After resurrecting Suzie (apparently permanently), the team finds she overdosed a man with [[Retcon]] so severely, he became psychotic. They find Max and lock him in a cell. He is completely unresponsive except when the word "Torchwood" is said, at which he goes into a ten-second rage.

As Gwen and Suzie proceed towards the hospital, the rest of the team works out that Suzie had created a plan for her to be brought back to life and escape. Ianto connects his cellular phone to the Water Tower to get reception. Having no one else to call, Jack calls [[Kathy Swanson|Swanson]], asking her to get a book of poetry and read the poems to them, trying to reverse the lockdown. After some time, [[Toshiko Sato|Toshiko]] guesses the book's ISBN might be the code, which proves to be correct.

Gwen and Suzie arrive at the hospital where Suzie reveals that Gwen is dying in her place. She disconnects her father from the machines keeping him alive. Knowing the team are nearing, she takes Gwen and drives to [[Hedley Quay]], intending to escape on a ferry. [[Jack Harkness|Jack]] and Owen catch up in the Torchwood SUV. Jack shoots Suzie. She does not die, so Jack shoots her again and again, to no avail. Jack realises the connection is being held by the [[Resurrection gauntlet]]. Jack tells Toshiko to destroy it to break the connection. Suzie tells Jack that "something is moving in the dark and it's coming ... for [Jack]". When Toshiko destroys the glove, Suzie collapses and Gwen begins to recover.

As Ianto and Jack put Suzie's body back into cold storage, Ianto asks what he should put on the death certificate. Jack answers "Death By Torchwood". Ianto suggests putting a lock on the storage unit in case she goes walking again, but Jack says the resurrections are over. Ianto points out that [[Dead Man Walking|gloves come in pairs]].
