Doctor Who: 10 Worst Things Amy Pond Has Ever Done

7. Asylum Of The Daleks - Not Properly Talking To Rory

Series 7A features the last five episodes to feature Amy and Rory travelling with the Doctor. By this point, after series 6, the couple from Leadworth travel more on a now and then basis. But, as shown in prequel mini-sode Pond Life, "something is wrong with Amy and Rory".

When we are first reintroduced to Amy and Rory for the series, Amy is at a modelling job, and after being told her husband is here, she heartbreakingly replies "I don't have a husband". Going to her dressing room, she is met by Rory, who is waiting for her to sign divorce papers. The story goes on and the two are separately captured by the Daleks and taken to their Parliament before being sent into the titular Dalek Asylum along with the Doctor.

Later in the story, whilst the Doctor is off trying to collect Oswald, the Ponds (or really Williams) begin to discuss why they are separating. Rory reveals Amy kicked him out, the couple argue and Amy breaks down revealing she did not kick him out, rather she gave him up. We learn Rory has always wanted kids, and after whatever was done to her at Demons Run last series, Amy can no longer get pregnant. Everything gets more emotional, before they discover Amy has the Doctor's bracelet and so is now safe.

Now waiting for the Doctor, and the Asylum beginning to be destroyed, Rory asks how long they can wait to teleport off. To that Amy responds "for the rest of our lives", they kiss and seemingly everything's okay again by the end of episode.

Whether a slightly rushed script element or not, it can't not be said whether would the two have reached the stage of near divorce if they would have actually spoke to each other properly, rather than the argument and storming off we are shown.
