More development on Jack

Confidence Man: In this episode we find out Jack's other side, when he allows Siad to torture Sawyer for Shannon's asthma inhalers. It shows how Jack can be so focused on saving one person, that he disregards, or neglects his humane duty to another. It shows that Jack has a ruthless side to him that he sometimes lets out, perhaps not for the best.

All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues: In this episode we are shown in more detail the relationship Jack had with his father, through the use of flashbacks. We see how Jack had to decide whether or not to dob his father in, or to let him get away with going into surgery intoxicated, which resulted in a woman dying. Jack only tells the authorities when he finds out that the woman they had been operating on together was pregnant and his father had not told him. This meant that Jack did not know to try and save the baby as well. It shows that Jack is prepared to tell on his family in order to do the right thing, even if it will ruin his fathers life. Jack is prepared to do this so that his father never hurts anyone else by going in to operate while intoxicated.
