Rizzoli on Isles - “Random hetero moments”

the way kent asks if there is an issue if someone from the ME’s office and the police department date, after saying maura and jane have an interesting relationship makes me crazy !! LIKE WHAT WAS THE REASON ??? he never expressed interest in anyone in bpd (that i can recall) like OP said it’s like they wanted kent to be the one to make maura realize her romantic feelings for jane but the writers decided not to 😩

I like Susie so much more than Kent, but the one interesting thing he brings is a pair of fresh eyes on the whole Maura/Jane thing.

I'm all for the headcanon that Maura starts to realize her feelings for Jane with the Casey proposal and baby business, but I do also believe she's able to write it off as fear for the loss of her friendship and just intense platonic connection until Jane jumps off the bridge at the end of season 5. So, this early season 6 stuff reads to me as Maura finally reckoning with the extent of her romantic feelings for Jane and trying to figure out how Jane feels about her so she doesn't lose her.

Enter Kent and whatever this conversation is.

Honestly, it feels like Kent is being an instigator here, trying to get Maura to just say something by hinting that he's going to try to go after her detective. Because come on, he definitely knows Jane's hers. Plus, Kent doesn't ever show any genuine interest and he and Jane have a major lack of chemistry. Honestly, despite the distraction kiss with Maura and whatever this thing is with Jane, he is nowhere near a threat to rizzles because there's just... nothing there. If the purpose of bringing him in was for potential romance, count that as a major flub.

I kind of doubt his role was meant to be a catalyst for Maura and Jane to realize feelings for each other (in a very subtle, 'lets-not-scare-off-the-hets' way), but he kind of does that. At least for me. Now, I don't think this is the only way they could've done it and I think Susie may've been an even better vehicle for that information to be delivered. Like the joy I would've felt if it was Susie who was like "hey you guys are not doing regular friendship, even my weird nudist boyfriend wouldn't do half of what you guys do for each other." Maybe they hang out once or twice outside of work and it makes Susie realize. I don't know.

Anyway, Maura is so in love with Jane and there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that Kent has figured that out and is indeed messing with Maura here. These two conversations make no sense otherwise. Plus, Maura just did Kent a favour in helping him get over his fear of talking to the families that inhibits his professional life. Why not think of it as Kent returning the favour by helping her get over the fear that limits her personal life?

OH BOY i never thought of the survivors guilt moment like that 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 i love when people interpret their scenes and break them down especially in ways i haven’t thought of

You know, Rizzoli & Isles is interesting. There are moments where the characters are completely in denial about how they feel about each other. But then there are moments where they themselves are very self-aware and can't ignore their own feelings.

Another one of those moments is when Jane jumps off that bridge in 5x12. They frame it as Maura simply being afraid because she almost lost her best friend Jane. But then Maura herself shows awareness of believing it being more than that.

She's so overcome she almost starts crying when she hugs Jane after she is found and then walks off because she was scared she almost lost Jane.

Then Maura herself pretty much tells us she was struggling with her feelings towards Jane almost dying again in front of her eyes. And Maura being Maura she basically tells us in her Maura way that she was looking for a logical explanation for her feelings that wasn't her simply being in love with Jane while being in a relationship with a dude.

It's in everything in that conversation between Jane and Maura after Jane is found. It's in the way Maura looks at Jane, that same look she gave Jane on that bridge only now that they're alone she isn't trying to hide it at all. It's in what she says to Jane, it's in her mannerisms. Everything in that scene screams "I'm in love with you and I don't know what to do with myself because of it."

And then Jane tells her it's survivor guilt and that drives home what's been going through Maura's mind. Because then Maura puts distance between her and Jane, hell she puts a whole desk between her and Jane after she first says "Excuse me?" followed by "Why didn't I think of that?" in this thoughtful way that underlines that she was attributing her strong emotions to being in love with Jane. But now has a more logical explanation to grasp onto as well as being once again clear on the fact that she and Jane aren't on the same page.

And Jane was doing so well too, buying Maura her favorite super expensive perfume. I am convinced that if Jane had asked Maura out in that moment or had confessed romantic feelings for Maura and expressed an interest in pursuing a romantic relationship with her Maura would have either said "yes" or "I need to think about it because I'm in love with you and loving you means being accepting of the dangers that come with your job and I need time to accept that" or something.

This show, it's always Maura that's aware that she's in love with Jane and Jane being the one that's in denial.

But it's so interesting because Jane is not completely oblivious. She has extremely quick wit and is insanely observant. She is a detective and excellent at her job. She can draw correct conclusions with a single look in anyone's direction and even more so when it comes to people she knows and loves. Unless her own limiting beliefs and assumptions get in the way that is. There is a reason Jane bought Maura her favorite insanely expensive perfume to say sorry and not something else. She knows Maura is in love with her and she didn't need her mother to spell Maura's feelings about her out to her. She did need someone to back up the "Maura's feelings are just friendly" story she's been telling herself though and her mother did just that.

i love bones but it makes me sad that booth and brennan are *literally* jane and maura but rizzles wasn’t canon cuz they’re women

The FBIs DC hockey team, which is apparently named “Fed Cases”, has two players who tend to take exception when the other team plays dirty. This lands them both in the penalty box often and gives their spouses headaches.
