Re: Anna/Lindsay thread #4 - "You've got friends, kiddo!"
I loved the whole car boot scene too. And one thing I noticed is that she didn't seem pretty bothered by Danny at all when she's working until Mac brings it up. So I think she's trying to compartmentalise her work and personal life too - it's just when Danny's around, or something brings it up that she just shuts down.
Okay, maybe shuts down isn't the correct phrase, more like she just retreats into herself. I think her whole "it was stupid to get involved with someone I work with" line didn't really have anything to do with Mac, but more so that she was trying to convince herself of that fact. Still, I don't think she believes it though.
It's hard enough that there's the possibility that Danny doesn't feel the same way about her, but the fact that she has those feelings for him, it hurts that she can't just will them away with a crinkle of the nose. Hopefully whatever course of action the writers take, it betters Lindsay's character too and doesn't reduce her in any way.
If she and Danny reconcile, I hope that the past isn't swept under the rug and that was do see a reluctance in her to trust him the way she used to. If the writers are trying to make things "realistic", let's hope they don't stop just when they really need it.
