The second season kicked off with the Torchwood team battling the rogue Time Agent from Captain Jack's past.

Taking Captain Jack prisoner, Captain Hart sends him back in time for a long overdue reunion. Without their leader, Torchwood are faced with a city flooded with Weevils, on the brink of destruction. But who is Captain John really working for? Can anyone trust him? And how great a price must Torchwood pay to save the city?
Before the season finale, the Torchwood team faces horrific Night Travellers, Gwen (Eve Myles) discovers a darker side of Torchwood and it's revealed how each member was recruited to the team.
