Rory's Story Part 5: Cold Blood

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

PART FIVE: COLD BLOOD (Series 5, Episode 9)

So, the big Rory moment of the episode was, of course, Rory's death. But since the death happened at the end of the episode, I'll come back to it later :) So, the episode (Rory-wise) picked up from where it had left Rory, just after Alaya the captured Silurian declares that Rory, Tony or Ambrose will kill her and ignite a war.  After Rory examines Tony's mutation, unbeknownst to Rory, Ambrose kills Alaya (their bargaining chip to get   

Amy and Elliot) by tasering her. Shortly afterwards, Restac, Alaya's twin sister, calls Rory, Tony and Ambrose from underground. After some shenanigans (love that word :D) not much involving Rory, Amy, and the Doctor plus Mo, Elliot and Nasreen are going to be executed. However, the elder Silurian intervenes, and to the relief of Rory, Amy and the Doctor, Mo, Elliot and Nasreen  survive. Rory decides to head underground with the body of Alaya, along with Tony and Ambrose. When Restac sees Rory carrying Alaya's corpse, she breaks down and wakes up the Silurians in stasis to begin a war. The humans, including Rory, escape to a control room, where Eldane (the elder Silurian) releases a toxic gas upon the underground Silurian city, killing those who are not in stasis. Rory, the Doctor and Amy run back to the TARDIS, but as they reach the TARDIS, the Doctor notices a crack on the wall. After the Doctor pulls something from the crack, a dying Restac crawls into the cave, and attempts to shoot the Doctor. Rory pushes the Doctor out of the way and takes the laser himself! Rory calls Amy beautiful, before he dies. The Doctor pulls Amy back into the TARDIS, as Rory is eaten by a crack and erased from time, so everyone but the Doctor forgets he existed!
