The final instalment of the series, The Blood Line, brought the fight to Buenos Aires and Shanghai, or a Pit in Old Shanghai, antipodes of each other. Jack at one end and Rex the other. It was only going to end in bloodshed. Was this where we saw our Immortal now Mortal Jack Harkness facing his last, at the hands of his most loyal of colleagues? It said goodbye to the many and a welcome return of others. Torchwood were resetting the world and bringing Death Back.
