You make a really excellent point about that scene with Suzie and the scarf. It was at that point where I think I was getting mad at Jack for being so cruel, as it came before we found out the whole story.
I do tend to think that Suzie was abused by her father in some way, though I'm not positive which way that might be. And he looks so terrified when he wakes up and sees her, so I'm really interested in their relationship.
Speaking of, where Disney has a thing with mothers, Torchwood seems to have a thing with fathers. I'm not really sure what that's about. Either their dead, or absent, or (verbally/physically/mentally) abusive. The Electra complex versus the Oedipus complex? Or just...if you want to be a princess, have mommy issues, and if you want to be a Torchwood operative, have daddy issues. Me, I want to be a Torchwood princess.
At any rate, I agree with your point on Suzie's memorability. I just wish we got to see more of her!
