For the most part, it consisted of a flashback in pre-[[Great Depression|Depression]] era [[New York City]]. It importantly introduced the character of [[Angelo Colasanto]], a lover that [[Jack Harkness]] met while standing in line at [[Ellis Island]]. Colasanto's granddaughter [[Olivia Colasanto|Olivia]] — played by ''[[Star Trek (franchise)|Star Trek]]'' regular [[Nana Visitor]] — also made her debut. [[Rex Matheson]] and [[Esther Drummond]] were resigned to cameo roles, while [[Gwen Cooper]] played an important part in the final acts of the episode. From a continuity standpoint, it was clearly the single episode of ''Miracle Day'' which made the most references to the broader [[DWU]], even giving a shout-out to a ''[[Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' [[the Trickster|character]]. Narratively speaking, it was the only episode in the Miracle Day arc to feature the appearance of an [[Brainspawn|alien]]. | For the most part, it consisted of a flashback in pre-[[Great Depression|Depression]] era [[New York City]].

This showed a first in Jack's long life, albeit a flashback. Jack had wanted to take Angelo along with him as both his lover and companion, having been inspired by how the Doctor (a near-immortal) made the loneliness of a long life more bearable by having someone to share some time with. | |||
