Oh, and I love that the 456 DID know that Clem was watching. And I'm suspecting they left him behind for a reason other than some pubes.
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Or maybe they did -- the guy who looks spookily like John Spencer may have survived in his HazMat suit
I suspect if they looked at the formulation of the gas that the creature required, they would discover a lot about it. And if they hadn't blown up Torchwood, they might even have had a weapon that could have been used against them. Also, if they can figure out why the 456 want the children, they may be able to make the children unpalatable in some way. It's interesting that the kid in the box had some sort of breathing apparatus on.
Random thought: Technically, the 456 didn't welsh on the deal not to come back, England did. They promised 12 children, but only gave them 11, since Clem escaped.

“Not dead yet!”
They promised 12 children, but only gave them 11, since Clem escaped.
Did he really, though? I got the feeling that he was walking into the light, just lagging behind, and as he got close, the blinding flash happened, taking the others, but leaving him behind. And because everyone was blinded by the flash and had looked away, he took the opportunity to run.

That occurred to me too! But then Clem and Gwen were had the whole "Why was I left behind?" "Puberty?" discussion and it seemed more like the 456 rejected him.

And it is amusingly politically incorrect in this instance to say they welshed. Good one.

Well, I thought it was so he doesn't breathe the toxic/poisonous air that the 456 breathes?

Right, but that tells us something, right? that the children don't adapt to their environment.

It also tells us that the children are not killed instantly.

Though they're not what I'd call "alive" either.

Art Crawl!!!
No, they're in some weird form of stasis.
Or become part of whatever the 456 are. Obviously, whatever the children did for the 456 was so successful that they came back for more - to outfit or retrofit more of their people.
So sad and also angry about Ianto.
