Lizbeth feeds the [[duck]]s with Norton and brings up the amount of the computer's data which is walled off, data which Norton says is corrupt and will be separated by a device which Adam will be giving them. He says that Torchwood is better with Adam as leader. Lizbeth says that something is wrong with Torchwood and that she brought him outside in the hopes that it would clear their minds, also saying that she thinks that it is connected to Norton's boyfriend. However, Norton denies having one. | Lizbeth feeds the [[duck]]s with Norton and brings up the amount of the computer's data which is walled off, data which Norton says is corrupt and will be separated by a device which Adam will be giving them.

''to be | Norton and his boyfriend, Adam, have dinner in a restaurant, which Norton says feels a bit strange. Adam asks him about the people that he works with, claiming that he never talked about work, and hears about Lizbeth's [[paranoia]]. Adam insists that Norton hold his hand on the table, which he is hesitant to do due to his worry about others seeing. | ||
Adam makes a speech to Torchwood, saying that the Kernaz will soon be invading and that they will go to war with them. Lizbeth is suspicious about the attack satellites that Torchwood are building, not believing Adam's claim that they are from forgotten Torchwood India plans. Norton asks Adam about the designs and is told that they were archived due to them being "too ambitious" until he found them. | |||
Lizbeth goes to the [[opera]] with her nephew, Adam, and is brought to tears. She begs Adam to bring an end to her pain. | |||
At work, Lizbeth calls Norton a "nudger", which offends him, and they discuss how strange it is that Torchwood is going to [[war]] for the first time since its founding. They also note that the Kernaz are not in the archive, that the supposed fleet could actually just be [[asteroid]]s and wonder how they were receiving memos about the Kernaz from Rigsby if they did not know about them before finding the ship in Hoxton. When Norton mentions the post boy, Adam, he begins to feel that they have had this conversation before, which Lizbeth agrees with. They surmise that their memories are taken away whenever this happens, hence why Lizbeth has drugged their tea. They are later awoken by their boss, Adam. | |||
Norton wakes up in the boarding house and tells his boyfriend, Adam, that he had two dreams: one in which Adam was not real and one in which he himself was not. | |||
Norton and Lizbeth work on [[Operation Warhead]], building a fleet. Adam says that Torchwood will make all aliens fear them. | |||
Lizbeth asks Norton what day it is and, although initially surprised that she is not aware, realises that he is not sure either. Whilst Lizbeth's desk calendar says that it is [[May]], the [[clerk]]s' wall calendar says that it is [[April]] and [[Torchwood librarian|librarian]]'s desk calendar says [[August]]. They determine that nobody in Torchwood knows what date it is. | |||
