And why did they need to explain Jack's accent?

You know, you could have asked the actor to not do an accent that makes it sound like he's a character that just stepped out of a Victorian-era Dickensian novel?

But if you're going to have him speak like a Victorian London street-urchin then just let him do it and leave it at that.

Ugh there was just so much cringe in that episode.

And the thing is...explaining things away here and there or inventing what surely promises to be a tepid payoff a few episodes down the road doesnt make it any better.
