Rex arrived in Wales to take Gwen and Jack, identified as Torchwood, to America. (TW: The New World)

Jack Harkness, having been made mortal after Miracle Day was poisoned, but Gwen and Rex almost tear the plane they're on board apart to counteract the poison. Esther and Rex had the CIA turn against them. Oswald went on television, apparently feeling regret about his murder and rape of Susie Cabina. (TW: Rendition)
• Oswald Danes decided to accept Jilly Kitzinger as his public relations woman and promoted the idea of free healthcare following Miracle Day.

Jack confronted Oswald Danes, but Oswald ambushed him. (TW: Dead of Night)
• Torchwood left for Los Angeles to discover more insight into PhiCorp. Oswald Danes met a new rival in Ellis Hartley Monroe, who was suddenly crushed into a car by "The Families".

In Wales, Geraint was taken away from the hospital to an overflow camp. (TW: Escape to LA)

Dr. Juarez, learning of this, joined Torchwood. She and Rex looked into San Pedro Overflow Camp. After discovering the horrible conditions there, Dr. Juarez was thrown into a Module by Colin Maloney to be incinerated alongside the category 1s, so she couldn't speak up.
