'''''Combat''''' was the eleventh episode in the [[Series 1 (Torchwood)|first series]] of ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]''. It was written by [[Noel Clarke]] and directed by [[Andy Goddard]].

It principally featured [[Owen Harper]] and significantly developed the mythos surrounding the [[Weevil]]s. Indeed, this episode established that Owen had a unique relationship with Weevils — something that would be explored further in [[series 2 (Torchwood)|series 2]] and stories in other media.

Still wallowing from the end of his relationship with [[Diane Holmes]], Owen fell into depression. Likewise, [[Gwen Cooper]] had grown sick of her affair with him after this change in personality and the buildup of guilt toward cheating on [[Rhys Williams]]. It was in this episode that she called off the affair and tried to right things with her boyfriend in a "dress rehearsal" speech, where she confessed to Rhys all her goings-on with Owen, only to supply him with [[Retcon]] so he would remain in the dark. Instead of forgiving her, he reacted maliciously, causing her great pain so much so that she is seen to cry in [[the Hub]] in a very personal scene.


Written by Noel Clarke, it was, {{as of|2019|lc=y}}, the only ''Doctor Who''-related television episode to be penned by an actor who portrayed a major DWU character.
