S02E02: 'Sleeper'
Here's a few spoilers about the best Torchwood episode to date, a tale packed with horror, paranoia, pathos and an overwhelming sense of mystery. See if you can suss out the red herring spoiler from the following facts about 'Sleeper'. We won't give too much away this week, as certain elements of the story are best not known in advance.

A seemingly normal woman called Beth is at the centre of the bizarre slaughter of a couple of burglars.

A lot of savage things happen to the right forearms of certain people.

Jack unleashes his new chat up line: "You should come round to my house for a game of hockey sometime."

One of the characters utters the immortal line: "It's just a mind probe!"

There is a strong implication that Jack and Ianto have already slept together.

Something horrible happens involving a pram.

Captain Jack encounters a man called Gray, who was his former boss at the now defunct Time Agency and is angry that Jack stole both his money and his wife.

Owen appears to be a fan of Murder, She Wrote. The TV show, not the dodgy Chaka Demus and Pliers song.

A Weevil called Janet appears in the episode.
