Gwen heads to admin, demanding the release of her father. A military officer suggests she fill in a claims form. Andy supports her by fabricating a story about her father being removed under [[police]] authority. Told the camp is not under the Welsh police, she is handed a package titled "Overflow Camp Health Care Provider Framework". Gwen turns this over to see PhiCorp's logo. Under threat of arrest, Gwen, Andy and Rhys leave Cowbridge. Gwen, infuriated at the red tape stopping her after everything she's done with [[Torchwood Three]], tells Rhys, "We're gonna break in here, we're gonna find my father and we're gonna get him out — tonight." | Gwen heads to admin, demanding the release of her father.

There's a Miracle Rally later that night. | ||
Back at the makeshift Torchwood "hub", Vera tells off Rex and explains she flew across the country to support her patients who are now being held against their will in the overflow camps. They smile and kiss. | Back at the makeshift Torchwood "hub", Vera tells off Rex and explains she flew across the country to support her patients who are now being held against their will in the overflow camps.

* Vera's death in this episode is very similar to that of previous Torchwood medic [[Owen Harper]]'s death [[Exit Wounds (TV story)|two years before]]. Both Owen and Vera were trapped in a state of "immortality", Owen being undead and Vera undying. Both had bullet wounds in their upper torsos. Both were vaporised trying to save other people: Owen was killed by coolant while trying to stop a nuclear meltdown, and Vera by an incinerator while trying to save category one patients. Each had a love interest, also suffering from mortal wounds to the chest, witness their deaths through an electronic device. [[Toshiko Sato]] was suffering from a bullet wound to the abdomen and saw the room Owen was in flooded with coolant on a computer monitor, while Rex had a hole in his chest and saw Vera burn through the glass in the door and through his video camera. However, whereas Rex survived his deadly wounds, Toshiko would not, nor was she physically present to see Owen die. | * Vera's death in this episode is very similar to that of previous Torchwood medic [[Owen Harper]]'s death [[Exit Wounds (TV story)|two years before]].
