Why This Must Be Read: There are quite a few SG-1 episodes which all but beg for post-ep stories addressing team-healing. Of the many episode tags that have been written for these, this is one of my favourites. This is the immediate continuation of 'Shades of Grey' that I would've liked to have seen on-screen ... it's sensitively and intelligently written, and in treating the subject matter and the characters seriously and with the insight and respect due them, it provides the ultimately satisfying resolution the episode so greatly needed. Absolutely stellar.
His plan was locker room, shower, out. The empty SG-1-shaped spaces around him left him feeling untethered and unreal and wondering when he’d started depending on them being there. Not the time to dwell on it. Later. He wanted a drink but knew walking into a bar would be a mistake. He was primed for a fight, which made going out in public career suicide. He was meant to be resuming a position of responsibility at the SGC, soothing fears and keeping up morale. He’d need discipline, patience and an even temper. Tapped out and thin-skinned was not part of the brief. Suck it up, Airman.
Swinging through the locker room door, Jack almost ran into Teal’c. The Jaffa was planted, immovable and implacable, directly in his path. Jack stopped. In an eye blink, options spooled through his head: evade, confront, mock, retreat; in the end, he went with none of them. He waited, eyes fixed straight ahead and slightly unfocused.
