I perefer to think that Diane found the chinks in Owen's armour which led to him being able to start operning up to Tosh.
One of the things that annoyed me most about Torchweood was the way the 'background characters' (Owen, Tosh, Ianto) remained largely unexplored until they were about to be killed, then suddenly we learn things about them just so we'll feel sad when they're killed. They should have been given more screen time and backstory from the start, by the only one to be thoroughly explored was Gwen and there was absoluely nothing of any interest in her story. Ordinary woman, ordinary boyfriend, ordinary life, dull, dull, dull. What a waste of the potential of three great characters.
