On one hand, it's hysterical seeing Sylvia subjected to the Doctor's antics. On the other, it is deeply terrifying how she treats him after he gets touched by the plant, and while she did seem to learn her lesson by the end (whether she consciously realized it or not), it is so hard to listen to her berate him for not remembering things and being upset with him and it really underscores the message of the entire story and of how we treat the elderly.

NARRATOR: The newest guest had realised that all was not as it seemed at the Wild Pastures Rest Home. Something was wrong here. Something was very wrong indeed.

SYLVIA: It's the walls. I don't like the colour. They're not... restful. A rule of mine is if you wouldn't buy a bathroom suite that shade, then don't paint the walls with it. Also, avoid any paint named after a fruit. Avocado? Tomat— Tangerine! They call this a rest home, but these walls could cause murder. And don't even get me started on the food. This isn't lasagne- it's a cry for help! (sighs) You lot aren't much for conversation, are you? No. I mean, I expected a little better. Apparently, Wild Pastures has a very select kind of clientele, but look at you! I mean... nothing unkind, but you're... institutionalised. When I saw the brochure, it was all about ever-young yoga and epicurean extravaganzas and theatrical outings. But you're... sat on plastic sofas, watching TV till your sentence is up. Poor old dears.
