After a grisly triple murder with the killer leaving “Torchwood“ as a calling card, the team used the resurrection gauntlet on the victims. During their two minutes of revival, one of the victims revealed their killer, [[Max Tresilian|Max]], and that he had been close to Suzie Costello. They resurrected Suzie only for her to seemingly come back for good. She was actually draining life from Gwen, who had been wielding the gauntlet, and had arranged Max’s killings in advance for Torchwood to resurrect her. The team destroyed the gauntlet before the transfer was complete, killing Suzie again and saving Gwen.

In [[December]], Torchwood Three tried to help three travellers from the 1950s, who had been displaced in time on the ''[[Sky Gypsy]]'' by the Rift, adjust to life in 2007.
