Torchwood: Miracle Day Review: The Gathering (S4, E9)

Well its now all coming together in this series so lets get right to it:

SPOILERS!!!!!

2 months after the events of the last episode and with Torchwood now separated, its now going to get harder. Rex continues his work for the CIA (and is now able to move freely in the HQ), Ester and a still wounded but OK Jack become stowaways and head for Scotland in the UK while elsewhere in Scotland, Gwen returns to her family and tries her best to keep her dad safe as the police get suspicious of her activity. Meanwhile, Gillian (Oswald's Agent) has been invited to see the 3 families who made the miracle possible down in Shanghai but under a different name. Oswald also gets into the UK to confront Gwen in her own house but has a change of heart and now wants to help Torchwood with getting rid of the miracle. However the only information he has is on Gillian's laptop which has now erased her off the system making her laptop deadlocked and to believed that she has gone. He also gives the name of a man which Esther believes is not a man but a process being used throughout time. the rest of Torchwood (except Rex who is still in the USA) meet at Gwen's house to discuss about the next step in the mission. However they are interrupted by the police who use special technology to take Gwen's father away which then has Gwen wanting to stop the miracle more than ever. Rhys then mentions that a connection between Shanghai and Buenos which could be the areas that connect the blessing and the miracle together. With that in mind, Jack, Oswald and Gwen head to Shanghai (as stowaways because the whole area has been blocked off) while Esther and Rex (who has managed to get time off from the CIA to do this) head for Buenos to finish this once and for all. Meanwhile Gillian meets a member of the family who gives her directions on where to go to so that she meets the 3 families. She then later meets a woman who calls her by her own name as she felt that a different name is "what the boys like doing". She takes Gillian to a crack inside the Earth which is what the blessing is. Oswald then sees Jack's blood going towards the blessing which Gwen suspects that Jack is connected to this somehow.

With the show nearly coming to a close, it seems that everything is in place and more of which will be told next time. Getting better by the minute. 9/10
