It was only a matter of time before we had another weevil-centric episode.
We still don’t know much more about what weevils actually are, but we know a bit more about them now in this Fight Club-ish episode, where they’re used as punching (and kicking and biting and whatever else) bags.
That’s how we find out the weevils have a low-grade telepathy that allows them to communicate with one another. Janet, Torchwood’s weevil (“Barbara didn’t sound right,” Capt. Jack explains), is in pain because of this. They take her (him?) to the spot where other weevils have been kidnapped and track her to find out what’s going on.
Owen’s been working on getting on the inside in other ways and ends up in the fight cage with Janet.
