Vincent tells the Doctor that he didn't mean to kill the creature, and the Doctor comforts it as it dies. He makes out that the creature says that it is afraid and the Doctor tells it not to be while stroking it. Vincent compares the Krafayis to frightened humans who lash out when they are frightened, much like those in the town that scream at him and the children who throw stones at him. The Doctor then says that sometimes winning is no fun at all. | Vincent tells the Doctor that he didn't mean to kill the creature, and the Doctor comforts it as it dies.

Amy, Vincent and the Doctor lie in a field and hold hands. Vincent asks the other two to see the world as he does, describing the night sky. The Doctor tells him that he has seen nothing as wonderful as what Vincent has. Vincent tells the Doctor and Amy that he will miss them when they are gone.[[File:Vincent,_Amy_and_the_Doctor.jpg|thumb|The Doctor, Vincent and Amy gazing up at the 'Starry Night' | Amy, Vincent and the Doctor lie in a field and hold hands.

The next morning, Vincent tries to give the Doctor a self portrait as a gift, but the Doctor refuses. Vincent hugs Amy who tells him to be good and kind to himself and to trim his beard before next kissing someone. Vincent also tells Amy that if she tires of the Doctor, she should return and they could have children together. Vincent then tells the Doctor that he thinks he might not do as well on his own than when he was with him. They embrace in a hug, then Amy and the Doctor leave. | The next morning, Vincent tries to give the Doctor a self portrait as a gift, but the Doctor refuses.

Vincent asks them back to the café, but the Doctor tells him that he wishes to show him something first. In Paris 2010, outside the Musée d'Orsay, the last few posters burn off the TARDIS. Amy, Vincent and the Doctor step outside and head into the museum, the Doctor explaining when and where they are. | Vincent asks them back to the café, but the Doctor tells him that he wishes to show him something first.

The three enter the van Gogh exhibition. Vincent looks around at his work in awe at the number of people looking at them. The Doctor then asks Dr Black to tell him where van Gogh stands in the importance of the history of art. Amy positions Vincent behind Dr Black so he can hear all the positive things he thinks of him; that he is the finest painter of them all, the most popular painter who managed to transform his pain into beauty, that he was not only the world's greatest artist but also one of the greatest men of all time.[[File:Vincent_Musee_d'Orsay.jpg|thumb|left|Vincent in the Musée d'Orsay | The three enter the van Gogh exhibition.

At hearing these words, Vincent begins to cry, but when the Doctor asks if it is too much, he replies that they are tears of joy. Vincent then kisses, hugs and thanks Dr Black, apologizing about his beard after. Dr Black then walks away, but pauses for a moment to ponder. He looks back and then dismisses the thought. | At hearing these words, Vincent begins to cry, but when the Doctor asks if it is too much, he replies that they are tears of joy.

[[File:Sunflower_Amy.jpg|thumb|Vincent's dedication of ''Sunflowers'' for Amy | [[File:Sunflower_Amy.jpg|thumb|Vincent's dedication of ''Sunflowers'' for Amy.]]Amy and the Doctor return to the Musée d'Orsay, Amy believing that there will be hundreds more paintings, but the Doctor is doubtful. In the gallery, Amy finds no new paintings and hears Dr Black still saying that he commited suicide at age 37. Amy thinks that they didn't make a difference to Vincent's life at all, but the Doctor explains to her that although good things can't remove the bad things, the bad things can't spoil the good things, and that they certainly added a large amount of good things to Vincent's life. The Doctor also shows Amy that they did make a couple of minor changes, such as the non-existance of the evil face in the church window. | ||
As Amy walks away, she walks towards another painting, one of sunflowers, which she sees is dedicated in her name. She tells the Doctor that if they had been married, their children would have had very red hair. The Doctor calls them the "Ultimate Ginger". Amy smiles at him and says the "Ultimate Ginge". The two chuckle together as Amy tears up. | As Amy walks away, she walks towards another painting, one of sunflowers, which she sees is dedicated in her name.
