The team arrives at a crime scene at a suburban home. The homeowners were found in their bed, throats slashed. A similar murder happened the previous day, though this crime scene has the word “TORCHWOOD” written in blood on the wall.

There doesn’t seem to be any connection between the vics. In analyzing a sample of the killer’s hair, Tosh finds compound B67 in it. Owen IDs it as retcon, the ingredient used in the amnesia pill Jack gave Gwen in the pilot episode. “A dash of retcon,” he told her. Since retcon isn’t in wide use (really only by Torchwood), the murderer must be someone they gave the amnesia pill to. Gwen suggests they use the Resurrection Gauntlet to ask the vics themselves. Owen’s a little leary because of the glove’s effects on Susie, but Jack relents as the murders are happening because of Torchwood.

Jack tries the glove on the very first vic but with no avail. Gwen tries it on and it instantly responds to her. They get no info from the first vic, but they get info from one of the couple in the house we saw in the opening of the ep. Vic tells them their attacker was named “Max” and that they attended something called “Pilgrim.” The other common factor? Max knew Suzie, the woman Gwen replaced.

Tosh researchs Pilgrim and finds they are a religious support group run by one of the murdered. Torchwood looks into Suzie’s stuff and finds a book of Emily Dicksinson poems and a flyer for Pilgrim. Jack thinks they need to use the Glove on Suzie.

They get Suzie’s body from cryo-storage and try to revive her. Not much luck. Tosh suggests they use the alien knife that Suzie had used to kill people. Jack cuts her with the knife, but nothing. Then he stabs her and she is resurrected. Suzie’s furious they brought her back and even more furious that it is Gwen using the glove. They ask her about the amnesia pill and Max before their standard two minutes is up. Time is running out and Suzie appears to die again. Gwen collapses. Ianto notes that even though she has this ugly knife in her chest, Suzie is just unconscious but very much alive.
