Torchwood: Miracle Day: The Middle Men

I just finished watching the episode "The Middle Man" and it has definitely some really nice explosions in it. For all of you who haven't watched the episode yet and don't want to know what happens, please stop reading now.

Summary:
Rex had to watch how Vera was burned alive in one of the modules. After that the overflow camp goes into lock down and Rex and Esther can't get out. Rex tries to flee but he is caught and nearly "killed" by the one who killed Vera before but Esther can save him. Jack tries to find our more about the people who are behind the miracle but he only finds the middle men who can't tell him anything. Meanwhile Gwen tries to get her father out of the overflow camp in Wales which she manages with the help of Rhys. Before she returns to L.A. she blows everything up but she is confronted with a not so pleasant surprise when she's back in America.

Not a lot of Jack moments in this episode but when he is on screen we can see his charming side again even when he threatens someone to get information. We now know hat is behind the overflow camps but Torchwood is unable to do something against them because the can't do anything against politicians. Sounds somewhat familiar, doesn't it. It seems now that PhiCorp is not behind evereything and that they are just "Middle Men" as well who get profit from the miracle. I loved the moment between Jack and Gwen when she blows up the overflow camp and he says, "That's my girl." But I also like the moments between Esther and Rex who helps her to cope with everything. A calmer but also great episode.
You can watch the episode online here.
