Queen Victoria extends an invitation to the Torchwood Estate to the Doctor and Rose upon their arrival in Scotland in 1879. They are unaware that a gang of monks have taken control of the estate and brought a werewolf with them in an attempt to infect Queen Victoria and create a “Empire of the Wolf.” After realizing the trap, the Doctor tries to protect Victoria, Rose, and himself from the werewolf. He finds out that the mansion was built as a werewolf trap since it has a big telescope that can kill the werewolf when combined with Victoria’s Koh-i-Noor diamond and full moonlight. The Doctor and Rose’s contemporary oddities unnerve Queen Victoria, despite saving her, and she establishes the Torchwood Institute to protect Britain from future alien assaults.
