At first I expected Jack to die-die-dead-dead-dead in MD. (Kinda hoped for it, actually, to put the poor guy out of his misery...and ours.) Now I don't think he will. Remember, he's got the Rectangle o' Reversability from the floor Angelo stole from the exploded Hub within the last 18 months or so.
Now, I'm expecting Jack's death to be a fake-out. He *will* really die (but not die-die-dead-dead-dead), and Gwen will be the one who pulls the trigger and kills him. (O! The anguish! O! The emotional pain! O! Let's ignore the fact that two (three?) eps ago you were happily sending him to his dead-dead-dead death and expecting him to tell you happy fairytales while you waited to turn him over to the "bad guys".)
So Jack will die, but will call on the Powers of His Rectangle o' Reversability (since he's mortal now (and I *still* want to know why healing slower = mortal), the RoR makes him immortal), so he'll gasp back to life. Maybe we'll even see him gasping back to life days later, after Abbadon sucked most of his life-force out of him and died in an abandoned space station warehouse, all alone, except for piles of Dalek dust and dead bodies. And the camera pulls back in a crane shot, and there's poor Jack, sitting all alone again, abandoned again by his teammates. And we end the show with Gwen on a commercial flight to the UK, from China closed it's borders Shanghai, in tears, because the mean Chinesies and Family peopleses won't let her sit in their warehouse for days, while ignoring her family's needs and letting everyone else do the clean-up work, and because now that the "team" is dead there's no way to make herself feel more special and more important, and because Jack won't be around any more to keep implying that everything she does is right and proper and logical,(we'll ignore that little "rip the skin from your skull comment" shall we? Gwen certainly is.) and to keep her supplied with Retcon for everyone else that Gwen's in a snit with.
