Publisher's summary

Following the events directly after The Wrong Hands the team head back to Torchwood 3 to order pizza while Ianto Jones heads out to by some coffee. Meanwhile the father of the alien that appeared in The Wrong Hands had come to Earth to collect his child only to find that he had been killed during a "gas leak" at a local store (actually an alien gun set to self-destruct) and blames Torchwood for his death. He quickly infiltrates Torchwood where he intends to send the team into a coma-like state using a special dart he bought for an alien arms dealer . Wearing an invisibility suit he hits Jack and Gwen with a dart each when he engages with them in a brief conversation asking where the tea-boy (Ianto) was athough right after that sentence Ianto shoots the alien in the head with a shotgun and retorts that he's the "Coffee-boy". Quicly the coma-like effects soon settle in on Jack and Gwen and in a few minutes they are completey immobile due to the darts. Once frozen, Ianto quickly dedueces that the father, intentionally looking for son, must of then proceeded to buy the darts from an alien arms dealer and he then runs a refrence to see who else may have been affected by the virus. Thankfully he finds one reference an heads to the families' house. He talks to the wife of the victim and then procceds to look in the man's office for clues to why he was infected with virus. He finds a document releating to an alien arms dealer and then heads to the location.
