While at a bar with Tosh, Tommy discusses his girlfriend in [[1916]], how the war changed him, and then comments that he and Tosh would make a good couple. After ordering a drink, he sees news footage of the [[Iraq]] war and comments that there always seems to be a war going on. He questions if the [[human]] race is worth saving, and Tosh answers yes. He then feels a spark of psychic trauma from the St. Teilo's time shift. On a boardwalk, he kisses her, but receives mixed signals from Tosh, who tells him that she is a bit older. They kiss again and head back to the cryogenic chamber, only for Jack to call her to tell them that Tommy's time has come.

Jack calls a meeting, saying that the demolition of the building is pulling 1918 into the present-day. The team head back to the hospital. Owen and Tosh place rift monitors throughout the hospital, and Owen warns Tosh that she and Tommy have become too close. Gwen calls, reporting a detail from the report: "Through a hole in the external wall, we hear the roar of great engines. Outside is a woman in strange armour, ripping a [[Union Jack]], perhaps some future heroine of the Empire." Gwen believes that this might mean that the catastrophe isn't happening now, but Owen realises that the roar is traffic, the woman is a painting, and that the Union Jack is a building from just outside.

At the Hub, Jack sees the box open, and he reads through the papers inside, finding that they are instructions for Tommy and Tosh. He reveals that in 12 hours, there will be a brief shift, allowing both 1918 and the 21st century to exist at the same time. Jack says that Tommy will step through the fracture into 1918 and will be trapped there forever. He gives him a rift manipulator, which will close the fracture behind him. Jack takes Tosh to his office and reveals to Tosh that Tommy will be shot by a firing march (with 1918 thoughts) because of shellshock or "cowardice." Tosh protests, but Jack says that she must. Ianto gives Tommy the same clothes that he was wearing when he stepped through the rift. Tosh was also here, telling Tommy what to do.
