Torchwood who is adam

Stricken anew with guilt from having lost his brother, Jack leaves Adam in the rain. At the Torchwood Hub , Tosh has found that the box is made of wood.

Owen asks after the origins of the box, to which Ianto responds that Jack brought it in. However, Tosh insists that Adam found it in an excavation. Ianto leaves to check his diary for the answer. Owen again tries to flirt with Tosh, culminating in a confession of love, but Tosh reacts with anger and scornfully tells Owen he is not her type.

Owen is devastated. Gwen is seen at a general store with Rhys. When they get to the checkout, the cashier leaves to answer a call, despite clearly being able to see Rhys there.

Rhys, angry, begins to go off on a rant, to which Gwen laughs. The outburst reminds her of similar occurrences in their past, and she begins to remember Rhys.

Ianto is flipping through his diary and is shocked to find that it contains no mention of Adam at all. Adam then appears behind him, and Ianto questions who he really is. Adam's hand starts to flicker, and we learn that Adam exists simply from people being able to remember him.

To keep his secret safe, Adam decides to implant in Ianto memories of murdering three women, claiming that he had forgotten about the thrill he gets from doing this. Ianto sinks to the floor, crying. Adam leaves, going to Tosh's flat. To celebrate their anniversary, the pair kiss passionately. Adam briefly stops, asking Tosh how far she'd go to protect him.

After she confirms she would die for him, they resume kissing. Meanwhile, Jack is on a rooftop, pondering why he can suddenly remember the "worst day of his life" despite having buried the memory years ago. He returns to the hub, finding Ianto in a delirious state. Ianto tells him to put him in a vault because he is a monster, confessing that he killed three women.

However, Jack refuses to believe it, even after the "best lie detector on the planet" confirms Ianto is telling the truth. Recalling Adam touching him earlier, he deduces that touch is how he changed their memories.

Jack, checking the records, finds that not only do they lack a blood sample of Adam, but his file was last updated only 24 hours ago. The day lights then switch on as the others arrive. Owen brings in a bouquet of flowers for Tosh, apologising for how he acted yesterday. Tosh forgives him, confirming she is happy with Adam, who sits at his desk. Gwen then arrives, revealing her memories of Rhys are still hazy. To comfort them, Adam insists on a group hug.

Noticing Ianto has not joined them, Adam goes to touch him, but Ianto knocks his hand back. Jack then approaches and holds Adam at gunpoint. Gwen and Owen are confused by this, as they still believe Adam part of the team, and a distraught Tosh pulls her gun on Jack. Ianto grabs her and Jack quickly sends Adam to the cells. Jack and the others go to the meeting room to discuss Adam. After urging them to remember their true memories from before Torchwood — Gwen of Rhys in high school, Owen of his tenth birthday, Tosh her fondness of maths and Ianto recalling his girlfriend Lisa — Jack hands them all amnesia pills to wipe out their memories of Adam.

The only one left, Jack goes to the vaults to have one last talk with Adam. Begging to live, Adam promises to help Jack regain his other, happier memories of his family. Jack agrees, recalling the day he and his father played catch with Gray. However, Adam telepathically implants himself in Jack's revived memory as a stranger who spoiled Jack's day, ruining the happiness of the memory.

Adam discloses the nature of the wooden box, it contains his last good memory, of Jack, Jack's father and Gray. Moreover, Adam claims destroying him will remove all Jack's memories of his father. Distraught at losing the real memory, Jack nevertheless takes an amnesia pill, erasing Adam from existence. The next day, all of the Torchwood team are confused as to why they cannot recall anything from the past 48 hours.

Owen is no longer wearing glasses, and claims that Tosh's flowers could not have come from him as he "doesn't do" flowers or apologies; Tosh has also reverted to her old personality. Jack is seen taking Adam's box out of a Torchwood bag, and a small component also falls out. Ianto comes in and Jack gives him his diary, implying he has looked in it by claiming, "Measuring tapes never lie. Jack, fiddling with the box and the component, manages to open it and finds it to be filled with sand, which he stares at ominously.

Jack, of course, doesn't believe that his boyfriend would suddenly go insane, and he completely thwarts Adam's plans by Adam's locked in the vault while Tosh has a breakdown over losing her boyfriend like that. Jack holds an improvised hynotherapy session to make everyone remember their true selves. Tosh's true self likes maths. Owen's true self had a cold, distant mom. Ianto's true self just wants to be loved by his co-workers.

Gwen's true self loves Rhys With that out of the way, they all take amnesia pills. Adam argues that he didn't harm the Torchwood gang: he made them better , he claims, echoing every fanfiction writer out there.

He makes Jack recall more about Gray, but infiltrates the memories so they include him as well. By erasing Adam, the memories of Gray would get corrupted. Jack decides that it's worth it and swallows his amnesia pill, erasing Adam from existence.

The next day, no one remembers a thing, although they're a bit miffed at having lost two whole days somehow. Jack manages to open a box that the crew had been fiddling around with for a while, and it contains Community Showcase More. He clearly had feelings for Toshiko, as he made her believe they shared an intimate, year-long relationship. Despite claiming he didn't mean any harm, Adam was quite sadistic as shown when he implanted traumatic memories into Ianto of him remorselessly strangling three women to death.

Ultimately, however, this exposed Adam due to Jack's refusal to believe that Ianto was a murderer. Adam survived only by people's memories of him. If he were forgotten, he would fade away. Adam inserted himself into the memories of others through touch. He would place his hand on the target's shoulder and merely say "remember".

Inserting himself into people's memories often wiped out other memories. Presumably, Rhys' memory of Adam was either too minor to sustain him, or did not count as Adam did not insert himself into Rhys' memories himself.

Depending on the memories he implanted, Adam could change the personality of others as he did to Tosh, Owen, and Ianto; making them bolder, kinder and have a mental break down respectively. Adam's implanted memories would be seen as true, to the point of showing as true on a lie detector.
