Thank you!

Oh my God that is clever. I absolutely love the way Suzie is going quietly insane, and while Jack is distracted by Ianto, she has clearly killed someone, which cheers her up.

I do see Jack and Ianto this way, I think it makes sense of the levels of fury and betrayal in Cyberwoman, I remember watching the first time around and not being sure whether it was UST between J/I or they were shagging, until I saw Cyberwoman and I thought, yep they have been shagging. Then Fragments made even more sense of it all.

"and while Jack is distracted by Ianto, she has clearly killed someone, which cheers her up."

Ianto and Suzie should have been tag-teaming it: "You distract him from 14:00 - weevil time, and I'll do it from 23:00 - 5:00. That way he won't clue into my cybergirlfriend or your propensity to commit murder!"

This is quite good, great build up to what we know. I always want to see people's ideas of their first kiss.

Thanks! And I felt that Ianto would have to initiate, to a certain extent, moving from flirting to more physical stuff.
