Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

This page lists appearances of Yvonne Hartman, and her counterpart from Pete's World, in the order in which they experienced them. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline. It is assumed that for each novel, comic, audio or television series, their published, broadcast or numbered order is the order they occur in.

Coming out of hiding[]

Leading Torchwood[]

Yvonne meets Andy Davidson for the first time, and asks him to dinner.
Jack has become the new leader of Red Doors, but the organisation is destroyed by the combined efforts of Torchwood and 3Sol. However, a bomb they had planted beforehand causes the Rift to reopen. Another explosion occurs that the Sorvix see as a sign of God's arrival.
Set a few days after Herald of the Dawn. The Herald takes on the name "Ng", and is imprisoned in the Hub with Ro-Jedda by Yvonne. Torchwood destroys a plasmic psychovore that they believe to be the Sorvix's God. Yvonne kills Ro-Jedda after the Sorvix abandon Earth, resulting in the end of 3Sol, and releases Ng.

Norton has been in Cardiff for "weeks" since his arrival at the end of Night Watch, and the events of The Empty Hand took place "last year". Andy discovers Yvonne's allegiance to the Committee.
As the Committee cause the Sorvix power station to explode, a tsunami strikes Cardiff while Tyler and Yvonne are still in the Hub.

Jack, Yvonne and God are all arrested by Andy, leading directly into Thoughts and Prayers.
Andy reveals he has been acting as a spy for Jack in the Disaster Recovery Committee. Following Jack and God's instructions, Yvonne and Orr destroy the Committee and their home planet with the Lens from Flight 405 before they can use their Rift Manipulator to bring their final form to Earth, though the Hub is destroyed as a result. Blamed for the whole disaster by the remnants of the Committee, Torchwood Three goes on the run, except for Yvonne, who is arrested again by Andy.
