Adam (TV story)

Adam was the fifth episode in the second series of Torchwood.

Plot
Adam has been a member of the team for ages, at least that's what everyone remembers. Adam changes Owen to be less cynical, creates memories for Tosh, memories for Gwen are rewritten and she looses the fine details of Rhys. For Jack the remembering is far more tangible. Adam 'helps' Jack to remember vital memories from his past before forcing him to loose them once more.

Discontinuity, Plot Holes, Errors

 * On the vials containing blood samples from all Torchwood members, some of the names are wrong. When Jack grabs them (after Ianto confesses to being a serial killer), four labels are visible and two have the first and last names reversed. From left to right, they read: "Cooper, Gwen"; "Toshiko, Sato"; "Harper, Owen"; and "Ianto, Jones".
 * Rhys Williams shows no sign of injury following the previous story
 * Although all the members of Torchwood takes Retcon to forget Adam, Rhys Williams does not despite having briefly met Adam.

Continuity

 * Jack first mentioned his home; the Boeshane Peninsula in DW: Last of the Time Lords.
