I'm glad they didn't heal all wounds with the kiss, though. John's said they discovered the pairing wouldn't work because Nate being a damaged douchebag was more important than getting the two of them together, and Sophie deserved better than that.

So if he's not going to be a douchenozzle anymore, who will he be? If he still has some sort of demons, maybe they'll continue to get in the way.

Can we just have some Parker/Hardison? Goddamnit.

Can we just have some Parker/Hardison?

With some Eliot on top!

Or on the side, for that matter.

Between would work, too.

I'm not ready for between yet. Give them some time first.

I'll take some chaste love with Parker/Hardison, but I need to see it.

She definitely uses affectionate words from time to time with him - as affectionate as she can be.

Do you think he was the only one that saw Nate collapse?

Yeah, I do. I think he has the fighter's instinct about weakness and suspected, despite Nate's attempt to hide his injury. And Eliot often sees things no one else does, I think. They assume he doesn't, but he's brain as well as brawns. And also kitchen expertise. The man's awesome knows no bounds.

I love the way he gutted down and counted everyone out. He assessed the whole time and knew what he could do.

I also love the half-ponytail. The SO used to wear it sometimes in his long-haired days. Not so much now with the mohawk. But I still have a fondness for it.

There was a moment when I was all happy because every single person engaged in heavy activity had their hair in a practical ponytail. But then both Parker & Tara's hair was back down in the next scene. So hee.

What do adult people do to put up their hair? My hair is just now growing out again, but all the ways I know how to do it are schoolmarm and kiddie. I mean, I can rock the tiny bun. But that's really the only option I have these days. When I put it in a ponytail it looks perky but juvenile. What do normal people do?

I'm glad they didn't heal all wounds with the kiss, though.

Yeah, definitely this. I don't think I could get on board with them if they had. It's why I believe the show; it deals with the intricacies of human relationships a little more realistically.

I want Parker/Hardison bad. I want that journey.

Oh! Parker throttling Tara off the rooftop? Whew! I love me some Parker, I must say.

That was awesome. And when she was all, "Oh yeah, suuuuuure I wasn't really going to throw you off."

And Eliot taking out thirteen men with guns—while counting—was sweet.

I was terribly happy to see Sophie again, even though I grew to like Tara.

Lately, I've been braiding my hair - but when you are as gray as I am, I don't have to worry about looking like a kid.

I was terribly happy to see Sophie again, even though I grew to like Tara.

This is exactly how I felt.

when she was all, "Oh yeah, suuuuuure I wasn't really going to throw you off."

I'm glad Tara saw the truth in that.

"I hang from buildings by my fingertips."

Ooh, girl, you give me chills. Really, you're scarier than Eliot, because he has moral boundaries.

I was terribly happy to see Sophie again, even though I grew to like Tara.

This is exactly how I felt.

Me too. I didn't expect to not hate her, honestly, and I was cheering in the moment when I thought she was bad, but I was okay with her being a plant for Sophie.
