Thank you :D The metaphor sort of ran away from me, but I liked it so I kept it. It also made me want a tropical island. And a Ianto.

Owen became a nicer character, but he was never punished for the fact that he's an absolute creeper to start with.

Ianto definitely tried the eyecandy thing, but I don't think he would have slept with him. I also think that they were much closer before Gwen arrived in the Hub and that Ianto knew about Jack's immortality. It's that that I hate Gwen for the most.
