Angelo

Story: Torchwoood: Miracle Day - Immortal Sins
Written By: Jane Espenson
Length: 60 Minutes
Year: 2011

To change gears a bit, episode seven focuses on a dual story, of Gwen taking Jack to whoever has her family, while mostly focusing on Jack's exploits in the 1920s and his relationship with a young Italian man named Angelo Colasanto. Jack meets Angelo on Ellis Island, and begins a sexual relationship with him...but after Jack is shot and killed in front of the Catholic Angelo...and then comes back to life...Angelo assumes Jack is the Devil.
It all leads to a showdown in which Gwen and Jack meet up with some of the conspirators of the Miracle (presumably)...luckily Esther and Rex follow and help save Jack and Gwen, and manage to work with Andy to rescue Rhys, and Gwen's mother and baby.

I liked this episode, it had a lot to offer in terms of Jack...mostly hes been in the background this season, so it was nice to get a bit more of his history and nicely worked into the cliffhanger...in which we find that one of the major people behind the Miracle is in fact Angelo. I didn't totally buy the rescue lead by Andy (I don't feel as if there is a lot of reason for Rex or Esther to contact him specifically, it just felt disconnected to me). That said who cares, I liked the episode for the most part...and the Angelo cliffhanger is quite good. Plus we have DS9's Nana Vistor now!
