Storyline
| Plot Summary |
The Doctor and Rory begin their quest to find Amy who has been kidnapped. She's also given birth and they have her baby girl, Melody, as well. They begin by scouring the universe where the Doctor calls in debts and head for Demon's Run where Amy is being held. The only one who refuses to join him is River Song. The battle is short-lived and both Amy and Melodie are saved. Perhaps the battle to save them was too easy. It's clearly Melodie the kidnappers were interested in and her DNA reveals she's something more than just human. They've also been fooled however and the baby has been taken. When River Song appears, she reveals who she truly is. Written by garykmcd |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | According to Steven Moffat, Captain Jack Harkness was going to be part of The Doctor's Army. However, John Barrowman was filming Season Four of Torchwood (2006) ("Miracle Day") in America. Moffat said that it was just as well, since he would have had to make the episode about not only Jack returning, but getting used to the Eleventh Doctor. See more » |

| Quotes |
River Song:
[voiceover]
Demons run when a good man goes to war. Night will fall and drown the sun when a good man goes to war. Friendship dies and true love lies. Night will fall and the dark will rise when a good man goes to war. Demons run but count the cost; the battle's won but the child is lost. See more » |
