On the way back to Torchwood, Jack explains to Gwen that the fairies are creatures from the dawn of time and are not bound by linear [[time]]. He says that the fairies can be very dangerous. Jack instructs [[Toshiko Sato|Toshiko]] to watch for strange weather patterns in the area in order to locate the creatures. | On the way back to Torchwood, Jack explains to Gwen that the fairies are creatures from the dawn of time and are not bound by linear [[time]].

Meanwhile, a young girl, [[Jasmine Pierce]], decides to walk home from [[school]] alone as her mother's boyfriend, [[Roy (Small Worlds)|Roy]], did not arrive on time to pick her up. She encounters a man, [[Mark Goodson]], who tries to lure her into his [[car]]. When Goodson makes a grab for Jasmine, a strong wind kicks up, accompanied by strange, ethereal voices. Goodson retreats into his car while Jasmine continues to skip home to play with her fairy friends in the nearby woods. | Meanwhile, a young girl, [[Jasmine Pierce]], decides to walk home from [[school]] alone as her mother's boyfriend, [[Roy (Small Worlds)|Roy]], did not arrive on time to pick her up.

Later, a tense Goodson, still hearing the voices, stumbles through the [[Cardiff]] market, stalked by something unseen by the other shoppers. Something strikes at him and he starts to cough up rose petals. He gets himself arrested to seek the safety of a jail cell, which apparently makes the creatures leave him alone. That night, however, he hears wings buzzing as he tries to sleep and, rolling over, screams as the same hostile creature from the woods lunges at him... He is found the next day, dead by [[asphyxiation]], but with no external evidence of strangulation and the CCTV shows only him in his death throes; no sign of the creature. The baffled police summon Torchwood, who find Goodson's mouth filled with rose petals. Jack confirms that Goodson was killed by the fairies as part of their protection of a "[[Chosen One]]", a child who will soon become one of them if Torchwood cannot find her in time. Finding the Chosen One is the only advantage they have over the fairies, who cannot be fought in any other way. They cannot be trapped or killed, and have control over the elements themselves; but the Chosen Ones are important to them. | Later, a tense Goodson, still hearing the voices, stumbles through the [[Cardiff]] market, stalked by something unseen by the other shoppers.
