Inside, Dining room, Dollhouse...

The Doctor, Jupiter and Alex all came into consciousness on the floor.

The Doctor quickly jumped up and ran to the door. "George! Don't do this! We want to help you, George!"

Jupiter and Alex both then leaned on the table to get up.

"We went...We went into the cupboard!" Alex exclaimed. "We went into the cupboard! How can it be bigger in here?"

Jupiter looked at the chicken that sat on the table curiously before picking it up and sniffing it. "It's more common than you'd think, actually. You're okay."

"Where are we?" Alex questioned.

"Obvious, isn't it?" The Doctor said, walking over to them.

"No!"

"Dolls' house!" He told him. "We're inside the dolls' house."

"The dolls' house?!"

"In the cupboard." Jupiter said as she continued to examine the stuff on the table. "In your flat. The dolls' house!"

"No, no, just slow down you two, would you?"

"Look, Alex! Wooden chicken!" Jupiter exclaimed, throwing it at Alex who caught it. "Cups, saucers, plates," She then threw a plate and cup. "knives, forks, fruit, chickens! Wood!"

"So... we're either inside the dolls' house or this a refuge for dirty posh people who eat wooden food. Or termites! Giant termites trying to get on the property ladder." The Doctor rambled out, picking up a melon and thrusting it at Alex. "No, that's possible. Is that possible?"

"Oh, shut up, Dad!" Jupiter rolled her eyes, walking past him.

"Oi! Don't talk to me like that, young lady." He said, following after her.

She rolled her eyes as she headed for the door. "I'm not that young."

"You're younger than me." He pointed out.

"Everybody's younger than you." She countered.

He stopped abruptly. "...Touché."

Jupiter grinned before opening the door and leaving the room, the Doctor following.

Alex just stood there before snapping out of his own thoughts, dropping the wooden items and running after the two.

Hall...

Jupiter and the Doctor walked down the hallway, Alex trailing after them.

"Wait, did you just call him dad?!" Alex exclaimed, not getting a response from either of them. "Look, will you both stop?" He grabbed the Doctor's lapels. "What is he? What is George? And how could I forget that Claire can't have kids? How?"

"Perception filter." The Doctor answered, clapping Alex on the arms before continuing on. "Some kind of hugely powerful perception filter. Convinced you and Claire. Everyone. Made you change your memories."

Jupiter stopped in front of a mirror, fixing her hair a bit. "Now, what do we suppose could do that?"

With that, she and the Doctor walked on.

Alex looked in mirror. "Just a mirror." He muttered before following after the Doctor and Jupiter.

After Alex left, no one saw a doll that was reflected in the mirror.

Library...

The dolls had now returned and started banging on the door.

"Lock it!" Amy shouted.
