## ***Plot***

The episode begins with Jack, Gwen, Owen, and Tosh playing basketball, allowing a pterodactyl to fly above them with Ianto watching them. Owen is passed the ball where he shoots and scores. The rest of the team, complaining, leaves the Hub, passing Ianto the ball, where he runs and orders pizza when Dr Tanizaki walks into the Hub. Meanwhile, the team are heading to a bar. Ianto goes down the steps and greets Dr Tanizaki in Japanese saying "こんにちは" ("Kon'nichiwa"). He takes his suitcase and leads him to the basement, showing him Lisa Hallett, AKA The Cyberwoman, and kissing her. The Torchwood theme plays. Lisa opens her eyes, and Ianto says that it was a reaction to the medication. To take a closer look, Dr Tanizaki takes out his glasses. Tanizaki states that Lisa is the only Cyberman left. In celebration, Dr Tanizaki shakes Ianto's hand and thanks him. Tanizaki asks out of curiosity what happened. Ianto states that Lisa worked for Torchwood London, but at the end of the Battle of Canary Wharf, the Cybermen were being defeated and needed more soldiers faster, therefore, started upgrading full bodies as opposed to using Earth technology to complete the Cyberman conversion process. Lisa was halfway through the conversion process when the machine shut down, therefore, Ianto pulled her out of the machine. Tanizaki asks for the percentages. Ianto, confused, asks what he means. Tanizaki states that some elements have been augmented and some are still human. he takes the sensory capacity as an example; the hearing and breathing appear cybernetic, but there is also skin exposed on some parts of the body. Tanizaki says he thinks that it is 45/55% or 60/40%. Ianto asked if he can make Lisa human again. Ignoring Ianto, Tanizaki says that he took parts of a Cyber-conversion unit and modified it to be a life support system for her. Lisa says that she told Ianto how to do it. Ianto says that he thought Lisa was resting. He introduces Lisa to Dr Tanizaki and says that he can fix Lisa. Tanizaki introduces himself to Lisa and asks her some questions;

* **What is your name?** Lisa Hallet.
* **How old are you?** 26.
* **What is the last thing you remember before coming here?** Pain. I remember my body burning with pain.

A tear falls out of Lisa's eye. Tanizaki asks if there is anywhere he can work upstairs. He takes Lisa and Tanizaki to the autopsy room. First, Tanizaki makes Lisa able to breathe without her cybernetic respirator. He says that once her body functions without support, he can judge whether more work is needed. Ianto asks, worried, what would happen if she is not ready to breathe on her own? Tanizaki replies simply with, 'be ready to lose her.' Tanizaki adds that we occasionally need to risk losing something we love to save it. Meanwhile, at the bar, Owen's device beeps. The device says that there was a UFO sighting at Cardigan Bay. Back at Torchwood, the experiment is successful and Lisa survives. On the monitor, Ianto witnesses Jack, Owen, Tosh and Gwen come back to the Torchwood headquarters. Ianto assists Dr Tanizaki to bring Lisa back down to the basement. As the Torchwood team enters, Jack orders Tosh to make the radar scan UFOs within a 50-mile radius of Cardigan Bay from the last 6 hours, tells Gwen to check with a man called Neil for talk of UFOs, and for Owen to hack into the RAF flight plans to see if it was just a plane. Ianto walks up the stairs scared. Before he makes his appearance to the team, he straightens his tie and acts normally. Meanwhile, in the basement, Dr Tanizaki successfully brought Lisa down to the basement. Shortly after, Tanizaki is choked by Lisa and put on the conversion table and attempted to be converted into a Cyberman. At the top, Jack asks Ianto to make coffee. Ianto says yes, but the power cuts out. Ianto lies saying that the power cut out often while they were away due to parts of cables coming loose. Ianto then goes to the basement. Ianto runs to the door where Lisa was taken and is horrified by the sight of Dr Tanizaki's dead body. Lisa states that his upgrade failed as Ianto turns off the machine. Ianto then hides the body in a small storage room. Lisa then turns the machine back on. Jack then contacts Ianto via an earpiece and asks what's going on. Ianto ignores him and continues hiding the body. Tosh looks for human heat signals in the basement, only to find 2 as opposed to 1. Owen and Gwen then look downstairs for Ianto.
