In this particular episode, the Doctor takes Amy and Rory for a romantic mini-break to 16th-century Venice. But as the Tardis touches down, everything is not as it should be. The House of Calvierri has the whole city sealed under its protection, presumably to keep everyone safe from the Plague. But something is very wrong, and Rosanna Calvierri may have other plans. There are dessicated, blood-drained corpses in the street, something terrifying lurks in the canal, and the Calvierri girls are the loveliest in town, except when you glance in the mirror.
