I actually reckon she's the one that suggested using the horse.
See, I would have liked seeing that scene. Instead, we just get her looking sad and lost and that made me all sad and lost, and both of us lost a bit of faith in the Doctor being a person rather than some clever animatronic mock-up. The faith came back when he acted like himself again in the next episode, but there was a week there where I wondered if I'd ever like the Doctor again.
And he could have, I don't know, gone back to Reinette in the flipping TARDIS instead of the fireplace, so that Reinette didn't spend the rest of her life waiting for him to come back.
But then we'd have to keep her and that would have been WEIRD. "I'm the Doctor, and these two are my girlfriends and this bloke here is the boyfriend of one of my girlfriends."
Well, the Doctor would have to deal with the consequences of flirting with someone new once he already has someone in the TARDIS (I actually wanted Lynda to come on board for a bit at the end of S1, for just that kind of reason -- the Doctor really should have figured out how to interact with humans by now, and if he hasn't, he deserves a good kick in the pants).
