Ianto Jones carefully picked up the last coffee cup and made his way over to the kitchen. Ever since Jack left, the rest of the team had to stick closer together and new friendships were born and solidified. Before Jack had left he and Owen could barely stand being in the same room as each other; but once the captain had left their friendship was born. Their friendship was still there, even though Jack had now returned.
Unlike what Jack thought though, he DID remember the 'year that never was' though he wisely decided to keep his mouth shut about it. He had gone with the rest of the team to the Himalayas and had to suffer along with Owen, watching Gwen and Toshiko die.
