OVERALL OPINION I really, really loved this episode! It had some romance, humor, action and angst. The chemistry and interactions between Amanda Tapping (Samantha Carter) and Richard Dean Anderson (Jack O’Neill) were great. One of the most memorable scenes would be the ‘Sidearm’ scene. I thought the scene was very well placed - it was funny and romantic at the same time.

1) Awakening: When Jack awakens. She hurries over to him, very worried and she touches him regularly on his leg and arm. Nice interacting conversations.

2) Splint: Every time he screams out of pain, you can see she’s really feeling with him. She is really listening to him when he his telling his story. When he mentions his ex-wife Sara, she stops and looks at him - I think she feels sad she isn’t his wife. Throughout this scene she has tears in her eyes, she knows she hurting him, but it has to be done. She is also very tender with him. When he’s nagging about his frozen butt, she pulls him up with her hands, he than puts his arm around her. He jokes, she laughs, it’s just like old times.

3) DHD: Jack finds out he has a cracked rib, she’s worried again. Nice exchanges and some funny lines.

4) Soup: He’s cooking for her :). Well okay it’s melted ice but he says that his melted ice is to die for. When she’s babbling, he isn’t listening, when she notices he’s not listening, she’s not mad, but gives him a more understandable ‘human’ theory.

5) Dialing: She really is worried when he throws up blood, she feels guilty because she couldn’t get them out. She doesn’t want to stop working on the DHD and Jack’s says that the DHD will still be there tomorrow. Sam immediately responds with a question if he’ll (Jack) be still there tomorrow. You can see it’s tearing her apart. But our Sam is a strong woman, with tears in her eyes, she keeps fighting for them.

6) Sidearm: She’s laying with her head and upper body on his chest, while the rest of her body and her legs are pinned to the length of his. He says he finds it nice. She tells him that they are sleeping like this to get more warmth, he replies with an ‘Oh, is it that we’re doing?’ But then says it’s hard to sleep when someone’s laying on your broken ribs. She apologies and gets off him, snuggling her head and body against him. Than after a small silence with little cuddling.

S: Oh, Colonel.
J: It’s my sidearm, I swear. (Sam laughs at his quip and because they're so close together, his ribs jar.) No giggling, please.

7) Plan B: He calls her, she jumps down, afraid that something’s wrong with him. She tilts his head very tenderly and gives him water. She says that she should have got him out of there, and he answers with, ‘you will’, he trusts her with his life. She doesn’t want to leave him…yet. And there she goes touching him again.

8) Escaping:

J: Plan B go!
S: No Sir.
J: Please, Sam...

‘Sam’…he isn’t talking or asking an officer, nor a teammate but his friend…a very good one. She doesn’t want to go. You can see it hurts her to leave him behind.

9) Sara: She snuggles against him. Moving or rubbing her arm over his upper body.

J: Sara
S: I’m here, Jack.
J: Cold, so cold.
S: I know… It was an honor serving with you to Colonel

After this scene she puts her head very close to his ear and neck, trying to almost crawl into him!

10) The Rescue: The first thing she says when awakening is the condition of her Colonel. Sweet.
