Rory's Story Part 12: The Curse of the Black Spot

Here's part twelve of Rory's Story, a feature looking at Rory's involvement in previous Doctor Who episodes (a prequel to the upcoming weekly feature, Rory Watch) from The Eleventh Hour to A Good Man Goes to War. Rory's Story will be posted twice a day, finishing on Friday 26 August, the day before Let's Kill Hitler airs:

PART TWELVE: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK SPOT (Series 6, Episode 3)

Rory pops up out of the ship's hold along with the Doctor and Amy, and does an little wave :) Rory is restrained while the Doctor is made to walk the plank- afterwards Rory himself will walk the plank- but they're both saved by Amy who beats the pirates in a sword fight, but accidentally cuts Rory's hand in the process. The black spot appears on Rory's skin- he's been marked for death. The Siren comes out of the ocean, and enchants the pirates who have the black spot and Rory. Rory is held back by the Doctor and Amy while another pirate is vaporised by the Siren's touch. Rory continues to behave strangely, admiring the pirates' 'brilliant beards' and asking Amy to cuddle him. The effect on Rory begins to wear off as the Doctor, Rory and Amy, and the pirates head below deck and find Captain Avery's son, Toby. They then go back above deck and the Siren attacks them, resulting in Rory plunging into the ocean and nearly drowning. We next see Rory in the episode on the Siren's ship, on life support, as the Siren had teleported him, and all the pirates she'd 'killed' to her ship to take care of them. With the Siren's permission, Amy unplugs Rory from the support and revives him in the TARDIS, as the Doctor watches. 

Part 13, The Doctor's Wife will be done by Hezza this evening*
