It's alright, really. Given the big nature of Reset's ending, I very much remember expecting something like this where they kind of walk it back on my original viewing of the episode. They do a pretty good job of conveying a shift in status quo though, and Freema Agyeman is always nice to see.
I just don't care about Owen's character that much and don't mesh well with what he's been presented as. I just was never able to shake how much of a creep he was initially presented as and I feel the show never properly reconciled that fact, so this whole arc falls pretty flat for me. The use of the glove is pretty interesting as a concept but then conveying some of that significance through Weevils is just... lame. The Weevils are so lame. So the episode is certainly interesting and we're far from the worst of Torchwood but not really aligned with the best, either.
