Set not long after the events of {{TW|Sleeper}}, Ianto notices an attractive coffee saleswoman who introduces herself as [[Mairwyn]], a time-traveller who has come to manipulate Ianto into travelling back in time and acquiring some vital technology from [[Torchwood One]] with which she can enslave the world. She has chosen Ianto because of his access to Torchwood One security and because, with the knowledge of [[Torchwood Three]]'s destruction (cf. [[456 incident]], {{TW|Children of Earth: Day One}}), [[Toshiko Sato|Tosh]] and [[Owen Harper|Owen]]'s deaths ({{TW|Exit Wounds}}) Ianto's own demise ({{TW|Children of Earth: Day Four}}), and [[Jack Harkness|Jack]]'s abandonment of Earth ({{TW| | Set not long after the events of {{TW|Sleeper}}, Ianto notices an attractive coffee saleswoman who introduces herself as [[Mairwyn]], a time-traveller who has come to manipulate Ianto into travelling back in time and acquiring some vital technology from [[Torchwood One]] with which she can enslave the world.

He is visited later by [[Rhys Williams]] and [[John Hart]], who have travelled from the future to stop Mairwyn, who knew John Hart by the name "Beatrice" and stole a [[vortex manipulator]] from him. | ||
Despite this, when Mairwyn next drops by Ianto, she uses a device to show him his future and comments to him that Captain Jack is not a loyal lover, and is a heartbreaker, and won't take very long to get over Ianto's death. Ianto is later seen viewing Hub CCTV footage of Jack's attempt to romance Gwen in [[TW]]: ''[[Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang]]'', where he discovers her engagement, not long before Jack formally asked Ianto out. Jack comments "I don't know what I'd do without you" when he recommends Ianto get on with his computer work; his wonted coldness leaving Ianto visibly upset. When Mairwyn next appears to Ianto, he immediately kisses her, and takes her home and has sex with her. When he uses her device again to see the future he would be responsible for creating, he refuses her original offer and eventually knifes her. After saying goodbye to John and Rhys, he sends his sister [[Rhiannon Davies]] an uncharacteristically friendly email saying he loves her before [[retcon]]ning himself. The timeline restored, we see Gwen and Jack at Ianto's funeral, watched from afar by Captain John. Further afar are alternate universe doppelgängers of Ianto and Mairwyn; Ianto comments "I can't believe there's a reality where I said no." | Despite this, when Mairwyn next drops by Ianto, she uses a device to show him his future and comments to him that Captain Jack is not a loyal lover, and is a heartbreaker, and won't take very long to get over Ianto's death.
