Opening the rift has had major consequences for the people of Cardiff and the world. A Roman soldier suddenly appears, as does a 14th century woman with the Black Death. Some of the Torchwood team see loved ones. Tosh sees an image of her mother who gives her a warning. Diane Holmes reappears and begs Owen to bring her back and Ianto sees his girlfriend. There are more Weevils on the loose. In this madness, Gwen sees Bilis Manger, whom some had seen at the abandoned dance hall. He owns a shop in the present day but is clearly serving some other purpose which only Jack Harkness can fight.
