Whilst Lynette Porter thought that Gwen became a ``fallen woman'' through her affair with Owen, she observed that this made Gwen's role in relation to Jack in ``End of Days'', analogous to that of Mary Magdalene to Jesus, reinforcing a prevalent biblical subtext. Gwen keeps a vigil at Jack's ``Torchwood tomb'' and like Magdalene is rewarded for her loyalty by being the first to lay eyes upon the risen saviour.
