Perry's Card

Perry hands his card to the Doctor in the Tricolour Coffee Bar, credentialing himself as Edward Waterfield's courier during a formal introduction. The Doctor accepts it amid his sugar-cube tower and Jamie's return from searching for Kenneth, as Perry precisely names Jamie 'Mister McCrimmon' yet misnames the Doctor 'Dr. Galloway.'
