A group of [[dogging|doggers]] are having [[sex]]. One of them is [[smoking]] when he hears [[Cardiff Airport|the airport]] being blown up by [[Red Doors|terrorists]].

At the [[hospital]], [[ | At the [[hospital]], [[Orr]] is sitting by [[Jack Harkness]]'s bedside waiting for him to come back to life. In the meantime, they talk to [[Carol's mother|a woman]] whose [[Carol (Herald of the Dawn)|daughter]]'s form they take, scaring her away. Jack awakes and tells Orr that he was trying to stop the bombing, which they believe, and they leave with him. They hear a news report about [[Bernstein (Herald of the Dawn)|Inspector Bernstein]] and Jack says that he has found a way to stop Red Doors. | ||
[[St John Colchester|Mr Colchester]] sends a voicemail to [[Colin Colchester-Price|Colin]], who has gone to stay with [[Colin Colchester-Price's sister|his sister]] for a few days, and is approached by [[Ng]], with whom he is still unhappy. They head to [[the Hub]], where [[Yvonne Hartman (Pete's World)|Yvonne]] puts Mr Colchester in charge of dealing with the Rift, which is going out of control.

Tyler answers Andy's phone call to the Hub and asks him to send someone, but Mr Colchester tells him not to. Andy then calls Jack, who is with Inspector Bernstein and has been inadvertently dogging Yvonne's steps. Jack calls Yvonne, who does not pick up and continues drinking with Ro-Jedda. She asks Ro-Jedda why the Sorvix came to [[Earth]] and learns that they fled because of [[True Faith|their religion]]. Jack leaves her an angry voicemail and tells her that Red Doors plan to bomb [[Cardiff City Hall|City Hall]] before listening to the voicemail left by Andy, who says that he is concerned about Gwen.

In the Hub, Mr Colchester has gone blind and directs Tyler on what to do. The assassin emerges and decides to eat them, but Ng arrives and shoots him. The three of them set about closing the Rift. Jack and Orr take the [[invisible lift]] and see the Rift opening, causing Orr to begin changing. Jack says that they should risk the Rift opening, knowing that it would provoke a reaction from Ng, and Orr is finally able to read her and realises that she is not Gwen.

A bomb detonates and destroys City Hall where Yvonne and Ro-Jedda were toasting their victory. Inspector Bernstein leads the first responders and Andy arrives with [[South Wales Police|the police]]. Tyler receives a call about the explosion and Jack says that he chose to phone through a warning before coming for Gwen rather than going to City Hall, believing that she was more important. Tyler and Orr leave to take Mr Colchester to the hospital, but Orr stops the car to ask those worshipping God why they are doing so. | A bomb detonates and destroys City Hall where Yvonne and Ro-Jedda were toasting their victory.

Rhys arrives at the Hub. Ng stops looking like Gwen whilst the real Gwen wakes up and embraces him. Gwen tells Jack that she has spent her time considering who she is and what she wants and that she has decided to leave Torchwood to start a new life with Rhys and Anwen elsewhere, no longer wanting to be defined by the organisation. She bids Jack farewell and leaves with Rhys, unsure if they would see each other again. The Rift opens and Jack screams. | Rhys arrives at the Hub.
