He could very well be a little attracted to her- after all, she's pretty and smart. But he's never seemed drawn to her strongly enough to really pursue it, particularly since they can barely talk without bickering.

It's possible that he feels like he *should* be finding her attractive to fit into the mold Daddy Dearest is trying to shove him into, whether he actually does honestly find her attractive or not. But no matter how many steps it looks like he's taking to get away from dad's plans, they are (mostly) baby steps, and sometimes he would fall back into established patterns. "Pretty, intelligent, single woman, must flirt or at least pretend to be interested in her."

(Don't mind me, I'm just babbling as I think things out out loud. *g*)

I was surprised by how much I liked AYNOHYEB.

Me, too! What wonderful moments that ep had: from Danny flipping out on Martin to bringing back creepy Spaulding for his trial to Jack having a crisis of conscience to Martin maybe finally getting his point across to his dad to that wonderful little partnership bonding moment of a shoe conversation. *g*

Here I was, all disappointed that we got a clip show with only three new eps left, and it turned out to be this wonderful piece of work.

Oh yeah. ::happy sigh:: Think I should rewatch it again tonight. *bg*
