Jack surmises that she is an alien " sleeper agent", yet to be activated by its controller and given the belief it is human through memory transplants.Īt the same time Torchwood discovers this, other sleeper agents are awakened by a signal, dropping whatever they were doing and setting off for assigned targets and killing those that got in their way. Jack suspects there is more to Beth than she lets on, and orders her to undergo a mind probe.Īfter numerous evaluations under the probe, they suddenly discover alien technology buried under Beth's right forearm, allowing it to transform into a bladed weapon that matches the injuries on the burglars she herself is shocked by its presence. When they return to the Hub and place Beth in one of the cells, a nearby Weevil cowers at Beth's presence. They suspect Beth is responsible, though she has no recollection of the events, but willingly goes with the team. Torchwood is called to investigate fatal injuries sustained by two burglars in the failed attempt to rob a flat owned by Beth Halloran and her husband. In the episode, an alien sleeper cell with false memories attacks strategic targets in Cardiff to prepare the Earth for invasion. A specially edited pre-watershed repeat was shown the following day.
