Yvonne and Jack are organizing the Torchwood vault, and Yvonne advises Jack that he talk to Ng, who he has been avoiding like the plague since Gwen left. Orr and Ng hear a strange noise, and then Yvonne recieves a voicemail from Andy, saying the city has gone blind, and there are car crashes and panic.
Yvonne makes her way to Ng and Orr in the center of the Hub, where Orr has determined the entire city is blind. Jack brings her a pair of Night-Vision goggles, and she's called by Andy, chased by a paranoid mob that believes the police can see. Elsewhere a woman taking her baby through the city on a stroller is killed by a monster who echoes the sound around her. There's a barrier of darkness surrounding the city and as some people try to push through, they are killed by the creature. In the hub, Jack has the goggles working, and Yvonne goes out searching for Andy when Ng notices the sound at her station is echoing. Orr grows razor sharp teeth because of...something nearby them. Colin is lost and stuck inside a Church, and calls Jack, and Jack goes after him, feeling he owes him for Colchester's death. Orr is growing the creatures' urges as well, and tells Ng to run. Ng senses someone elses' presence, God is standing nearby in the dark, silently. Ng begs to not be left alone. Jack rescues Colin from the Church, where the crowd attacks him. Jack helps him escape but his goggles break. Yvonne and Andy determine the creature is responsible for the darkness, and is using that to make it's hunt easier. Jack and Colin get to Ritz Tower, Colin's home, where Jack reveals that he got them there, using nothing but his sense of direction. Yvonne and Andy, in a car, find the creature, which is made of such darkness it cannot be seen with the goggles. She directs Andy to shoot it through the Car window, but he cannot see. They switch between the googles while driving so Andy can shoot the creature and so Yvonne can drive. Yvonne and Andy break and enter into an electronics shop and find strobe lighting. In Bute Park, the creature confuses the people with sound and begins devouring them. Andy realises that Yvonne used him to put the people there as bait. Jack stays with Colin. Yvonne uses unwitting Andy as bait, and kills the creature, ending the darkness. Jack tells Colin he thinks he has become mortal again since Colchester's death. Andy convinces Yvonne to have a moment of vulnerability, and she takes off her goggles and is just like everyone else. She kisses him. Meanwhile, Colin and Jack begin kissing as well, when Mr. Colchester appears, yelling, "HARKNESS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY HUSBAND?!?!"

* DarkIsEvil: Andy insists it's not as such, but the general reaction the city has to the darkness is that of chaos and dissaray.

* NothingIsScarier: SOMETHING is making noises in the dark, and drawing people into their deaths.

* AbsurdPhobia: Yvonne Hartman - the most professional and scary woman in Torchwood...is afraid of the dark. Although in this particular case, it might be justified.

* BecomingTheMask: Because of Orr's empathic abilities and as a psychomorph, they become what the monster fancies. Which incidentally gives them much of the monster's feral instincts.

* SuperSenses: The Creature hunting in the dark hunts with echolocation and by drawing the blind in with repeating the nearby noises.

* MamaBear: A woman is drawn in by the crying of her child, echoed by the creature, yelling that nobody better hurt their child. (Not realizing it is the creature, they are eaten alive. YMMV)
