A while back I did a post about the chest bump I'd seen Jim and Blair do in a vid, and which I'd tracked down to an episode I hadn't seen. I have watched it now (I've been saving the last two unwatched episodes, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
byrne, hoarding them for a rainy day; only one left now ::cries::) and my God, Jim goes off the freaking scale with the possessiveness. My jaw was dropping.
In that postwolfling remarked, That was Cassie's second episode, the one they tried to do a triangle with her, Jim and Blair. And yeah they managed to set up a triangle but not the way they intended. It read like Cassie was panting after Jim, Blair after Cassie, and Jim after Blair.
No. Kidding.
Sheesh.
Throughout the episode, Blair's keen on working with Cassie, asking her for lunch, bonding over secret cyphers and history and the like and Jim is so pouty it's not true. I wish I could go through detailing every sniff, every eye roll, every muttered aside we get, but I'd practically be quoting the entire episode.
God, I love this show.
And the chest bump and the intense eye fucking going on between Jim and Blair at the end has cheered me up after a very stressful homework emergency last night with Eleanor and her two project buddies involving many phonecalls, upset moms, upset kids and missed deadlines (not E's fault) with marks getting deducted for lateness, omg.
::remembers Jim's snittiness and is soothed::
See, it's not that I hate Cassie. It's just that she's wrong and way out of line. If I thought they were excluding her because she was a woman, I'd be right there for her, but they're not. The Sentinel thing aside, which is one very good reason for them not letting her work closely with them as Jim is hopeless about being discreet when he's on the trail, she isn't a detective because she's physically incapable of doing the job, due to her asthma.
It's hard to have an ambition thwarted but an adult accepts what can't be changed and moves the hell on. Her own job is vital and significant and her inability to follow orders puts her and others (in this case, Blair) in danger and makes Jim's reluctance to work with her pretty reasonable.
But I still can't get over how rude he is to her. She turns up at the door (early and without warning) and he says just one word, not even to her, more of a mutter, before going off upstairs again with pretty much actual violin music swelling to make sure we see how left out and upset he is that Blair and Cassie are involved.
The fact that Cassie's throwing herself at him either doesn't register or is just irrelevant. And he 'took a friend out to dinner' did he? I bet whoever it was got treated to a long rant about the Blair/Cassie situation until they skipped dessert and coffee and got out while they still had an ear attached.
So much love :-)
