After the Rift started returning more and more humans who had previously been taken away in negative rift spikes, Jack arranged for the victims to continue to be transferred to the Flat Holm facility without telling the rest of the team. With the help of Tosh and discrete tip-off from Ianto, Gwen discovered the facility’s existence whilst searching for a [[Jonah Bevan|missing boy]] who it turned out had been taken and then returned, decades older, by the Rift. Jack reluctantly let Gwen take the boy’s mother to meet him however she was horrified by the experience and told Gwen not to do it to anyone else.

After they collaborated on [[Corpse Day]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Corpse Day (audio story)|Corpse Day]]'') Owen began working with Gwen’s former partner PC [[Andy Davidson]] on various investigations, forming an unlikely partnership. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Hope (audio story)|The Hope]], [[The Three Monkeys (audio story)|The Three Monkeys]]'') [[Caite]], an alien of the [[Threshold (species)|Threshold]], became Andy’s girlfriend in an attempt to infiltrate Torchwood to let her people invade through the Rift and ingratiated herself with Owen using her abilities to drain life from other people to revive him briefly, however they pushed it too far and killed an old woman. Owen tried to use Torchwood’s resources to cover it up however Andy continued to be suspicious. Eventually Caite convinced Owen to let her connect her transport device to the Rift Manipulator so she could go back in time and prevent the death, however Owen realised what she was truly doing.

Torchwood Three lost two members of the team during [[Gray (Fragments)|Gray’s]] vengeful crusade against his brother, Jack.
