So that was the final episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day. It's a bit sad that it's over now but it give possibilities for more stories. If you haven't watched the episode yet, please stop reading now.
Summary:
Torchwood follows the trail of Jack's blood and so they are able to find where the Blessing is. Rex and Esther get into contact with the military in Buenos Aires who should help them to get into the house where the Blessing is. Gwen finds the entrance to the Blessing in Shanghai in an alley behind a restaurant. She calls Jack and Oswald to come and join her. Rhys is able to visit Gwen's father one last time before he is sent to the ovens. There is an explosion in Buenos Aires and everyone thinks Rex and Esther are dead which gives them the chance to get into the building without anyone knowing it but Jack's blood is lost. Oswald becomes a human bomb and so they can get in front of the Blessing. There they find out that they can only reverse the Miracle when they fed it with mortal blood from both sides. Is this still possible after Rex and Esther have lost Jack's blood and are they able to sacrifice the people they love for humanity?
I really liked the episode but I think I still don't really know what the Blessing is. Maybe it's just me not knowing it but it doesn't seem to be alien which is a bit disappointing but something that grew inside the earth for a long time and was fed by - I don't know - essence of humanity or something. As always I liked the Jack/Gwen moments and that she killed him instead him killing himself. Well, at least we are rid of Oswald now but part of the families still exist and they are planning their next steps. Jack is immortal again and Rex as well. Wow that was a nice twist at the end but it's a bit sad that Esther is dead. Well, that was Torchwood for now and it's not known if there will be any more Torchwood anytime soon. We will see.
