* ChekhovsGun / {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: "I found Gray".]]

to:

* ChekhovsGun / {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: "I found Gray".]]BarBrawl: Capt. Jack Harkness and Capt. John Hart get into a fight in a pub. Incidentally, it was combined with KissKissSlap, and thus was preceded by a snogfest between the two of them.


Added DiffLines:

* ExactWords: Hart was right when he said that his search for the diamond came from a "dying woman's wish". The woman was dying by his hand.


Added DiffLines:

* HumanShield: Jack Harkness makes his re-introduction by shooting a "blowfish"-like alien who was using a shield as a human.


Added DiffLines:

* PlotCoupons: The Torchwood team are forced to find three canisters for John Hart, as he claims them to be deadly radiation bombs that could wipe out the planet. In truth, they're actually three pieces of a device that would lead John to the location of an Arcadian Diamond. Or so John thinks - the pieces actually form a bomb that latches on to him.
* PopTheTires: In pursuit of a car being driven by a Blowfish, Owen uses the opportunity to shoot out the wheels, forcing the Blowfish to abandon the car.


Added DiffLines:

* SeeYouInHell: The hologram projection of the owner of the Arcadian Diamond ends her message with "See you in Hell" after latching a bomb onto John, the man who killed her real life counterpart.
* SequelHook: Hart leaves Cardiff, but not before telling Jack that he's found someone called Grey, who ends up becoming important in later episodes.


Added DiffLines:

* SwallowTheKey: Hart handcuffs himself to Gwen and swallows the necessary key for it to force the others into saving him. When all is said and done, he reveals that he kept the key in the lining of his throat and promptly swallows it back up.
* WhyAmITicking: Hart is forcefully placed with a bomb which latches on to his DNA, giving him 10 minutes before he dies.

John makes a [[IncomingHam dramatic entrance]] and calls Jack. They make out, punch each other and reminisce about the past. John needs Torchwood to help him gather a series of PlotCoupon canisters. While searching for the things, Jack asks Ianto out on a date -- dinner and a movie. Ianto happily agrees.

Turns out they were partners (in every sense) before both left the [[TimePolice Time Agency]]. John needs Torchwood to help him gather a series of PlotCoupon canisters.
