I feel like I missed something in the Torchwood from Saturday. The guy blew up at the military facility and suddenly the threat was over? What happened to all the other sleeper agents?
It's all about the coat.

What happened to all the other sleeper agents?
The other ones that were activated blew themselves up, I think. There was the woman who walked into the building, causing BIG BOOM, and...I forget who the fourth one was.

Ann, that's a ferret.
The fourth was the paramedic who blew up the oil tanker truck.

I thought that the paramedic walked away from that - but if that was the only thing he was supposed to do - maybe they self-destruct.

I thought he put the bomb on the truck and stood next to it when it blew up. He would have had to run damn fast to get away from that big of an explosion, and he wasn't moving at all, IIRC.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Was it one of those slow-motion explosions? Those are pretty easy to outrun....

bwah! yes! I was confused because suddenly they were all back at Torchwood and there was no explanation.

Maybe the BBCA edit cut something. I don't remember the details from the airing I watched a week and a half ago.

Ann, that's a ferret.
The paramedic caused the explosion at the underpass. The driver behind him was honking and yelling. Don't know whether he survived. Nobody from Torchwood was there.
The slomo explosion was the guy with the shirt and tie who killed the city emergency planning chief and his family. Torchwooders were there. I assumed they got back to HQ during the commercial break, and we didn't see it because nothing of moment happened.

I suspect this. I remember that all the sleepers exploderated but Beth and the last dude, and that they showed most of the explosions and also confirmed it in dialogue.
