Spoilers: I suppose you could take this as series five speculation.. But it really could be any anomaly at any time and this spoiler warning is probably more of a spoiler than the actual story. :/

The waiting was killing her. Matt promised, when he stepped through the anomaly, he'd bring Connor home. He was hurt, probably dying someplace far away from her and that wasn't fair.

When the anomaly glittered brightly and a dark shape appeared, panic choked her. She just knew only one was coming home.

Only when the light lessened and she realized Connor was held safely in Matt's arms, came relief. She moved to Connor's side, gentle fingers tracing the outline of his face.

"Hey," she whispered through tears.

He couldn't speak but the corners of his mouth lifted; it was enough.
