PART TEN: DAY OF THE MOON (Series 6 episode 2)

 

Rory, covered in tally marks, is shot on Hoover Dam. In body bags, he and Amy are dragged into the Doctor’s dwarf star alloy holding cell. Canton closes the door from the inside, and the Doctor releases Amy and Rory (who aren’t dead) from their body bags. The four go into the TARDIS, which was shielded in the cell. There, the Doctor implants them all with a nanorecorder that flashes red when a message has been left. While Amy and Canton investigate the little girl, the Doctor runs into trouble at NASA. Disguised as workers, River and Rory accompany President Nixon to release the Doctor, who soon after receives a call from Canton asking for help.  Amy has gone missing, and her nanorecorder left on the floor of the girl's room, switched from recording to live broadcast. Rory tells Amy they’re coming, and the Doctor says she can’t hear him. Rory firmly says she can always hear him. While River and the Doctor study the empty astronaut suit, Rory holds the nanorecorder listening to Amy. The Doctor, Rory, and River go after the Silence, and find them in the beginnings of a TARDIS, where Amy is strapped to a table. After the Silence deliver their own execution, the Doctor and River fight off the Silence while Rory attempts to free Amy. She orders him to get his ‘stupid face’ out of there, and he realizes it was him she was talking to on the nanorecorder. The four escape into the TARDIS, and Rory asks River what kind of doctor she is: Archeology. Back on the TARDIS, Rory overhears Amy and the Doctor talking about Amy’s supposed pregnancy, and Rory tells Amy he will never ever stop being stupid. The Doctor asks if they want to investigate the little girl, then decides to go on more adventures.
