Quotes from "Immortal Sins"

It gets so bright you have to close your eyes. And when you open them, it's gone. But the image stays behind your eyelids for longer than it was alive.

Torchwood: Miracle Day: Immortal Sins

That was a bloody great episode and I loved it. I feel we are getting closer to why the miracle happened now. Well, I guess we should be because it is only 3 episodes left till the finale. When you haven't seen the episode yet, stop reading now.

Summary:
Someone has kidnapped Gwen's family and now she has to bring Jack to them. During their drive Jack remembers his time in America in 1927 when he met Angelo, a man from Italy, who becomes his companion. Together they kill an alien parasite but then Jack is shot and Angelo thinks he is dead. Jack comes back to life but Angelo is in prison.They meet again a year later and Angelo kills Jack because he thinks he is the devil. Different people torture Jack and he dies over and over again and then there are this three strange man who make an agreement of some kind. Jack leaves without Angelo. In the present the moment arrives when Gwen has to hand over Jack but then everything changes.

I really loved this episode because it showed so much of Jack's past and that Gwen is willing to sacrifice everything to save her family. So Angelo has something to do with the whole miracle but we still don't know what and why. Maybe it's all about getting old with Jack or revenge because he has left him. I don't see any other possibilities at the moment. It's an episode where we don't see a lot of Rex and Esther but they are a bit like guardian angels for Jack and Gwen and help them in the background. Well, Torchwood is together again but for how long? I really don't know if Jack will go with this woman who was played by Nana Visitor. It's good to see her again. Who are the three men who made a bargain when Jack was tortured? They definitely have something to do with everything because they formed a triangle with their hands which is quite familiar to us now. I'm really looking forward to the next episode. Torchwood has picked up speed again.
