I doubt it. Maybe it will become an important plot element this season, but in season 9 nobody is going to say "Oh, remember back in season 9 River gave Amy an injection and said that it was for the radiation when they were in that cave that was being flooded with radiation. Well actually, ..." ''Doctor Who'' doesn't often make small things like that important in later episodes, and when they do, it is important at the end of the same season(like the future Doctor from the same episode.)[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] 04:51, August 12, 2011 (UTC) | I doubt it.
