Later, a tense Goodson, still hearing the voices, stumbles through the [[Cardiff]] market, stalked by something unseen by the other shoppers. Something strikes at him and he starts to cough up rose petals. He gets himself arrested to seek the safety of a jail cell, where he admits to his paedophilia to the police officers at the station, hoping that the creatures will leave him alone. That night, however, he hears wings buzzing as he tries to sleep and, rolling over, screams as the same hostile creature from the woods lunges at him... He is found the next day, dead by [[asphyxiation]], but with no external evidence of strangulation and the CCTV shows only him in his death throes; no sign of the creature. The baffled police summon Torchwood, who find Goodson's mouth filled with [[blood]] soaked rose petals. Jack confirms that Goodson was killed by the fairies as part of their protection of a "[[Chosen One]]", a child who will soon become one of them if Torchwood cannot find her in time. Finding the Chosen One is the only advantage they have over the fairies, who cannot be fought in any other way. They cannot be trapped or killed, and have control over the elements themselves; but the Chosen Ones are important to them. | Later, a tense Goodson, still hearing the voices, stumbles through the [[Cardiff]] market, stalked by something unseen by the other shoppers.

Late at night, Estelle hears the strange voices after attempting to communicate with the fairies using [[crystal]]s, and realises that bad fairies are present. She calls Jack to alert him. However, before Torchwood can arrive, she [[drown]]s in a [[rain]]storm although everything around her is completely dry, as she went outside to find her [[cat]] [[Moses]], who hid under the bushes as she drowned. Jack mourns her loss, and Gwen makes him admit that it was he who had a relationship with Estelle long ago. Jack explains that he has seen the rose petals before, on a train in [[Lahore]] in [[1909]]. Some of his troops had drunkenly run over a little girl. A week later, all of his men died, their mouths stuffed with petals, and he realised that the young girl had been a Chosen One. Gwen returns home to find her own [[flat]] in disarray and seriously vandalised, with [[leaves]] and [[rock]] patterns on the floor. The team understand that the fairies are becoming more protective and aggressive, warning Torchwood not to interfere in their affairs. | Late at night, Estelle hears the strange voices after attempting to communicate with the fairies using [[crystal]]s, and realises that bad fairies are present.

At her [[Coed y Garreg Primary School|school]] the next day, Jasmine is bullied by [[Bullies (Small Worlds)|two girls]] and the fairies come to her defence, making a huge gale sweep up around the bullies and sending all the other children fleeing in terror, apart from Jasmine, who watches in glee. Her teacher [[Kate (Small Worlds)|Kate]] manages to push through the gale and grab the girls, making the fairies cease their assault. Torchwood arrives to find the school closing for the day and interrogate Jasmine's teacher. Kate says that no-one was harmed, but the only one not affected by the storm was Jasmine. | At her [[Coed y Garreg Primary School|school]] the next day, Jasmine is bullied by [[Bullies (Small Worlds)|two girls]] and the fairies come to her defence, making a huge gale sweep up around the bullies and sending all the other children fleeing in terror, apart from Jasmine, who watches in glee.
