I'm my still-developing DW brain, I'm thinking that the cantina visit may be a significant step in bringing Jack back to his destiny as The Face of Boe. Mind you, I'm still working things about as a newcomer to the fandom, and I'm not afraid to be totally off base. :)
It seems to me that Jack clings to the Doctor because he is his Doctor, his mentor, his object of deepest love and admiration, his soul, in a way. So perhaps that moment of grace in the cantina is what pulls Jack out of the abyss, and starts him on the way to become truly connected to the Doctor (in becoming TFOB). I'm really crummy at this meta stuff. I'm going back to work. Stay warm!
