With her family held hostage, Gwen kidnaps Jack and prepares to deliver him to their enemies. In the process, they discover that the Miracle has a connection to Jack's past: a man named Angelo Colasanto, whom he first met in 1927 New York. In Angelo, Jack saw an opportunity to share his adventures, in much the same way that Rose healed the loneliness of the Doctor's travels. But Angelo became horrified when he discovered the nature of Jack's immortality. The result was one of the most terrible days of Jack's long life, with consequences that would echo all the way to the present.
