"I like what you've done with the place," The Doctor said as he looked around the house. "Really fixed it up."
"Been here before then?" said Irene, leading the four into the sitting room.
"Once."
"Then I'm sure you know what's in the basement."
"I know what's in everyone's basement, Irene," The Doctor replied dismissively as everyone sat down on large, stuffed couches.
"What about their second basement?"
"Yes," said The Doctor, trying to avert his eyes.
"Would you like to go down there?" Irene asked with a suggestive tilt of her head.
"No thank you, I think it's best if I don't. Now the thing I wanted to talk to you about..."
"Irene, is someone there?" called a voice from upstairs.
"Yes, Sally, an old friend of mine just popped in for a visit," responded Irene.
Sally came down the stairs and stopped at the bottom. The Doctor got up and hugged her.
"Sally! You probably don't recognized me, I was in a different regeneration when we last met. I'm The Doctor."
"Doctor! Oh, I never thought I'd see you again! You saved my life you know."
"Yes, I suppose I did. I never thanked you for returning my TARDIS."
"No bother."
"I see you two have met before," Irene said as she sat up just a bit straighter.
"Yes, when I was sent back into the sixties by the weeping angels she returned my TARDIS to me and fought off the angels single handedly."
"Well, I had a bit of help..." Sally said bashfully.
"Speaking of the weeping angels," said The Doctor, "I know you have five in your basement right now. I'd like to speak to them please."
"Speak to them?" Rory interjected, "They can't hear you. It won't work."
"Yes it will," said The Doctor standing up and tugging at his jacket, "Well? Are you coming or what?"
Irene and Sally led the other four down to the basement, where the light was perpetually on, and showed them the five angels. Their faces were open in a gruesome grimace, their hands were linked and their wings spread out and wide. Their stone dresses were furled in a nonexistent wind and but for their faces, might even look peaceful. The Doctor approached them, sonic screwdriver held out. He stepped inside their circle and leaned into whisper something in one of the angel's ear. He pointed the sonic at them and took a reading. He whispered something else and the cycle continued. He interrogated the angels for over an hour while the five others watched.
The Doctor stepped back from the angels when he received the answer he was looking for. He closed his eyes resignedly, nodded to himself, and stepped out of their circle.
"Amy, Rory, John. Come." The Doctor said as he jogged up the stairs. "We have to move."
Sally followed, thinking Irene was with her, The Woman, however, stayed behind. She walked confidently over to the angels and leaned over ones shoulder, staring into the circle.
"Did you hear that? He knows your plan. He knows what you want, and so do I. I can get it for you. All you have to do is get me what I want."
