In [[2007]], the [[Torchwood Three|Torchwood]] team is at a construction site where a skeleton was found. Mary, the prostitute from [[1812]], is there in modern dress looking on amusedly. A strange object is by the skeleton, its function unknown. [[Toshiko Sato|Toshiko]] reveals that the corpse has been dead for 196 years, eleven to eleven and a half months, while [[Owen Harper|Owen]] identifies it as female. All is going well at Torchwood until Owen and [[Gwen Cooper|Gwen]] accidentally kick out the plug to Tosh's [[computer]], screwing up a translation program she's running. | In [[2007]], the [[Torchwood Three|Torchwood]] team is at a construction site where a skeleton was found.

Feeling dejected, Toshiko goes to a [[pub]], where Mary approaches her. Mary reveals she knows about Torchwood and about her. She is a "scavenger" or "collector" of [[alien]] artefacts. Toshiko seems to bond with Mary, and reveals her innermost feelings, despite hundreds of Torchwood protocols disallowing this sort of conversation. Mary offers Toshiko [[Telepathy pendant|a pendant]]. When Toshiko puts it on, she begins to hear people's thoughts. Mary asks her to refine this to her thoughts only, and subconsciously allows her desire to kiss her slip. Shocked, Toshiko rips the pendant off her neck. Mary tells her to keep it. Toshiko says she must show it to the other members of Torchwood, Mary predicts she won't. | Feeling dejected, Toshiko goes to a [[pub]], where Mary approaches her.

The next day, Toshiko goes to the Hub and puts the pendant on. She tells Gwen and Owen she has something to show them, but, upon hearing their thoughts, she changes her mind after learning of their affair. Later, when Ianto offers her some [[coffee]], she hears his thoughts, malevolent and bestial. She hears his pain at the loss of [[Lisa Hallett]]. Visibly upset, she takes off the pendant. | The next day, Toshiko goes to the Hub and puts the pendant on.
