First...yay!  Sara lives.  Even if GSR is reporting that she's only going to be in a handful of episodes this season.  At least she's here for a bit longer.  Why is it whenever I find a couple to 'ship, that something like this always happens.  ~sigh~

I very much enjoyed seeing Sara so gungho on escaping.  Definitely not someone to lay down and take whatever's done to her.  Though I do wonder about the wisdom of her wandering so far away from the car.  Did she not trust that the team would find her?  

Oh, and I loved the "Hello, Gilbert" that she said over the phone in the Living Doll episode flashback.  Very cute.

Next week's promo looks interesting as Ecklie talks to both of them.  Two years vs. nine years....hmm...  Either something happened when Sara was a student or Gris has a different definition of "intimate," which knowing how his brain works, could very well be.  I wonder if we will ever see at least one kiss before Jorja Fox leaves.  'Twould be nice.

In the meantime, there's post-Dead Doll fic.  The first good one I've found is
The List by Kristen Elizabeth -- It was such a small thing, but so incredibly important. (found at ffnet)
A very nice little tale with lots of lovely moments between Sara and the rest of the cast.
