"Coat Stand"
Gwen and Tosh stood and stared at the thing in front of them. It was Owen. Petrified. Stock still, rock hard (as you would be if you had been turned to stone) and perfectly preserved in the act of looking into the funny little alien artefact he'd been studying.
'Well,' said Gwen 'you know what they say…'
Tosh looked at her quizzically.
'About a hard man being good to find…' finished Gwen hesitantly.
"Yes...' murmured Tosh, 'Well I suppose he'll make a good coat stand for Jack.'
