Gideon Lyme meets Norton and begins investigating Torchwood. Meanwhile, the package makes its way to Room 13.
Tropes
- A Day in the Limelight: This episode focuses on Gideon Lyme.
- Deliberate Values Dissonance: Lyme spends most of the episode trying to fight back against some very nasty period-typical racism.
- Festering Fungus: Turns out that the package actually contains an alien lifeform that very strongly resembles a mushroom which lets out spores when Lizbeth disturbs it.
- Take My Hand!: Andy says a version of this when he appears to save Norton from the spores.
