He claims to be “making sure the trees are the right height” but Wednesday knows better, and point-balnk asks if he is here about the Weeping Angel. He admits as much, and, intrigued at her immunity to the psychic paper, agrees to show her the interior of his Ship, where she has a series of visions about his other selves. The TARDIS detects evidence of other Wednesdays in multiple universes and the Doctor speculates that was why the Angel targeted her. He offers her the chance to travel with him but she declines and they go their separate ways.
