Sorry about the spam. But I'm catching up and just can not handle the squee.

O HAI! I love how much talking & walking There is in this ship - James & Alesha Are to
West Wing kind of OTP.
The Blue Cardigan of Love, of course.
They Are Up Against Lesley Manville, so this case is gonna be a bitch. But hey! Look at the James is casting glances Alesha's way!
I made her smile! Freema's smile is still the best thing ever.
And They Go investigate the case together. PROPER PARTNERS. Much squee ensues.
The witness says "
you can not switch-off loving someone" and There Are all sorts of looks and thoughtful expressions significativa OR AM I READING TOO MUCH INTO THIS.
There's another conversation about the Accused Conducting a secret affair and I swear Alesha put on the strangest expression When talking about "breaking off Things." My own subtext is confusing me.
Then Alesha goes Investigating on her own and she has THE BEST OUTFIT EVER. No really, wardrobe peoplez, You are da bomb.
Then Alesha and James go investigating together (OMG PARTNERS!!!) and they meet guest star Sean Pertwee. Amazingly enough, Freema doesn't mention the Doctor to a direct relative, wtf?
Alesha seems affected by Sean Pertwee's story about the prostitute -the killer- wanting to end their affair. Yeah, I don't know either, I'M MAKING IT WITH MY MIND.
Lots of meaningful subtexty talk about affairs and \

Alesha is pretty good at
What she does and HAS AN IDEA. Please, behold EYESEX HST.
Teh steal = I fucking love the British legal system. Alesha is appalled by sexism in court. Freema looks soooooooo pretty.
MORE EYE! SEX across the leather couches of love. These two, aw ...
The Accused is Changing her testimony. Woo. I love Alesha'S body language, Bill Patterson Ignoring completely.
The killer Changes declaration and now says her rape and self-defense. The prosecution is fucked. Alesha Proceeds to eye! Fuck James as a solution.
Yep, They Are Fucked.
EXCEPT! That Alesha has the AMAZING POWER OF RESEARCH, and saves the day. That Makes 2 in 3 cases. Oh, James, What Have You Done To Deserve her?
James absolitely kills it in the trial. He shines. This calls for Some eye! Sex. And so eye! Sex ensues.
GUYS I LOVE THE LAST SCENE MORE THAN I CAN SAY. I love that it ends with them walking & talking, ready for another round of fighting the good fight. I love that they are totally the moral centre of the show. Not James. Not Alesha. James and
Alesha. They are the White Knights of the show. I love how the scene is shot, how isolated they seem from the rest of the world. They are a totally \
