Unknown dates

• Chloe Webber's father died. (DW: Fear Her)
• The Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond landed in Manchester where they encountered the Alifabe. (DWAM: Sky Scraper)
• The Miracle occured. Oswald Danes survived his execution. Rex Matheson was impaled and sent to City General Hospital. He and Esther Drummond investigated Torchwood. Captain Jack Harkness returned to Earth. Jack wiped out all records of Torchwood. Gwen Cooper and Rhys Williams came out of hiding after Geraint Cooper suffered a heart attack. Rex arrived in Wales to take Gwen and Jack, identified as Torchwood, to America. (TW: The New World)
• Dr. Vera Juarez was invited to a conference in Washington, D.C. to look into the effects of the Miracle. 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. Esther and Rex have been forced to join Torchwood, and with the help of Dr. Juarez, looked into what PhiCorp were doing after discovering a stockpile of drugs pre-dating 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". Gwen Cooper and Jack Harkness infiltrated a PhiCorp headquarters for sensitive information, but were nearly stopped by The Gentleman, before Rex shot him. In Wales, Geraint was taken away from the hospital to an overflow camp. (TW: Escape to LA)
• Various world governments implemented the categories of life. Gwen tried to rescue her father Geraint in Cowbridge Overflow Camp, but he suffered another heart attack and became category 1. 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. Oswald's standing was raised further at the Miracle Rally in Los Angeles. (TW: The Categories of Life)
• Maloney sent San Pedro Camp into lockdown while attempting to cover up his murder of Dr. Juarez. Jack spoke to senior PhiCorp member Stuart Owens about the Miracle, but Owens pointed out that he was also trying to find answers, figuring that someone was playing the system and that his agents traced the phrase "The Blessing". Maloney's associate Ralph, unable to cope from the madness, shot him. Gwen rescued Geraint from being incinerated in Cowbridge, destroying the facility in the process and breaking the coverup of the Modules, but as she arrived back in California, she learnt that Rhys and her mother and daughter had been taken and that these people demanded Jack. (TW: The Middle Men)
• Gwen followed the mysterious group's orders and tied up Jack; taking him to Mesa, California. In Wales, a team of police led by Sgt. Davidson rescued Gwen's family from being held hostage. Rex and Esther ambushed the people who wanted to take Jack, but a woman noted that Jack would come along anyway, as she revealed Angelo Colasanto had waited a long time for Jack and knew all about the Miracle. (TW: Immortal Sins)
