Torchwood Miracle Day Episode 10



What... What... What? I'll tell you what... best Torchwood ever, that's what.

Jack, Gwen, Oswald, Rex, and Ester zeroed in on the 'Blessing'. The CIA headquarters gets blown up, and Jack's blood can reverse the blessing, but it has to be introduced into the blessing from both sides at the same time. No problem if Jack's blood that Rex and Ester had been caring around wouldn't have been blown up too. But Rex and Ester are the clever little duo, they transfused Jack's blood into Rex. Of course Ester gets shot in hopes they will not stop the blessing to keep her alive, but Gwen makes a rather moving speech, and Jack and Rex sacrifice themselves to bring mortality back to Earth. Guess what? They both live, and Oswald plays the hero and blows himself up along with one of the heads of the three families. Rex takes out another before collapsing. Unfortunately Gwen's father dies, and so does Ester. Yes, just as Gwen so elegantly said: "Death has come back."

After Ester's funeral the team talk about if they are going to keep Torchwood together, but before the question is answered Rex receives a text revealing the identity of the mole. When he tries to stop her, she shoots Rex in the chest, and then is shot down herself. Jack and Gwen comfort Rex as he dies in their arms, but just as Jack says that he is gone, Rex takes in a deep breath (much like Jack). Yep, that's right. Looks like Jack isn't the only immortal on Earth any more. The show ends with Rex say to Jack: "What did you do to me?"

Well Torchwood fans looks like we might have another season yet.

Torchwood: Miracle Day, Episode 9

Episode 9 opens with Gwen busting into a pharmacy by driving a car through the front window. Why? Meds for her category 1 father that they have hidden away behind a fake wall in their basement. After the police arrive, looking for her father, finding nothing, the story takes an unusual turn. A delivery man arrives at Gwen's home. But it's no ordinary delivery, or delivery man, and here's one I didn't see coming at all. The delivery man is none other that Oswald Danes.


After Gwen beats the crap out of him with a pot for touching her daughter, he tells them he wants to trade information. What he said is enough for Gwen to call Jack, and soon he arrives. Of course as they work things out the police burst in the door once again, only this time they find her father, and take him away to the overflow camp.


After piecing the information from Oswald and the news reels of the stories that he mentioned, all fixed by Jillie, they believe that the Blessing is somewhere in Shanghai, China. But a little more info comes through, and they are forced to look at Buenos Aires, Argentina as well. But it is Gwen's husband, Reece, That puts two and two together. That they are not looking at one point, but two points that are one, Antipodes. It had been staring them in the face the entire time in the Phicorp logo. So the team splits up... Jack, Gwen, and yes Oswald head for China, while Ester and Rex meet in Buenos Aires. As the team heads out Gillie arives in China and is led to her destiny or fate which ever it may be. For the "Blessing" can kill as well as enlighten.

Jack isn't in Shanghai long before his gunshot starts bleeding again. A single drop of blood falls to the floor, unseen by Jack or Gwen, but it's actions draw Oswald's attention quickly. The blood, Jack's blood moves across the floor as if being pulled from a fixed point... The "Blessing" is calling to Jack, or at least his blood.
