062. Spring Whoa! Talk about a plot twist -- that came out of left field! And to have Russo, of all people, as Blair's defender, was an interesting choice; just goes to show how well Blair has been accepted by/into the group.
063. Summer Using the prompt of "Summer" as a name was clever! :) She would have seemed much more fierce without the pink shoes. Hee! And the line about seeing the warrior inside the small feminine body reminded me of Buffy (whose last name was... Summers! Can I assume that's an intentional shout-out?) But jeez, what an ironic legal situation! This is obviously the big push they need to get them to confront the situation and deal with their relationship (like, actually TALK. Finally.) "We're not lovers," Blair snapped, and Jim's flinch was so small that Blair was sure that he was the only one who would have noticed it. But he did notice it, and took another step onto the clue bus. :)
064. Fall "Funny, I fell a long time ago," Jim answered. There's the moment we've been waiting for... my fluffy romantic heart turned to mush, right there. Lovely, just lovely. And I liked the realization that nothing had really changed. But... I don't understand why Blair was so quick to veto the idea of making it work in Phoenix. Why wouldn't it? They already have the support of Roth and the gang, right? If they go back to Cascade, they'd just be running away (again). And, as kaleecat already observed, they'd be returning to an environment where Jim and Blair were definitely not on an equal footing. Jim did say "Oh yeah, Chief. They want us back.", though, so maybe it won't be as bad as I think...
065. Passing Question: How did they handle the IA case? Did they stay and fight, with the Gay Alliance's help, for the principle of the thing? If not, many people would think that they ran away from the problem and the IA would win by default (and they'd feel free to hassle the next gay cop partnership that came along). I don't think either Blair or Jim would back down from that kind of fight, and I think it's important to tie up that plot thread here. He was going home. Looking up at the red mountains with their streaks of grey and dots of green trees, Blair had a feeling that he had finally listened to the universe whisper. "Thank you," he whispered back. OK, if Blair's happy about returning to Cascade, I can be happy for him. :)
