It makes the entire scene all the more horrifying and traumatic, and Jamie's countenance at the end of the episode is that of a man preparing to be completely broken by this act, which is worse than he could have imagined. This is a fantasy he has obviously wanted for so long he's not going to rush a single thing. But Black Jack doesn't return to Jamie to assault him quickly - he draws it out by licking his scars and slowly undressing him. Jamie does just that, despite Claire's protestations, and Jack does keep his word by letting her go. By threatening to harm Claire, he knew Jamie would acquiesce to him, and offer up himself instead. When Claire enters the scene in her attempt to save Jamie, Jack was basically given a gift. It's not just torture, but manipulation as well. Jamie attacks him, and Marley nearly kills him in return, but then Jack kicks Marley in the face to get him off of Jamie so he doesn't kill him. He tells Jamie that any man can be broken, and proceeds to prove it. He lashes out with terrifyingly controlled rage, and yet, also acts as if all of this is part of an elaborate plan. His character is a man whose secret sexuality has been so deeply repressed within him that he has allowed it to turn into a twisted and dark thing. Tobias Menzies is completely terrifying as Jack. And as he said, he's only getting started.

He "tests" Jamie's sincerity about letting Black Jack rape him by nailing his broken hand to a table while Claire holds him and cries. He coddles Jamie and then beats him, he shoves Jamie's hand again his penis, and then walks away. Ultimately, though, his desire is for Jamie, and it's a game he plays without being rushed. All of Black Jack's former torture of the two was brought back up in these exchanges, from the references to Jamie's scars to Jack considering letting his "dog" Marley rape Claire. The rest of "Wentworth Prison" focused on Claire's brave and clever - but foiled - plans to rescue Jamie, and Jamie's dealings with Black Jack in the dungeon.
