Torchwood: Miracle Day/Heartwarming


  • Jack suggests detaching the head of the still-alive suicide bomber which, if you know Jack, could be seen as an attempt to put the poor man out of his misery.
  • After the events of Categories of Life and The Middle Men, Esther can't do anything but call herself out on her dreams of being an agent like Rex. All Rex can think to do is kiss her forehead, comfort her, and tell her to put herself together, though his tone of voice suggests that he said it as a good motivator than anything else.
  • In "End of the Road", Gwen is on the phone to Rhys and her mother. Her mother brings up how they were held hostage and it sounds like she's blaming Gwen for it -- and then she tells her to use that as motivation to "find the bastards" responsible for everything that's happened.
  • In "The Gathering" Rex figures out where Esther and Jack are hiding by Gwen being present among them. Normally, their lack of professionalism would have earned them his lectures. Instead, he mentions how bad they are at going undercover... followed by him, Jack, Esther, and Gwen all giggling to themselves, realizing that it's become a huge in-joke by now.
  • When death finally comes back. We get a quick cut to the Overflow Camp in Wales, where Rhys is reassuringly squeezing the hand of his father-in-law and, even moreso, when we see Andy silently mourning the death of a girl he didn't even know, because there was nobody else there to mourn and he felt someone ought to.
  • I found the moment when Jack is talking to his ex-lover while the latter is in a coma about his life, specicifically the point where he talks about Ianto and that he "would have liked him." I tried not to cry, as I was watching with my parents.
