's forced to find her way through the forest vault, eyes closed. | ||

Quickly picking himself up, [[Eleventh Doctor|the Doctor]] tells everyone to look up, as he begins pacing around and pointing the [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]] at their footing. A confused Amy asks the Doctor what he is looking at. Exasperated at Amy's inability to grasp the obvious, the Doctor reminds her that the power is still on in the crashed ship, so what else is on?

They have landed upside down on the [[Spacecraft|ship]]'s hull; even if they jumped again, they would still be in the ship's gravity field. Octavian quickly notices that the [[Weeping Angel]]s are beginning to look more like themselves; within an hour they'll be an army, the Doctor notes. The Doctor opens the door, telling everyone to get in. Amy wonders how. The Doctor tells her its just a corridor; the gravity orientates to the floor. Everyone heads inside as the Angels pop the lights outside the entrance. | ||
Right as the door shuts behind them, the Doctor notes the Angels arrived within the first few seconds after the door closed they are not [[quantum lock]]ed in the dark. Making matters worse is the way to the secondary flight deck is shutting, despite the Doctor's attempts to force it back. Worse, the lights are still flickering. As the Doctor works on the lights, four Angels break off the door and enter the corridor. In the nick of time, the Doctor prevents the Angels from draining the lighting grid's power. However, he gravely announces he will have to drain the power in the corridor to get the door open — including the lights. Amy points out that they lost the torches when they jumped; this will leave them in total darkness. | Right as the door shuts behind them, the Doctor notes the Angels arrived within the first few seconds after the door closed they are not [[quantum lock]]ed in the dark.

River [[deduce]]s his "genius" plan and has Amy grab onto the console, warning her not to let go. Angel Bob repeats his request for the Doctor to sacrifice himself, but the Doctor reminds them that they've been draining all of the power on the ship, including that of the artificial gravity; with the words "Night-night", the Doctor grabs onto the console and the ship's gravity fails. The planet's gravity field takes over in its place, sending the Angels plummeting into the crack while the Doctor watches in delight. The [[Time Field|crack]] glows brighter and closes. | River [[deduce]]s his "genius" plan and has Amy grab onto the console, warning her not to let go.

The Doctor likewise did so; Amy tells him that he didn't have to do that. ''"Neither did you"'' he states. Since the Angels fell into the crack, the one in her mind never existed now. Amy wonders why she remembers them and the Clerics when they never existed at all; the Clerics all forgot each other and walked straight into the crack. The Doctor explains that, as a [[time travel]]ler, she now sees things differently. | ||
The Doctor goes to River, who has been handcuffed. She is prepared to [[teleport]] up to the prison ship, hoping to have done enough to earn a pardon. The Doctor admits that Octavian told him of River's crime that she [[murder]]ed a man. River confirms this. When further stating that Octavian told him the victim was a good man, she replies that he was the best man she ever knew. The Doctor asks if he can trust her. River laughs, saying he can if he wants to... "but where's the fun in that?" She also adds that [[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|they'll see her next when the Pandorica opens]]; the Doctor laughs at this, thinking the [[Pandorica]] is a fairytale, River responding with "Aren't we all?" She vanishes with the Clerics. | The Doctor goes to River, who has been handcuffed. She is prepared to [[teleport]] up to the prison ship, hoping to have done enough to earn a pardon.
