So my first thought is that the Ring falls through the Rift, and obviously Rhys is the only one thoroughly mundane enough to safely carry it. So he and Gwen get an all-expenses-paid working vacation to Hawaii and drop it in Kileaua.
...but I feel like I've already read that one. Maybe it's just so right that my brain is sure it already exists? Possibly there's an existing LOTR crossover in another fandom that takes the same matter-of-fact approach...
And really TBH it's more likely that Torchwood would screw up the whole thing entirely and, like, Ianto would have to take out a Queen Jack grown as beautiful and terrible as the moon! Treacherous as the seas! ...only for Ianto to fall prey to the ring himself, and eventually Martha shows up with her patent-pending Unit-produced Evil Ring Destructo ray, takes care of things, pats them all on the head, passes out band-aids and goes home. :D
(Meanwhile Sarah Jane has turned it into a Teachable Moment for the kids; she's not particularly worried, I mean, she met Sauron back in the day, and he wasn't all that, even with the ring, she's pretty sure that K9 and Rani and Clyde could take care of the matter and still be up for school the next morning.
She's right, too.
The one immutable rule of the expanded Doctor Who universe is that Sarah Jane and crew can do it better than you.)
