The God Complex (TV story)

 was the eleventh episode in the sixth series of Doctor Who.

Synopsis
The Doctor, Amy and Rory investigate a hotel of horror where repeat business is low but the body count is high... A mighty monster stalks the corridors and the rooms hold visions of Angels, apes and creepy clowns. Who - or what - has brought them to this place? And can the Doctor solve the mystery before the residents check out in grisly style?

Plot
A woman called Lucy Hayward is writing about a mysterious monster and how it has made all of her companions 'praise him' after they find their rooms. Soon she starts to praise him and the Creature kills her.

Soon after, the Doctor Amy and Rory arrive in the hotel and the Doctor begins to investigate, certain that they are somewhere fascinating. Rory shows him a picture of a Sontaran on the wall. The Doctor then sees many more of these pictures with numerous different races on them, including a Judoon Captain and the girl from the beginning, Lucy Hayward. He walks down the staircase that the TARDIS appeared on and almost gets hit by a chair leg held by a girl called Rita. Rita is with Howie, a human nerd and Gibbis, a cowardly mole like alien. The Doctor asks them about the hotel and Rita says that each room contains a bad dream. She also reveals that their was another member of their group called Joe, but that he has changed and now praises the creature. The Doctor goes to see him and discovers that he's tied up in his room, which is full of ventriloquist dummies. He tells the Doctor that everyone here has a room, even him. The group take Joe with them, but that causes the Creature to sense Joe's presence and come to kill him. The group all search for rooms to hide in. Howie becomes attracted to a room and inside it is a group of attractive girls who mock him for being nerdy and for having a stutter. The Doctor pulls him out of the room and they look for somewhere else to hide. Amy, Howie and Gibbis enter a room full of Weeping Angels, where the octor arrives and informs Amy to face her fear, as they're not real.

 * Rita becomes the latest in a line of characters who are invited to become companions by the Doctor, only to die soon after.
