Suzie committed a series of murders with an alien artefact, the [[Life knife]], in order to test out the [[Resurrection gauntlet]]. She committed suicide when her activities were discovered.

In [[December]], Torchwood Three tried to help three travellers from the 1950s, who had been displaced in time on the ''[[Sky Gypsy]]'' by the Rift, adjust to life in 2007. Ultimately one decided to commit suicide and another took off in the ''Sky Gypsy'' again in hopes of travelling back through the Rift, breaking Owen‘s heart as he’d fallen for her. ([[TV]]: ''[[Out of Time (TV story)|Out of Time]]'') A few weeks later, Torchwood Three shut down a Weevil fighting ring.

When Tosh and Jack were transported to [[1941]] Cardiff by the machinations of [[Bilis Manger]], Owen, out of desperation, used the manipulator and Tosh's Rift equations to return them, even shooting Ianto in the shoulder to stop him getting in the way. ([[TV]]: ''[[Captain Jack Harkness (TV story)|Captain Jack Harkness]]'') This would have wide-ranging consequences, as the use of the Manipulator made the Rift splinter and caused temporal shifts to occur all over Cardiff and the [[Earth]]. After a series of visions by Bilis, the team revolted against Jack and decided to open the Rift fully to end the crisis. Jack still refused to yield so Owen shot and killed him.

Opening the Rift released the ancient [[demon]] [[Abaddon]], briefly causing havoc in central Cardiff. Jack revived, revealing his immortality to the team, and defeated Abaddon by overloading him with his lifespan. After some weeks, Jack revived and reconciled with the team. ([[TV]]: ''[[End of Days (TV story)|End of Days]]'') Shortly afterwards, Jack suddenly and without warning left Torchwood, when the [[Tenth Doctor]] came to refuel [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] at the rift and Jack chased him off-world.

In Jack’s absence, Prime Minister [[The Master|Harold Saxon]] sent Torchwood Three on a "wild goose chase" mission away from [[Great Britain]] to the [[Himalayas]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'') Jack reunited with them after their return to Cardiff, finding that Gwen had taken over as team leader in his absence. Captain [[Captain John Hart|John]], an old colleague of Jack’s, came to Cardiff and embroiled Torchwood Three in a complex scheme.

[[UNIT]] medical officer Dr [[Martha Jones]] came in briefly at Jack’s request in order to provide support. Very shortly after her arrival, Owen died after being shot during the shut down of an [[The Pharm|official research facility]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Reset (TV story)|Reset]]'') He was resurrected but without signs of life via another Resurrection gauntlet, which Jack had assumed would be temporary. This led to a personification of [[Death (Dead Man Walking)|Death]] manifesting through Owen, which he eventually defeated. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dead Man Walking (TV story)|Dead Man Walking]]'') This lead to Dr Jones staying with Torchwood somewhat longer than anticipated whilst Owen recovered from his undeath. Owen returned to duty as the only one who could infiltrate alien collector Henry Parker’s residence, due to him being undead and expelling no heat, to investigate a mysterious energy surge. It transpired the energy surge was simply a harmless alien artefact which was delivering a message. Content Owen was ready to return to work, Martha departed.
