I thought Gwen was the tether to the ordinary world.
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Maybe, ita. But Gwen is at least a trained police officer able to defend herself (as she proved so memorably in the last ep!). And after 2 seasons and one miniseries, she's been fully integrated into Torchwood. And even if she didn't volunteer for Torchwood, she got in because she did something.
Rhys is a truck driver with no special talents or skills. And he didn't do anything to get into Torchwood -- he just fell in love with and married Gwen. But every now and then he does something important. (Think Xander -- Glory -- wrecking ball.)

He didn't get into Torchwood, though. He's just TW adjacent. Xander, on the other hand, was a Scoob.

Fair point. Maybe Joyce. Or if a Scoob had a non-Scoob significant other.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'll be very upset if we don't see Rhys again, and I am worried that he and the baby are not safe in Wales by themselves.
