Oh, I'm glad to hear that. While Gwen irks me with some of the stuff she does, I didn't set out to just bash her into the floor (if I had, it'd be a totally different story). I can't bring myself to hate her totally because she is pretty bad-ass at times.
Torchwood is full of Jack/Gwen UST, and I wanted to play on that; Owen and Toshiko wouldn't have pushed for an answer from Jack about the necklace the way Gwen would. Gwen feels entitled to a complete explanation, while the others feel it's ultimately none of their business (past making sure it's not dangerous).
And I agree, she loves Rhys and Jack (and Owen and Tosh and Ianto and Andy too) as much as she is capable. Ianto completely and utterly gives of himself when he loves someone -- read: Lisa -- and I believe Jack gets that same level of devotion, and that Jack returns it as well.

And enough of my ranting! Thanks for reviewing.
