He says he told her his name, but it's revealed later that he told her to look into his eye, showing her that he's the shape-shifting robot and she can "kill" him without actually killing him.

* KarmaHoudini: With most of the episode's events being subject to a CosmicRetcon when River "kills" the Doctor, Kovarian ends up escaping any actual punishment for the heinous things she did throughout the season, and it's likely that from her perspective, her plan to kill the Doctor went off without a hitch. The Big Finish audios later retconned this by establishing that Kovarian ''did'' remember everything that happened in the episode (including the Silence turning on and killing her), and was eventually brought to justice by River.

The Silence in their tanks are starting to crack. They weren't captured -- they were waiting. Waiting to activate all those eyepatches and electrocute the people wearing them. River and Amy manage to rip off theirs. Rory yells at them to escape while he holds back the Silence. He keeps his eyepatch on so he can see them. As Amy realises that this might kill him, she figures out who he is, and tells him to run before his patch activates. He tells her that [[IronWoobie it already has]]. Almost mad with the pain and with clenched fists, he stands his ground. But Amy manages to improvise an escape, and on their way out they confront Madame Kovarian, who is ''extremely'' confused as to why the Silence haven't skipped her own eye patch and why her eye has been burned out.
