Having placed bombs around Cardiff, John detonated them to keep the rest of the Torchwood team occupied. Gray made John take Jack back to 27 AD Cardiff. Gray and Jack were reunited, only for Gray to stab Jack. Gray forced John to bury Jack alive, so he could endure a never ending cycle of suffocation and revival, as part of his revenge. Gray then set about destroying everything Jack cared for, travelling to the 21st century and sending adversaries to the city through time and space. He also set Weevils out into the streets of Cardiff using a high-pitched sound which came from a vortex manipulator. He detonated explosives across Cardiff, causing untold damage, killed the four highest ranking members of the Cardiff Police Force, caused a nuclear power plant to go critical and finally shot Toshiko Sato fatally while she was attempting to talk Owen Harper through shutting down the reactor. The resulting overload caused the living-dead Owen to watch as his body collapsed.
However, Jack was revealed to have been cryogenically preserved in 1901 after the Torchwood team of that era had discovered him.
