Torchwood Episode 17:
Meat

Plot

Rhys learns that Leighton, one of his haulage firm's drivers, has been killed in a traffic accident. Arriving on the scene, he's shocked to find Gwen there with Torchwood, looking into the discovery of alien meat inside the lorry. Frustrated by his fiancee's secrecy, Rhys conducts his own investigation, and he discovers that Leighton was embroiled in a scheme to profit off an enormous extraterrestrial creature which continues to grow no matter how much it is butchered. But Rhys also draws Torchwood's suspicion regarding his own complicity... leading to a confrontation with Gwen that will change their relationship forever.
