Esther secretly visits her [[Torchwood (TV)/Recap/S4 E3 Dead of Night|previously mentioned sister]], Sarah, who lives in a boarded-up house [[Room Full of Crazy|with paranoid writing all over it]]. She won't let Esther in, instead telling her that the Miracle is an airborne poison and that no one is safe. When Esther hears the voices of Sarah's two daughters inside, she decides to take matters into her own hands. Choking back tears, she calls child protection services.
