  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

A shell-shocked soldier from World War I named Tommy is the only hope for repairing a rift in time. So Torchwood froze him for 90 years, waking him up once a year to check his vitals. Tosh has developed a bit of a crush on him during those days.

This year, during his annual walk about town, Tommy finds out that he has to go back to 1918 the next day. Jack allows him to go home with Tosh so they can enjoy one night together. In a rare moment of sincerity, Owen tells Tosh to be careful, because he knows how much it hurts when people head home to their own time again.

Ianto and Jack have been dating for a while now, and they share a sweet kiss when Jack says he doesn't want to go back to the 51st century anymore.

Tommy is brought back to 1918 to repair a time gap. He also immediately becomes shell-shocked again. Tosh gets through to him and convinces him to use his time repair device, even though she knows he'll be shot for "cowardice" a few weeks later.

Tropes used in Torchwood/Recap/S2 E3 To the Last Man include:
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Tommy goes back in time to repair the rift, even though he knew that he would be sent back to the front and killed.
  • War Is Hell
