And he tests her - sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. The Fortescue Incident is one of those tests. I am not sure he is jealous, but more interested than may be appropriate and not sure or willing or able to see why. Of course, she comes through with flying colors because she is brilliant but also for reasons that I don't think are consciously acknowledged to either of them.

JHyde - I like that idea: 20/20 hindsight. I think they are both either too stunted to make the full connection until it is too late. The show talks a lot about keeping their personal out of their professional. When that overlaps in their profession, it can be very disconcerting and sometimes even dangerous. Rather than a series of moments in which they gradually realize whats happening, it is more like a series of moments with which they are smacked over the head with an anvil and don't know how to react because its so foreign and out of the work context.

Sorry to think aloud.
