Tallulah's song for Diagoras plays in an alien cantina, where many races from the last five years can be found. Jack Harkness sits at the bar, a thousand miles from Gwen and all that death, and the bartender brings him a note from the Doctor. He looks up, shocked, and locks eyes with him: The Doctor salutes. He knows now what it's like: To be hard, to be soft. To be a man. He has forgiven Jack for that, and so much more.

Bells at a church, after the wedding's ended: It's the Temple-Nobles! She screams a lot, abusing Nerys -- "You made me wear peach." That's because you are a peach. Furry skin, stone inside, going off -- and shoving everybody around to get their pictures taken while Sylvia and Wilf look on, leading the cheers and weeping for joy. Minnie goes after Wilf one more time, as Sylvia sees the Doctor, just beyond the garden.
