When Tosh was sure that Owen was dying, and couldn’t be rescued, she kind of gave up. She let her heart slow down and even when Gwen and Jack found her, she just couldn’t hold on any longer. She let herself die.

They all cried as they took down the remnants of their lost colleagues, as they prepared Tosh for burial, to collect her things and store them the same way they had done with Suzie’s. It was hard for them all.

“How do we do this now?” Gwen asked, tears streaming down her face.

“I don’t know if we can,” Ianto said, looking to Jack for support.

He grabbed them both in a hug and pulled them close to him. “We carry on, we’ve all faced our own mortality, now we carry on and make it safe, but most of all, we remember them.”
