This episode starts out as a slow "who-done-it", but picks up as Torchwood discovers Beth's hidden secrets. Beth's humanity shines throughout this episode as does Gwen's ever-present need to be a savior.
Ianto is the most entertaining personality in this episode. Every word he says in this one left me laughing as his sarcasm rose higher and higher. Yet, at the same time, he is still the same caring person, offering Beth some water to help her throughout the "probing" session.
The chase scenes and their climax was exciting, but the end was startling, even though I expected it. Beth showed her true inner strength and her heartbreaking humanity.
The end conversation between Jack and Gwen is a switch. Usually Jack is the reassuring one - here Gwen reassures Jack. Even though they both know the end was not the end, but the beginning.
And any time you have an enemy that makes a Weevil go sit in its corner and cry, that's a good episode.
