Captain John Hart sets off Rift events and massive explosions all across Cardiff, forcing the Torchwood team to split up to handle the crisis. While Gwen deals with a police force in chaos and Owen attempts to avert meltdown at a nuclear reactor, Jack confronts John, only to learn that he is being manipulated by Jack's brother, Gray. Having been tortured for years by a sadistic alien race, Gray blames Jack for his fate - and now desires nothing more than to destroy everything Jack holds dear.

Executive producers:

  • Russell T. Davies
  • Julie Gardner

Length: 50 minutes

Andy, Gwen's former partner on the police force, asks her to look into the disappearance of a teenaged boy named Jonah some months earlier, whom surveillance footage depicts as abruptly vanishing into thin air. Soon, however, Gwen discovers that Jonah is part of an epidemic of missing persons in the Cardiff area. With Toshiko's help, she determines that the Rift may lie at the centre of the problem - but Jack is strangely adamant that Gwen abandon her investigation.

2.10 From Out of the Rain

Written by Peter J. Hammond
Directed by Jonathan Fox Bassett
Produced by Richard Stokes/Chris Chibnall
Executive Producers:
  • Russell T Davies
  • Julie Gardner
Length: 50 minutes

Ianto, Gwen and Owen are in the audience at a classic movie theatre when the film seemingly takes on a life of its own, repeatedly playing clips of an eerie carnival show from the early twentieth century. Before the projector can be switched off, two figures from the reel actually step off the screen and escape into the real world. Jack recognises them as sinister figures he's encountered before: the Night Travellers, who have the power to literally drain the breath from a person's body.

The night before her wedding, Gwen suffers a bite from a man-eating, shape-shifting Nostrovite before Jack manages to kill it. The next morning, she wakes up to find herself pregnant - very pregnant.

But what she doesn't realise is that the Nostrovite has a mate, and it's intent on recovering its spawn from Gwen's belly.
