The stocky unshaven bloke in the coma ward has pictures of his beloved black dog everywhere near his bedside, to keep him company. Rory can't seem to get a break from the doctor lady, whom even though she just heard them all yowling doesn't really think that Rory's obviously correct suspicions that something iffy is going on should be respected. Which I mean, this is a weird thing and I suppose she's within her fictional rights to blow it off altogether rather than running off into an adventure with this twitchy nurse -- he's got Frodo eyes -- so she tells him to go home and sleep off the crazy. "Why are you giving me your phone?" she interrupts herself, because he wants to give her proof that the talking coma people have also been wandering the village. Before he can show her the pics, her beeper goes off and she sends him home for the day. The shorthand for the bureaucratic frustration we're meant to be singing is him stuttering a lot of but-but-but, but it's effective enough.

The redhead continues to observe the Doctor -- who is chained to a radiator just opposite the mysterious hidden door concept to which we still haven't been properly introduced -- in her miniskirt and tiny bowler hat. (I must admit I was confused, although not as much as some.) She tells him that he's speaking to the person who lives in the house, that she's both the tenant and the police, and he asks her then how many rooms there are. Why? "Because it will change your life." He says things like this constantly, with only hotness and dramatic skill making it anything less than embarrassing.

She counts the rooms -- five -- and he directs her to the sixth, just behind her: "Exactly where you don't want to look. Where you never want to look." (Jacob crack, as we all know by now, but without the follow-through of it being anything but a narrative bridge to symbolic nowhere.) She finally glimpses it, out of the corner of her eye, and he explains the sixth door carries a "perception filter" (was it the Preachers that used those?) that makes the eye slide away. The woman is grossed out! "But that's a whole room! That's a whole room I've never even noticed!" Right, because of the filter. Zero's got himself a room to rent.
