Meanwhile, Jasmine's mother [[Lynn Pierce|Lynn]] and Roy are celebrating five years together with a backyard barbecue party. Jasmine helps her mother with the food, and gives disturbing answers to her mother's questions, when she asked about her about her fairy friends. When Jasmine goes outside, she finds that the backyard has been fenced off by Roy to prevent her from going to the woods. Angry, she bites him. He slaps her and calls her a bitch, which prompts an immediate response from the fairies. The sky begins to turn grey and thunder rumbles, but the party continues. As Roy makes a speech, the fairies reveal themselves in their true form and attack, killing Roy by clogging his throat with petals as punishment for his child abuse. | Meanwhile, Jasmine's mother [[Lynn Pierce|Lynn]] and Roy are celebrating five years together with a backyard barbecue party.

Torchwood arrives in time to prevent harm to other guests, but Jasmine and the fairies race off to the woods. Jack catches up with her and demands that the fairies not take her away.

Admitting he has no other choice, Jack requests a promise that Jasmine will not be harmed. The fairies respond that she [[Immortality|will live forever]].

Gwen, Owen, and Toshiko are evidently disturbed by Jack's concession to the fairies' demands, but all proceed silently. None of them speak a word about what just transpired, afraid to set off a powder keg, but they make little effort to hide their disapproval. Jack notices a few dirty looks from his peers, leaving him to defensively respond, "What else could I do?" | The Torchwood Three crew return to their transport vehicle with tension in the air.
