RECAP INCLUDING SCENES OF THE LITTLE GIRL AND EYE-PATCH LADY, CULMINATING IN THE FINAL SCENES OF "THE ALMOST PEOPLE"
SPACE
An asteroid has been converted to a base known as Demon's Run. Leave her! The Doctor. If the Doctor's really coming here, where is he? She is wearing a late (?) RIVER: Yes, he did. RORY: The Doctor's idea. He hears the TARDIS. LORNA arrives and takes her position. KOVARIAN: Get back in there with the rest of them. AMY: Melody. Hello, Melody Pond! Melody Pond is a superhero! MELODY squeals. Specifically...human plus Time Lord. The lights go out and AMY and RORY stand by the cot. She's Amy and Rory's daughter. DOCTOR: When? DOCTOR: (gulps) On their wedding night. This is too easy. AMY is holding MELODY. RORY: Is that the Monks? In the Gamma Forests. The DOCTOR looks at the Gallifreyan writing on the cot and then up at RIVER. DOCTOR: (looks at AMY and RORY) Ooh! RIVER: Amazing. The DOCTOR uses the sonic to lift the force field and enters the TARDIS. (gives AMY the prayer leaf) It's your daughter's name in the language of the forest. The Doctor will find your daughter and he will care for her whatever it takes and I know that. One side becomes "River" and the other "Song".

River Song refuses to join the Doctor, explaining that she cannot be there until the end, when he discovers her identity. The Doctor and Rory secure the base, free Amy, and take back Melody. The Doctor's allies discover that Melody contains both human and Time Lord DNA, a result of her being conceived on the TARDIS on Amy and Rory's wedding night. As Rory and the rest of the Doctor's allies battle the Headless Monks , the Doctor learns that he has been tricked: Melody has been replaced by a Ganger duplicate, and he is too late. River Song arrives communicates her identity to the Doctor and he races off in the TARDIS, promising Amy and Rory that he will get their daughter back. River then informs the couple that she is in fact their daughter; "River Song" is a translation of "Melody Pond" in the language of the Gamma Forest.
