History: Recap / DoctorWhoS33E06PS

After the end of ''[[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS33E05TheAngelsTakeManhattan}} The Angels Take Manhattan]]'', Brian Williams gets a visit at the home of his son and daughter-in-law. This is strange, because Brian doesn't live with Rory and Amy; he's just watering the plants.

The stranger brings a note from Rory, explaining that he and Amy are trapped in the past, and can never come home. Rory laments that he won't see his father again, and tells him how much he loved him. Moreover, Rory's letter introduces Anthony -- Anthony Brian Williams -- their adopted son, and Brian's adopted grandson.

Anthony offers his hand to Brian; Brian embraces Anthony.

!!This episode provides examples of:

* BookEnds: The episode picks up with Brian watering the plants, as he promised to do in ''[[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS33E04ThePowerOfThree}} The Power of Three]]''.
* CallBack: A man ringing a doorbell at a house that should be empty, but isn't, delivering an important letter from someone stuck in the past? We've seen that before, in [[{{Recap/DoctorWhoNSS3E10Blink}} the very first episode featuring the Weeping Angels.]]
** Also doubles as a BookEnd itself, for the moment.
* [[LukeYouAreMyFather Brian, You Are My Grandfather]]
* TearJerker: And how. All the more remarkable in that it's all done with a storyboard and music, and the only words spoken are those from Rory's voiceover.
* TimeyWimeyBall / TheSlowPath: Thanks to time travel, Brian's grandson is older than he is.
* WriteBackToTheFuture: Rory's letter to Brian.
