I forgot how little Captain Jack is in this episode, but you don't really miss him. Gwen has some really badass moments that more than make up for it, such as when she's taking down the ambulance drivers who are actually government spies, or breaking into the secret base where Jack is being held.

 

This has to be among Captain Jack's more gruesome deaths also. It's truly terrifying to think how much pain he must be feeling when you see his skin totally burnt, and he's just screaming.

 

Another excellent episode for sure.

JOHNSON: Now do you believe she's a terrorist?

ANDY: She shot the wheels. What kind of terrorist shoots your wheels, hmm?

JOHNSON: A clever one.

— Day Two

Transcript Needs checking

[Roald Dahl Plass]

(There is a crater where Torchwood once was. Her proximity to the blast has nearly deafened Gwen. The emergency services are on the scene.)

PARAMEDIC: Whoa. Whoa, whoa. You can't go back there, love. No, no, no, it's too dangerous.
GWEN: They're my friends. I've got to get them out. My friends are in there! My friends!
PARAMEDIC: Get her back to the ambulance.
GWEN: Let me go. Let me go. Let me go! No!

[Ambulance]

PARAMEDIC: Hold her down. Control said no survivors.
(Gwen bites the man holding her then knocks them both out with a fire extinguisher. She takes their guns then a red laser sight hits her eye. Diving out of the ambulance, she shoots at the sniper, who hits one of the paramedics as he tumbles out the back of the vehicle. Gwen goes round to the drivers seat and leaves in a hurry.
Ianto crawls out of the crater and spots the red laser sight as well. He runs, bullets ricocheting around him. The sniper gives chase, but is a useless shot.)
