Jack interrogates Suzie who now has an entry wound at her chin and a big ol’ exit wound at the big of her head. Suzie’s a little bitter but Jack brings her back to the case. He has pictures of all the Pilgrim members, but Suzie notices one is missing --- one Lucy McKenzie, and she works at the Wolf Bar.

Jack, Owen, and Gwen go to the bar while Suzie and Tosh watch from a feed. They keep an eye out for Lucy as well as Max. Owen sees someone who looks like Max, but it’s not him. Suzie eyes Max and warns Gwen just as he’s about to knife Gwen, but Jack comes to the rescue and stuns the guy down to the ground.

Jailed at Torchwood near the Weevil, Max chants “Torchwood” as he goes into a flight of rage now and again. Jack asks Suzie about Max and finds out that Suzie had given him the amnesia pill every time she talked to him – once a week for two years. She had no one to turn to, no one to talk to about their secret job, so she talked to Max and made him forget about it as soon as she told him. The amount she had given him over the years pretty much caused Max to OD on retcon.

Later, Suzie and Gwen are talking and Suzie finds that Gwen has replaced her in every aspect, even sleeping with Owen. She tells Gwen of her dying father who has cancer and Gwen decides to help her leave Torchwood so she can visit him.

Owen shows Jack an analysis of images he captured when Gwen used the glove. Looks like the connection between Gwen and Suzie remained open and energy is draining from Gwen into Suzie still. Jack goes to get Gwen but finds the two gone. As they about to go to search for them the Hub is put into lockdown.

Back down at the cell, Max is reciting a line from Dickinson’s poem “Because I Could Not Stop for Death.” Jack thinks Suzie masterminded this long before she died. Once killed, Suzie would no longer see Max and without her giving him a trigger word would cause Max to go all postal, forcing Torchwood to track him down. Max was a setup, the big master plan was for Suzie to be resurrected and for her to escape.
