Well, just when you think this is going to be a somewhat lighter season, the writers smack you hard in the face. If this episode proves anything, Torchwood's in for a pretty dark year.
After two burglars are brutally assaulted during a theft, Jack believes that the woman they were trying to rob is responsible. Although thuroughly convinced she is not an alien, the woman, Beth, is proven wrong when Torchwood unveils her secret identity as a mechanical sleeper agent. However, with her cover blown, other sleeper agents across Cardiff begin to activate and begin their assault. It comes down to a do or die situation as Jack and the team rush to stop nuclear armaggedon and save Beth's humanity, or what's left of it.
The introduction of the Sleepers was a nice touch to the show, giving Torchwood a formidable foe for the new season. But this episodes heart is Beth, who is trying to regain something she never really had, a normal human life. It was interesting to see Jack and Gwen on opposite sides of this situation. Gwen led the team in Jack's absence so it was exciting to see the two leading officers figure out how to save Beth without killing her.
Who are the Sleepers working for? How many more are left? And could they be connected to the mysterious Gray? Torchwood continues to pile on the questions, leaving me plenty interested and psyched up for more.
