I think it's not so much "how can we make them sad?" but more "how can we mess them around? How can we exploit our roles as writers? How can we play with our audience?" Personally, I think Torchwood writers love playing with their audience.
It happened with Suzie, it happened with the Janto kiss at the end of the first series and it happened here.
So it was more for effect than for story? I totally agree.
