* PredatoryBigPharma: Torchwood investigates a biomedical research facility called the Pharm, who are secretly abducting and experimenting on aliens from the Rift to fuel their research and have caused several deaths, by using "volunteers" as hosts for a drug that contained a deadly alien parasite as well as hiring an assassin to silence their volunteers. Captain Jack is revolted by the Pharm's mistreatment of the aliens, saying there's a fine line between policing hostile aliens and forcibly using them as lab rats without ethics, so he uses cyberterrorism to wipe out the company and MercyKill their test subjects.

Added DiffLines:

* TouchedByVorlons: Martha is better able to survive the Mayfly gestation process because exposure to Artron energy in the space-time vortex has caused her immune system to mutate. Which finally, after more than 40 years of ''Series/DoctorWho'', explains why companions aren't all the time falling prey to alien and extemporal diseases.

Martha is welcomed warmly by Torchwood. She catches up with Jack regarding the events of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E13LastOfTheTimeLords the lost year]] and tells him that her family is gradually recovering from the trauma. She also befriends Gwen, asks Ianto what Jack is like in bed ("innovative... bordering on the avant-garde"), virtually ignores Tosh and flirts with Owen. Jack and Martha [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E12TheSoundOfDrums once again share a moment]] about the Doctor apparently being oblivious to them.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Jack will flirt with ''literally anything that moves'', but not Martha. This isn't because he doesn't find her attractive - he does - but because, after ''everything'' they've been through together, Martha has ''earned'' his respect and deserves better.
