 Back at the home office, Frobisher, asks what would happen to the children, and the “456” by responding that a “Remnant” is watching, and then says it is off the record. It then invites Frobisher in with a camera.
-A cameraman enters, and we see a profile of the 456. Decker then says he is detecting 3 heartbeats and that there are 3 distinct types of life in there. We then see a child hooked up to something.

-As the cameraman leaves, a recording of Frobisher's voice saying it is off the record is played, the 456 then says they do not harm the children and they feel no pain. The 456 then say if humanity refuse to hand over the children, they will wipe out their entire species.

 The Americans then demand all the records of 1965 from the PM, and threaten him, with UN sanctions of some sort for withholding the information.
-Back with Jack, he and Ianto argue, and Jack eventually leaves and says he will call Frobisher, and tells Ianto that Frobisher has his children. He calls Frobisher and makes it look like he has worked out what the 456 want, and threatens to go public.
+After an argument with Ianto about his role in the child swap, Jack calls Frobisher to confirm that the 456 have returned.  Jack contends that the 456's return is proof that they cannot be trusted.  Frobisher informas Jack that he has Jack's daughter and grandson but they will be unharmed if Jack does not reveal Briton's former dealings with the 456.  Jack insists he need to confront the 456.
 There is then a Cobra meeting, which Lois attends. The PM then says they will try to haggle, but they cant take military action as there isn’t anything to target. The PM and Frobisher then talk about camouflaged targets but no more. At one point in the meeting Bridget looks at Lois with suspicion. The PM then tells Frobisher to offer 60 Units” and no more.
-Back at the 456 “embassy” Frobisher offers the 456 1 child per million people on Earth, the 456 refuse and Frobisher then gives them time to consider say 325 000, which the children start chanting. Unlike the initial chanting children in each country are saying a different number, which is 10% of the total children in each country.
+Back at the 456 “embassy” Frobisher offers the 456 1 child per million people on Earth.  The 456 refuse, but Frobisher suggests that they consider his offer, since it is far more children that previously provided.  Around the world, children begin to chant a number, which upon investigation, turns out to be 10% of the total children in each country.
 Back at Johnson's facility, it turns out that she is being kept in the dark and decides to go into London, but keeps her team on the lookout for Jack.
-At the Cobra meeting, they discuss how to select the 10%. One of the cabinet members Denise, then proposes that they select on the basis of intellect and social status, using the school league tables. This proposal is accepted and given to Frobisher as his 10% to give to the 456.
+At the Cobra meeting, a discussion commences regarding how to select the 10%. First it is proposed that every family should lose only one child, and perhaps each "second child" should be taken.  The logisitics of this are deemed too complicated.  Then Denise, one of the cabinet members, proposes that they select the children on the basis of intellect and social status, using the school league tables. This proposal is accepted and given to Frobisher as the source of the 10% to be given to the 456.
-The Torchwood team then realise that Lois footage will give the Torchwood team enough to blackmail all of the cabinet, and force there way into Thames House. Ianto then phones his sister to warn her even knowing that the line is tapped and also asks the people monitoring them to protect their children, they give his position to Johnson anyway.
+The Torchwood team determines that Lois' footage gives them leverage to blackmail the cabinet, and force there way into Thames House. Ianto phones his sister to warn her, knowing that the line is tapped.  He also sends a message to those listening--to protect their children.  Ionto also makes a quick call to Gwen, providing Johnson with infomation regarding Torchwood's location.
-A little later, Johnson arrives, and they work out where the Team where hiding. In a Cobra meeting, Frobisher proposes a false vaccination that will “go wrong” allowing them to put the blame on the 456. Lois then speaks up and admits working for Torchwood, and recording the footage and blackmails them.
+Frobisher begins to plan how children will be gathered and notes that the government can promise an innoculation to prevent children from chanting messages in unison.  He suggests that it can be reported that the false vaccination "went wrong” allowing the government to put the blame on the 456 for the loss of the children.
-Johnson arrives a the Torchwood Hub, but Gwen was expecting them, and shows them what they were recording. Rhys has gone into hiding and is ready to send out the footage the second something goes wrong.
+Thames House and confront the 456.
-While Jack talks to the 456, they seem convinced he will yield again. Jack says he is making it a war, then the 456 says the fight begins. The 456 then say they have released a virus into the building that will kill everyone. Ianto and Jack shoot at the 456 chamber, but the bullets bounce off. Jack says he will get Ianto out, but he says its too late and collapses.
