Details:

After The Year The Never Was, Jack returns to his friends (and lover) at Torchwood. He tries to get back into the habit of work but it all becomes too much for him after John pushes him off the building and he suffers a violent death. Jack explains to the team that he needs a break from Torchwood to recover... they're reluctant because Jack asks them to ret-con him so he can live temporarily as a human. In the end they give in because he makes a compromise; he'll alter the retcon so it'll wipe his memory but will have a strong trigger (the word Tardis). So Jack wipes his memory and begins to live as a regular human thanks to the false life set up by Tosh. Ianto takes him into his home as Jack's boyfriend to protect and care for the Captain. The only thing is with the retcon, Jack can't remember Ianto... he can't remember ever laying eyes on him before. Ianto has to convince Jack of how important to him and how much he loves him.
