The Eleventh Doctor , Amy , and Rory are stuck in a space loop , trapping them in the TARDIS forever . Only one person can save them : another Amy Pond ? Plot . The new Amy explains to the Eleventh Doctor , Rory Williams and the other Amy that she is Amy from slightly in the future : she stepped into the TARDIS exterior , which has drifted slightly into the future , and it sent her into the TARDIS interior slightly in the past . The present Amy is confused and is told it ' s only what the future Amy was told when she was in the present Amy ' s place . Future Amy says that present Amy enters the exterior of the TARDIS after slapping Rory . Rory wonders why he must be slapped and the Doctor tells them this timeline must be maintained or they will end up with two Amys forever . Rory begins thinking about it . Amy , catching on to his train of thought , slaps him for the idea . The Doctor rushes Amy to the police box , but Amy stops to compliment her future self ' s appearance . The Doctor thinks they ' re doomed and says , " Oh , this is how it ends : Pond flirting with herself . True love at last . " He apologises to Rory in case he has hurt his feelings , but Rory has no problem with it as he was distracted by the two versions of his wife . The present Amy enters the box to become the future Amy , making there once again one Amy . Amy wonders if things are okay now , but the Doctor tells them that they are still trapped . Another Amy appears through the interior TARDIS door again , with a second Rory in tow . The Doctor asks them why they entered and Rory tells him that he told them to and jumbles up his words explaining that he ' s about to tell the present Amy and Rory to enter the police box . Present Rory asks if he has to remember all of this , but he ' s told by future Rory it happens spontaneously . Amy flirts with herself again , but the Doctor tells her to stop and forces Amy and Rory into the police box . Amy wonders what they should do now , but the Doctor tells her and Rory to stay where they are to stave off further complication . Rory asks the Doctor what he is doing . The Doctor explains that he is setting up a controlled temporal implosion to reset the TARDIS , but since he doesn ' t know which lever to pull , the entire TARDIS could explode . Amy chastises him for not knowing what to do , but the Doctor tells her that though he doesn ' t know now , he will in a moment . A second Doctor walks through the doors and says to pull the wibbly lever . The Doctor thanks himself , does so and enters the police box before it dematerialises . The Doctor explains that everything is back to normal and there is no longer any danger of the localised time field imploding and destroying all causality . He adds , " But just in case . . . Pond , put some trousers on " , before returning to work on the console . Amy glares at Rory , who can ' t find anything to say in his defence and walks off . Amy smiles and walks off . References .
