Added DiffLines:

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: [[NoodleIncident Whatever happened]] with Lorna and the Doctor in the Gamma Forest, it was enough to inspire her to risk--and eventually lose--her life for him. But it's heavily implied that he doesn't remember her and is only humoring her as she dies.


Added DiffLines:

* TooDumbToLive: Dorium unaccountably thinks he can negotiate a peace with the Headless Monks despite literally everyone else telling him to stop. It ends about as you'd expect.

* FunnyConceptionStory: The Doctor discovers the reason a pregnant Amy was kidnapped was because her baby is part Time Lord, in spite of her parents being fully human. Because of this, Vastra has an awkward conversation with the Doctor on whether baby Melody's conception may have had something to do with it. [[spoiler: Becomes even funnier when it's revealed Melody grows up to be recurring character and the Doctor's LoveInterest, River Song]].
-->'''Doctor:''' Because I don't understand how this happened.
-->'''Vastra''': Which leads me to ask ''when'' did it happen?
-->'''Doctor''': ''When?''
-->'''Vastra''': I am trying to be delicate. I know how you can blush. When did this baby... begin? [...] [C]ould the child have begun on the Tardis in flight, in the vortex.
-->'''Doctor''': No! No! Impossible! It's all running about, sexy fish vampires and blowing up stuff. And Rory wasn't even there at the beginning. [[spoiler: Then he was dead, then he didn't exist, then he was plastic. Then I had to reboot the whole universe.]] Long story. So, technically the first time they were on the Tardis together in this version of reality, was on their w-

-->'''Lorna Bucket:''' It's a prayer leaf, and we believe if you keep this with you, your child will always come home to you. \\
'''Amy:''' Can I borrow your gun?\\
'''Lorna:''' ''(beat)'' Why?\\
'''Amy:''' 'Cause I've got a feeling you're going to keep talking.

'''River:''' Yes, but at a different point in time.\\
'''Rory:''' Unless there's two of them. \\

* BirdsOfAFeather: Lorna, like Amy, met the Doctor when she was a little girl, and it seems like he was just as big of an influence on Lorna as he was on Amy. Case in point, Lorna is the only cleric seen trying to be nice to Amy, thoiugh she understandably has no niceties to share with one of her abductors.

** Although considering how many men were accused of being Jack the Ripper, she may have merely eaten one of the many suspects, or even a copycat. Alternately, given the show's [[SchrodingersCanon incredibly casual]] attitude to what constitutes canon and the fact the BBC's publicly funded status means they're literally not allowed to overtly acknowledge tie-in fiction in the show, it's possible that all three are true [[MultipleChoicePast in different continuities]].



* LetThemDieHappy: Lorna met the Doctor as a child, and has spent her whole life hoping to meet him again. She joined the Clerics in order to meet him and finally does on the Demon's Run asteroid, but the Doctor hasn't yet visited her and she's been mortally wounded. The Doctor pretends to remember her for her last moments, rather than let her die disappointed.
