Sentinel question

[janedavitt]

I wanted to see what episode ends with Jim and Blair bumping chests ::ponders that so very male action:: as I'd seen it in a vid; knew it had to be an episode I hadn't seen, guessed it was a closer, so it didn't take long to track down.

It's a S3 one called 'Breaking Ground'.

Now, I didn't read it all, but the end had me jaw-dropped. Simon's just warned Cassie and Blair not to fraternise (you tell 'em, Simon!) and I got the impression Cassie and Blair had been undercover pretending to be an item? Whatever.

So then we have this (from Becky's transcripts):

Jim: Well, you deserved it. (looks at them again) I think it's time we had a little talk, okay?

Cassie: Uh-oh. Sounds serious.

Jim: I think we all know what's going on here and before we have...

Cassie: Jim, I think you're probably...

Jim: Before it gets to be a problem, we just need to set some ground rules.

Blair: Oh, yeah? Like what?

Jim: I think we should...decide to be just friends, all of us. And stick to it.

Cassie: You think you guys can handle that?

Jim (still eating chips) and Blair look at each and smile and shrug.

Cassie: Uh-huh. Okay. Fine. Good. (gets into elevator)

Jim: Toodles. Goodbye.

Elevator doors close. Blair moves around to stand in front of Jim.

Blair: "I think we should be just be friends."

Jim: Right.

Blair: Right.

Jim: You want some of this?

Blair: Yeah.

They chest bump.

Jim: Bring it on, man.



I can't read that any other way than Blair and Jim being secret lovers and snickering over the idea that they could ever just be friends. I'm sorry, I just can't. If I'm getting this out of context, don't burst my happy, slashy bubble, m'kay? ;-)

God, I love this show.
