Reduced to just three, Torchwood continued investigations, including at [[CERN]] on Martha’s request.

In mid-[[2009]], Torchwood Three was called upon by former [[Prime Minister]] [[Harriet Jones]] via [[subwave network]] along with [[Sarah Jane Smith]] and Martha Jones in an effort to contact the Tenth Doctor after Earth was transported into the [[Medusa Cascade]] by [[Davros]], during the [[21st century Dalek invasion|Dalek invasion of 2009]]. Jack, Gwen and Ianto used the [[Rift Manipulator]] in conjunction with Sarah Jane's supercomputer [[Mr Smith]] to amplify the signal of Martha's [[superphone]] to break the signal barrier and reach the Doctor. Jack left the team behind to assist the Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]'') Gwen and Ianto were saved from Dalek extermination by the [[time-lock]] invented by Tosh before she died along with the [[Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor]] blowing up the Dalek fleet's [[dalekanium]] casings on the [[Crucible]]. The two were later called upon by the Doctor himself to help assist his [[TARDIS]] via Rift Manipulator in its effort to carry the Earth back to its regular orbit.

Together the trio helped a half-alien [[Freda|asylum seeker]] sent back in time by Torchwood from [[2069]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Asylum (audio story)|Asylum]]'') and investigated an alien energy field, which they traced to [[Delhi]]. There they discovered that [[Torchwood India]] was still active, led by [[Eleanor (Golden Age)|the Duchess]], having been in a time store since Jack shut them down in [[1926]]. They foiled their plan to turn Earth back to 1926, freezing Torchwood India in time.

After helping repair a [[Keranium]] spacecraft, Torchwood Three faced the outbreak of the [[Good Thinking]] virus in Cardiff. Whilst Jack was infected in the Hub, Ianto used soft light projection to contact [[Norton Folgate]] for information on the original outbreak in the 1950s. After he died, Jack was collected by [[Heights Pharmaceuticals]] and taken to the [[Emergency Response Centre]], being followed by Ianto. They discovered Heights had leaked the virus accidentally and were now vaccinating with [[Provictus]], an improved variant of the virus capable of uploading people’s thoughts to a Data Core. Jack activated a trojan horse in his data, which had been uploaded to the Date Core when he died of Good Thinking, to shut down Provictus whilst Gwen helped distribute a true cure developed from his blood.

Between [[2011]] and [[2017]], former members of Torchwood Three – [[Jack Harkness]] and [[Gwen Cooper]] – continued to operate as [[Torchwood (team)|an informal team]] still using the name "Torchwood", most notably working to stop the event known as [[Miracle Day|the Miracle]], when people all over the world stopped dying. Other members of this unofficial team included CIA agents [[Rex Matheson]] and [[Esther Drummond]], doctor [[Vera Juarez]] and Gwen's husband [[Rhys Williams]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Series 4 (Torchwood)|Miracle Day]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Fallout (audio story)|Fallout]]'') In [[2015]], after stopping the [[The Evolved|Evolved]] experiment at [[Bryn Offa Nursing Home]], Gwen and Rhys decided to officially restart Torchwood.

By [[2017]], Torchwood had officially returned to deal with temporary holes in [[space]] [[time]] which brought through new [[alien]] phenomena in Cardiff despite the apparent closing of the Rift years prior, which they weren't sure was a sign of the Rift reopening or simply the position in Cardiff being vulnerable. At this point, Gwen, who dealt with most of these incursions with assistance from PC [[Andy Davidson]] while Rhys looked after their daughter [[Anwen Williams|Anwen]], approached [[Roger Pugh]], Planning Officer for [[Cardiff City Council]], in order to establish a new Torchwood Cardiff facility which would replace the long-gone Hub. After Gwen had shown Roger a day of her work first hand, he gave her his support. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[More Than This (audio story)|More Than This]]'') Gwen became the acting head of Torchwood Cardiff. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[World Without End (comic story)|World Without End]]'') At some point Jack Harkness returned to his old role as leader and a civil servant, [[St John Colchester]] was assigned to the team to assist with Torchwood's reestablishment.
