The [[TARDIS]] is drawn to the same hotel. [[The Doctor]], [[Amy Williams|Amy]] and [[Rory Williams|Rory]] begin to investigate. The Doctor recognises it as an alien structure and finds the imitation fascinating.

Every picture has a tagline beneath it. Lucy's is "that brutal gorillia". They ring the front desk bell and are threatened by two humans from [[Earth]], [[Rita (The God Complex)|Rita]] and [[Howie Spragg|Howie]], and [[Gibbis]] who is a cowardly, mole-like alien from [[Tivoli]]. The Doctor takes a liking to Rita, noting how clever she is and joking with Amy that he's firing her. | The [[TARDIS]] is drawn to the same hotel.

The three people mentions that there is someone else, [[Joe Buchanan|Joe]], whom they tied up because he was acting unstable. They take the Doctor to Joe's room, full of ventriloquist's dummies. Joe tells him everyone here has a room, even the Doctor. Joe bursts into crazy laughter. | ||

The Doctor pulls him out and they look for elsewhere to hide as a roaring beast nears. Rory finds a door that says "FIRE EXIT" but no one else notices it. Rita and a captive Joe enter a room containing Rita's father, a doctor who berates her on her grades. Amy, Howie, and Gibbis enter a room with two [[Weeping Angels]].[[File:Doctor_Who_6x11_The_God_Complex_163.jpg|thumb|They meet two Weeping Angels.]] Gibbis panics and hides in a closet. The Doctor arrives and tells Amy to face her fear; the angels aren't real. | ||
Joe frees himself and runs out. The creature, an alien [[Minotaur]], senses Joe's presence and kills him. Meanwhile, seeing Gibbis' reaction to the Angels, Amy realises that it wasn't her room, but his. The Angels were the only creatures to invade Tivoli to kill rather than conquer the inhabitants. Gibbis unnerves Amy by telling her that her room was still out there. | Joe frees himself and runs out. The creature, an alien [[Minotaur]], senses Joe's presence and kills him.

The Doctor is full of rage after Rita dies, knocking over objects and screaming. He realises that only after people fall back on their faiths when confronted by fear are they killed by the Minotaur. | The Doctor is full of rage after Rita dies, knocking over objects and screaming.

Joe was a gambler, who believed in luck; Rita was Muslim; Gibbis believes that his planet is going to be invaded again and Howie was a conspiracy theorist who believed the government controls everything. By breaking their faiths, it converted it into a form it can consume. Rory has remained unaffected because he has no strong faith in anything. That is why the ship has been showing him exits from the hotel that the others cannot see. Amy suddenly begins praising the Minotaur.

The Doctor defeats the Minotaur by breaking Amy's faith in himself, her deepest belief. He admits his faults to Amy, how most who come with him die or get hurt. He is not a hero, but a mad man in a box and it is time they see each other for who they are. He is a fallible being, and she is Amy Williams. | The Doctor defeats the Minotaur by breaking Amy's faith in himself, her deepest belief.
