Owen was hurt and pissed. The pain of missing Diane didn't fade away. He didn't want to think what other losses he was pouring into that loss. It was hard enough as it is and Doctor Harper wasn't psychiatrist to really believe all that bullocks about crying and sharing to clean the wound. It wasn't his flesh that was injured; he didn't have anything to stitch up like he did with his shoulder. Damn Ianto wasn't punished in any way for his actions, and even worse Owen didn't get even one simple thank you from Jack.
Lack of acknowledgment he was used to, and he could let it go, but he couldn't believe when Jack treated his actions in the line of duty like mistakes and wrong choices. He went as far to blame him for all that was happening in the world. He had saved Jack and Tosh, not destroying the world. Protecting the world was Jack's role, he'd better live up to his massive ego that made them run around with no explanation whatsoever. Owen left the boardroom before Jack said something that he couldn't forgive.
The hospital made Owen sick. They were diseases that doctors all over the world had defeated in the past, but there were diseases they haven't got medicines for, not anymore, there were so many other diseases that people of this age weren't ready for.
Owen went to Jack for answers; he demanded that he finally tell them why the fuck they all are following him. Instead of solution Jack dared to claim that he has nothing; he said that they have to improvise. Owen was sick and tired of improvising. He accepted Jack which he knew was just a hoax because he believed that there was something behind that superficial look, something that made him a leader. He had to have some hidden solutions or it was pointless, they could follow Gwen blindly through the darkness.
Owen decided that it was time for pretending and he asked Jack to tell them at least tell them his name, to show them they could trust him, that he has something to offer, but he crashed into brick wall. He wasn't surprised, not really. Jack loved when they obeyed him and looked up to him like he is some kind of deity, but first sign of disrespect and you're off. With Retcon, he wouldn't even be able to stay angry at him, to keep the knowledge that Jack Harkness is just an empty shell.
Owen went out defeated. That he knew to handle that well but then Diane appeared before him in all her greatness and he almost cried when he saw her sad eyes. For her he was a hero, charming and loving; he couldn't let Diane down, not her. It didn't matter what everyone else thought of him, she knew him better. So he went back to the Hub to do the right thing.
