With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Torchwood must decide how far they are willing to go to stop the aliens and save humanity. While Jack struggles with the moral implications of taking extreme measures to achieve their goal, Gwen and Ianto discover a way to communicate directly with the aliens in hopes of reaching a peaceful resolution.
Meanwhile, the villains of the season - the government officials who are collaborating with the aliens - become increasingly desperate as the situation spirals out of their control. As the truth about their involvement in the conspiracy comes to light, the public turns against them and they become increasingly erratic and dangerous.
