TEXT: INT. TARDIS The DOCTOR is working the controls on the different panels of the console as AMY and RORY look on. DOCTOR: Apalapucia. AMY: Say it again? DOCTOR: Apalapucia. AMY: Apalapu...? DOCTOR: Cia. RORY: Apalapucia. DOCTOR: Apalapucia. AMY: Apalapucia. What a beautiful word. DOCTOR: Beautiful word, beautiful world. Apalapucia, voted number two planet in the top ten greatest destinations for the discerning intergalactic traveller. RORY: Why couldn't we go to number one? DOCTOR: It's hideous. Everyone goes to number one. Planet of the coffee shops. Apalapucia! I give you sunsets, spires, soaring silver colonnades! (leads them to the TARDIS doors) I give you... The DOCTOR opens to doors to reveal an empty white space with a set of double grey doors. EXT. TARDIS RORY looks out the TARDIS doors. RORY: Doors. DOCTOR: Doors. Yes. I give you doors. (steps out followed by RORY) But on the other side of those doors, I give you sunsets, spires, soaring silver colonnades. AMY: Have you seen my phone? DOCTOR: Your phone? AMY: Yeah. DOCTOR: Your mobile telephone? I bring you to a paradise planet, two billion light years away, and you want to update Twitter? AMY: Sunsets. Spires. Soaring silver colonnades. It's a camera phone. DOCTOR: On the counter, by the DVDs. AMY: Thank you. While AMY goes to get her phone, the DOCTOR joins RORY by the doors. RORY: How do we get in? DOCTOR: I don't know. Push a button. There's a panel to the side of the door with two buttons: a green anchor on top and a red waterfall on the bottom. RORY presses the green anchor.

SUMMARY:
The Doctor takes Amy and Rory to the planet Apalapucia, but they find that the planet is under quarantine as the two-hearted natives are susceptible to a deadly plague which will kill the infected within a day. Those infected by the plague are placed in an accelerated time stream, allowing them to live out their lives whilst in communication with their loved ones. Amy accidentally enters one of these rooms and is separated from the Doctor and Rory. The Doctor uses the TARDIS to locate her and Rory leaves to rescue her; the Doctor, who has two hearts, must remain on the TARDIS to avoid catching the plague. However, they have arrived 36 years later in Amy's time stream and the older Amy refuses to let them rescue her younger self. She later softens, however, and the Doctor says that both versions of Amy will be able to travel on the TARDIS. However, as both Amys are brought together and proceed to enter the TARDIS, the Doctor locks the older Amy out, explaining to Rory that the TARDIS would not allow this paradox.
