   Summary

   Ivy was supposed to be good at surviving.

   Unfortunately, surviving becomes significantly harder once the Doctor starts paying attention to her properly.

   Now they are;

   - Sharing beds that are definitely 'just for sleeping'
   - Emotionally devastating late night conversations
   - An alarming amount of accidental hand holding
   - One extremely clingy ancient alien,
   - One chaotic gremlin girl who keeps casually saying life-altering things like they are casual observation
   - And a TARDIS that is absolutely abusing her matchmaking privileges.

   Meanwhile Amy and Rory are trapped watching two touch-starved disasters slowly ruin each other emotionally through acts of increasing domestic affection.

   Or: The Doctor discovers being cared for is psychologically catastrophic, Ivy discovers staying is worse, and everyone suffers immensely about it.
