What interests me is that Jack doesn't seem to be making an effort to fully integrate with his current home, despite having taken on the job of helping it. Otherwise, he'd be living in some cute little semi-detached and drinking something stronger than water down at the pub or at dinner with the team.
I get the feeling that Jack is a wanderer, like the Doctor and Rose. He isn't inclined on making homes for himself. I think he recognizes that his stay in Torchwood is temporary; he has his reasons for staying in this one place and time but he will move on... or his reasons will be fulfilled and he will decide to stay.
I believe Jack believes that Rose is dead. She's in the manifest, after all, of the dead post-invasion. But there is no evidence of the Doctor's demise and I believe Jack is waiting for the Doctor to return, because the Doctor has the answers. The cure for his immortality, perhaps. Jack is imbued with the Tardis' power. Perhaps there is a part of him that wants to return to the Tardis; it's his home?
I generally don't want to overspeculate either. hee hee. I just want to be along for the ride. And oh, it does feel like a fantastic ride.
