...need to watch it while remembering the following subtext, which I will white text for everyone's protection should they wish to avoid it:
River Song has been "dead" for years now. The Doctor watches her die in the Library. He's travelled with her and her parents for an extended time now without ever telling any of them this.
There's reason for his monologue with the Widow: he knows the day when he must do so is coming. Do not expect the news to go over well. The road to hell, as they say, is paved with good intentions and knowing Amy and Rory, his position as "son-in-law", the secrets he's already kept, and his promise to keep her safe once he "finds" her, he will likely not be able to justify this...
There you go. That ought to give folks an "oh, shit" moment or two...
