You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.82.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:36, 3 July 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

"'''Rendition'''" is the second episode of ''[[Torchwood: Miracle Day]]'', the fourth series of the British [[science fiction on television|science fiction television]] series ''[[Torchwood]]''. It was originally broadcast in the United States on [[Starz (TV channel)|Starz]] on 15 July 2011, in Canada on [[Space (Canadian TV channel)|Space]] on 16 July 2011, and in the United Kingdom on [[BBC One]] on 21 July 2011.

''Torchwood: Miracle Day'' follows the aftermath of a day where humanity has stopped being able to die. In the episode, [[Central Intelligence Agency]] agent [[Rex Matheson]] ([[Mekhi Phifer]]) takes [[Torchwood Institute|Torchwood]] team members [[Jack Harkness]] ([[John Barrowman]]), who is the only mortal human, and [[Gwen Cooper]] ([[Eve Myles]]) on a plane to the United States. During the flight, a traitor in the CIA ([[Dichen Lachman]]) poisons Jack with [[arsenic]] and Rex, helped by Dr. [[Vera Juarez]] ([[Arlene Tur]]), find an antidote using only items found on the plane.

==Plot==
[[Rex Matheson|Rex]] has [[Jack Harkness|Jack]] and [[Gwen Cooper|Gwen]] board a plane headed to Washington, D.C., with fellow CIA agent Lyn Peterfield escorting them. However, Gwen's husband [[Rhys Williams (Torchwood)|Rhys]] and their daughter Anwen are forced to stay in the UK. Back in Washington, D.C., because no one can die due to the Miracle, Dr. [[Vera Juarez]] has her hospital staff focus on treating the least wounded first so they can get them out quickly and have enough beds to treat newer patients.

After his release, [[Oswald Danes|Oswald]] is being interviewed on a local talk show but doesn't say much since there is a campaign to have him returned to prison and anything he might say might be used against him. But when the reporter shows him a picture of the girl he murdered, Oswald starts to break down and cries, apologising to the girl and revealing he was too scared to apologise to the victim's mother, which earns him sympathy from some viewers. As he's about to leave the TV station, PR agent [[Jilly Kitzinger]] congratulates him on his interview and offers to be his agent but he declines, after which a TV staffer tells Oswald that [[Oprah Winfrey]] wants to do an interview with him.

Meanwhile, Vera attends a medical conference where doctors are trying to figure out the Miracle. When a doctor [[Twitter|tweets]] that his hospital needs more antibiotics, Vera realises because nobody is dying, people who were supposed to die have become living incubators for bacteria which allows them to grow and become resistant to antibiotics. What's worse, the Miracle is not true immortality as people still age and grow old. With fears that supplies will dwindle as the undying grows, Vera suggests that hospitals need more painkillers to handle this situation. Later, Vera meets Jilly who actually works for a pharmaceutical company called PhiCorp and convinces Vera that they can work together as she can help her.

When Director Brian Friedkin suspects [[Esther Drummond|Esther]] and Rex may know too much about [[Torchwood Institute|Torchwood]], he has their security clearances deleted, frames them as spies working for China and orders Lyn to kill Jack with an [[arsenic]] pill. However, Esther manages to escape before the CIA catches her and tries to warn Rex. Back on the plane, Jack realises that he's being poisoned, at which point both Gwen and Rex apprehend Lyn. As Jack is slowly being killed by the arsenic, Rex calls Vera for help. With the help of her fellow doctors at the medical conference and the air stewards on their plane, Rex and Gwen successfully create an antidote and administer it to Jack.

When Jack, Gwen, Rex and Lyn arrive at the airport, they are met by a group of CIA agents, unaware that they are under orders by Friedkin to arrest the three and free Lyn. Esther manages to warn Rex at which point he, Jack and Gwen subdue the agents and escape. During the fight Rex twists Lyn's head and breaks her neck. When the three exit the airport, they are greeted by Vera with Rex's painkillers, and Esther, who is their [[crime scene getaway|getaway driver]]. They are about to leave when Lyn, still alive but with her head twisted around 180 degrees, appears in front of them. She is unable to stop them due to her condition, and they are able to drive off.

==Reception==
Chris Swanson from ''WhatCulture'' gave the episode 4 stars, saying:

<blockquote>I liked this episode. It wasn’t exactly action-packed or anything like that, but it did feature some nice moments, like a conversation between Gwen and Jack about how dangerous being around him is (shades of similar conversations on [[Doctor Who]]).<br />
<br /> 
I also very much liked that they are continuing to examine the logistics of exactly what would happen in a situation like this. No one has yet suggested mandatory birth control, but we do see discussions about the fact that the entire medical industry would have to change from a life-saving position to one that’s more about pain management.<ref>((cite news |first=Chris |last=Swanson |url=http://whatculture.com/tv/tv-review-torchwood-miracle-day-4-2-rendition.php |title=TV Review: Torchwood Miracle Day, 4.2 – "Rendition" |publisher=WhatCulture! |date=18 July 2011 ))</ref></blockquote>
