Literal flolz over here at your TARDIS hat scenario.

Or I don't know maybe it is all just a fluke of social awkwardness and nothing is wrong at all. I'll have more evidence to back up one side or the other of the story after Rennes I guess. I sure ain't sending Flo in after Patrice this time though because I learned my lesson on that front. .01 seconds of Flo smiling at you is a guaranteed way to be reminded that life is amazing, whereas a conversation with Patrice could go either way...
