Line 6:
The episodes resolve some of the plot threads set up in [[Doctor Who/Recap/S30/E08 Silence in the Library|Doctor Who]].
Like "[[Doctor Who/Recap/2011 Red Nose Day Special Space and Time|Space]]" and "[[Doctor Who/Recap/2011 Red Nose Day Special Space and Time|Time]]", these minisodes are all [[Bottle Episode
'''Bad Night'''
Line 14:
Amy answers the TARDIS phone one night, and gets the Prince of Wales on the line. She absently swats a fly while trying to figure out what's going on. The Doctor arrives shortly after, carrying a fish bowl and getting quite cross at Amy for touching his phone. As Amy tries to get through to the Doctor about the fact that she can't sleep, because she's been through a severe trauma for months now, the Doctor yells out to River (outside the TARDIS) about the fact that the fish is not, in fact, the Queen, but an ordinary fish. And the fly Amy killed was a man. He delegates Amy's emotional troubles to a very sleepy Rory while dashing out again.
* [[Bad Liar]]: The Doctor, when it comes to River
Line 25:
* [[Noodle Incident]]: How '''did''' the Queen turn into a goldfish?
'''Good Night'''
Line 31:
The Doctor comes home from a party one night to find Amy waiting for him. She still can't sleep; there are two timelines in her head, one with her parents and one without, and she's been having a lot of trouble coping. She feels that the Doctor's human friends are just little blips in his life, and even Rory's Auton memories are flighty at best. The Doctor avoids actually reassuring her, instead hooking her up to the TARDIS telepathic link and having her look at her most painful memory of all. Which consists of her dropping an ice cream when she was little. As the TARDIS uncovers more of the memory for her, it changes to a nice red-headed lady in a nighty buying her a second ice cream. The Doctor takes her out to go do just that.
* [[Call Back]]: To ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E13 The Big Bang|The Big Bang]]''.
** Amy's changing memory is similar to Kazran Sardick's in ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/2010 CS A Christmas Carol|A Christmas Carol]]''.
Line 41:
* [[Timey-Wimey Ball]]: The Doctor causes Amy's past to change while she is remembering it.
'''First Night / Last Night'''
The Doctor and River have their very first date since their wedding, during her first night of imprisonment in Stormcage. While she changes into a dress he got her, a second River appears, who's been in Stormcage for five years. The Doctor tries to prevent them from meeting each other in order to prevent paradox. A third River walks in, wearing that same dress, followed by an older version of the Doctor. He's going to take her to see the Singing Towers of
* [[Acting for Two]]: Multiple versions of the Doctor and River appear.
* [[Author's Saving Throw]]: In series 4, River mentioned that the Doctor had a new haircut during their last night together. In this episode, he wears a hat.
Line 65:
** Definitely a [[Call Back]] to the "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S32/E07 A Good Man Goes to War|whole different birthday]]" River mentioned.
'''Up All Night'''
Line 71:
Sophie prepares to leave for the weekend, and Craig is worried about whether or not he'll be able to take care of Alfie.
* [[Dolled-Up Installment]]: Doesn't match the rest of the set in style or theme, or for that matter share any characters, and looks suspiciously like a deleted scene or prequel for "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S32/E12 Closing Time|Closing Time]]" that they just decided to stick the "Night and the Doctor" label on.
