The Impossible Choice
Millions of children or one? The one being your own grandson. It is not a choice that should be made even under the best of circumstances, but with his heart and soul gone Jack allows himself to think the unthinkable.
There are no other children around to allow the plan to work. He has to make the impossible choice despite the protests of his daughter. If Ianto was still alive, Jack knows he would come up with another plan and not damn him to hell when it comes time to meet his maker.
Damned if you do. Damned if you don't.
