Theory:Torchwood television discontinuity and plot holes/Dead of Night


 * Where did Gwen get the Torchwood contact lenses? Bridget Spears has the pair that she borrowed from work in Children of Earth, and the Hub blew up so she can't really get another pair. Even if she did have more than one pair, why did she just happen to have them with her when they were forced to flee her house in The New World?
 * If she was fleeing her house, surely she would take the only Torchwood tech she still had?
 * After the helicopter crash in Episode 1 we cut to the scene where they are all arrested. In that moment Gwen could've taken the lenses as a precaution. At this point she wasn't fleeing her house.
 * Given the time frome involved, there's also nothing to explicitly say she couldn't have had some contact with Bridget Spears (and/or Lois Habiba) to retrieve the lenses since they were last seen.


 * If the contact lenses are isomorphic, why did they work for Lois in Children of Earth?
 * It's made clear in the episode that Gwen was lying as she wanted to go on the mission. Eves Esther realised she was making it up, sending her a message saying, bluntly "liar!"
