[[John Frobisher]] is ordered by the Prime Minister to publicly state that his own children will be taken for "inoculation," to portray themselves as much victims as the public and to make the 456 the true villains. Frobisher threatens to reveal to the press the true nature of the inoculations. [[Brian Green|Green]] persuades him not to, noting that Frobisher's children would know their fate. Frobisher decides to [[murder]] his family and commit [[suicide]].

[[Bridget Spears]] visits [[Lois Habiba]] in [[prison]], where she is being held on charges of [[espionage]]. She tells Lois that "John Frobisher was a good man and it wasn't his fault, nor will history remember him this way". Spears takes the [[Torchwood contact lenses]] to record evidence against Green.

[[Rhiannon Davies]] and [[Johnny Davies|Johnny]], told by [[Ianto Jones|Jones]] that the government is lying, keep their "creche" service running for the local estate. Gwen, [[Rhys Williams|Rhys]] and [[Andy Davidson]] arrive to tell them of Ianto's death and warn them special forces will soon arrive to take the children. Gwen also tells Rhys that she has decided to get an abortion, as she doesn't want to bring a child into this kind of world. As Gwen, Rhys and Rhiannon prepare to help the children escape, Johnny goes to stop the soldiers. He warns a nearby crowd of fathers they'll never see their kids again. They begin attacking the army. After downing a few soldiers, the gang are rounded up. Andy tries to call his superiors to learn what is happening. He watches as soldiers break into people's houses and take children away. Realising that what the soldiers are doing is wrong, Andy removes his police jacket and tie and one by one punches the soldiers to the ground. He is soon forced to the ground and a baton is placed round his neck to keep him there.

Jack, with the help of Dekker and Johnson, devises a way to defeat the 456 using a [[reconstitution wave]] of the same wavelength the 456 used to kill [[Clem McDonald|Clem]], using the children as one vast transmitter. [[Dekker|Mr Dekker]] tells him that for it to work, the wave needs to be sent via one child, who will "fry". They only have one child available to them: [[Steven Carter|Steven]].

Ignoring his feelings and [[Alice Carter|his own daughter's]] protests, Jack uses his grandson as the prime transmitter. Alice tries to tell Steven to escape. Steven, still thinking that Jack is his uncle, does not run but asks Jack what he is doing. Jack ignores the question and transmits the signal. Oduya is shown with the 456 as it smacks the tank edges, screeching. [[Blood]] appears. There is an explosion of blood and the tank fills with bright light. The beam of fire appears and moves up through the sky, vanishing. Steven, as predicted, is killed.
