Amy’s hallucination:

(Yeah, I posted this on Tumblr originally. :p)



Amy’s seeing her own hopes and desires here.

Falling into her Dalek-induced hallucination, the first thing Amy sees is a loving couple. The man is returning to the woman and she greets him happily. A reunion with her own loved one is the thing Amy wants most in the world at this point, but she watches with a blank expression.

Then the smiling man gestures to the little girl, who is illuminated by a spotlight. She’s standing at the back of the room, at the end of Amy’s path. In front of her is another couple, laughing together- that thing Amy and Rory aren’t doing anymore. Opposite those two is another man, who seems to be watching them- and Amy and Rory too have a man always watching them-

There’s the little girl. Her hair is red, like Amy’s, and she’s wearing a crown, she’s someone’s little princess. On seeing her Amy smiles, and her expression is (heartbreakingly) one of love and relief.

That girl was probably Hannah, the woman at the beginning’s lost daughter. But I think she might have been someone else’s lost daughter too.

And lastly, Amy’s expression when she ‘looks again’-

Whatever she thought was in that room…she really, really wanted it.
