{{work|wppage=Adam (Torchwood)}}
The team has an uneventful day as [[The Last of These Is Not Like the Others|Gwen, Ianto, Jack, Owen, Toshiko, and Adam]] pass their time in the Hub.
Wait, what?
There's a new guy in the opening sequence, and his name is Adam. This handsome villain's main power is to make everyone around him [[Remember the New Guy?]]. He can also change their personalities, and turns Torchwood into a self-insert fanfic: Jack becomes his new best friend, Toshiko his sexy, snarky girlfriend, and Owen becomes a nervous, mousey office dork with a crush on Tosh. (Ianto just sort of hangs back.)
By planting new memories, Adam also erases old ones, and Gwen forgets ever having met Rhys. This instantly backfires on Adam, because, you know, Gwen lives with Rhys. The team quickly figure out that something's very wrong when Gwen calls to say there's a half-naked burglar in her house.
Line 24:
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: Tosh, as reinterpreted by Adam, is a confident sex maniac.
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Jack uses this on everyone (himself included). {{spoiler|Adam can only survive by putting memories of himself in other people, so he has everyone take amnesia pills to erase the guy from everyone's memories.}}
* [[Mind Rape]]: Adam does this to {{spoiler|Ianto by implanting a false memory of him killing three women.}} He even [["Take That!" Kiss|kisses him on the lips]] afterwards, remarking what a rush planting false memories gives him!
* [[Missing Time]]: By the end of the episode the team realizes they've lost two days and there is no record of them, which is necessary because otherwise {{spoiler|they would remember Adam, who survives by people remembering him}}.
* [[Rape
* [[Reality Ensues]]: Cosmic superpowers... thwarted by the first person who checks the security camera.
* [[Running the Asylum]]: Adam basically acts like a deranged fanfiction author, rewriting reality to fit him into it as much as possible, rewriting the characters to conform to his version of reality, and pretty much turns Torchwood into what would happen if an actual fanfiction writer was given real power.
