I wouldn't bury the Jack/Ianto relationship just yet. This was an emotional episode for Jack- not only Gwen getting married (whether he loves her or is just afraid of losing her as a friend) but also memories of his own marriage that probably popped up. I agree this episode wasn't very good for that shipping, but it's not something that can't be fixed in an episode or two when Jack gets out of his funk.
As for Jack's "pizza, Ianto..." Ianto told Martha that they "dabble", so they're both downplaying it. Plus it's Jack, he always makes jokes like that.
Lack of chemistry during the dance between Jack and Ianto? I'll say Jack's being tired and Emo and not really there, which to me explains the lack of chemistry in the Jack/Martha kiss.
I'm not a shipper, I like Jack/anyone (besides Owen, that's strictly father/son) but I don't want Jack and Gwen to get together, cause I adore Rhys and Jack's always been very supportive of their relationship.
I think we don't know enough about the Jack/Ianto relationship to really say what's going on there. They never show them talking about it, so we don't really know if they're exclusive or if Jack told him he can't commit, or what not.
I'd give it a few more episodes- I think we might see some Ianto/Jack in the next two episodes (just a feeling based on very vague rumors) and then people can take the shipping apart.
