But the thing about Ianto is he loved both of them, you could see that. Of course, he loved Jack but he also loved Gwen...the way they walked arm in arm in Sleeper, the work he put into her wedding, the fact that he went behind Jack's back for her in Adrift and when she told them she was pregnant...it was obvious he felt for her like a sister which is why I found it so bizarre when they insisted on having Rhi bitch her out and we found out Ianto had lied to her all that time...like what was the purpose there? I like having Gwen see reality once in a while, but she could have just bitched her out for letting her brother die without the lying part. I didn't get it.
That was the wonderful thing about Ianto: He just loved uncondtionally even if those loved ones hurt him. It's amazing he never got really embittered by all he's been put through: Perhaps on the inside but he was considerate enough not to show it unless he was pushed to the breaking point...
I wished we could've seen more of his and Gwen's friendship: They clearly bonded while Jack was gone. It's interesting how he supported her in some ways since she clearly has conflicting feelings about Jack (as Jack seemed to for her). I guess he felt he wasn't one to judge since he was just as fucked up as the rest of them. I think he also had faith in Jack being too decent a man to break up Gwen and Rhys.
