CSI Level Two
I love the title guys, Mac and Stella are definitely 'office sex just waiting to happen'.
I think that Mac and Stella have spent Christmas and Thanksgiving together every year since 9/11, unless they were involved with someone. Neither has any family to spend it with, whereas the others do. Mac must have really needed someone to be with him for Thanksgiving and Christmas 2001, and I bet Stella was right there at his side, making sure he was ok. In s3, when Mac said he had plans this year, it wasn't 100% with P. Maybe he spent it with Reed, or with Stella. P. isn't American after all, maybe she visited England during Thanksgiving to see her family. And even if it was with P., I bet he spent every other Thanksgiving with Stella. That is 7 Thanksgivings since 2001, since the only one P. was there for was 2006 (s3).
Well, last season, between 4x15 and 4x19, EP had D/L 'fighting' because he forgot her birthday and she was annoyed with him for not letting her 'in' when he was hurting so much over Ruben's death. According to the spoilers re Lindsay being pregnant, she and Danny slept together at the end of 4x19 - when she got in the cab, she supposedly went to his place. The baby is the result of make-up sex. And now in s5, D/L are going to be shown to be 'together'. So I think M/S's fight will last either one episode (like Officer Blue) or just a few (like Danny and Lindsay's did in s4). I don't want it to last the whole season because it would get boring after a while. A few eps or just one ep of tension between them, ended with a make-up scene like at the end of Officer Blue, but with a hug and kiss this time, would be perfect. I think Mac and Stella would resolve their fight quickly because they wouldn't want it to affect their work, as it did with D/L. But a fight would bring them closer, because apparantly D/L's fight brought them closer (nothing between them at all up to 4x15, then they fight, and apparantly sleep together again in 4x19 and now in s5 we are to be shown they are 'together' again) and Mac and Stella's will do the same.
I can see Stella hiding Lindsay's pregnancy from Mac. Lindsay told Mac in 4x16 that she was stupid to get involved with Danny, and then she goes and does it again in 4x19, apparantly. That said, I hope the secret isn't that. I personally don't give a damn if Lindsay is pregnant, the only part of that storyline I will be interested to see is how Danny reacts to learning he's going to be a Daddy, and what he will do about Rikki. Maybe Stella keeps L's pregnancy secret from Mac because she wants Lindsay to take responsibility for her actions and tell him HERSELF. In season 3, Stella went with Lindsay to Mac's office so she could tell him she had to go to Montana, I think Lindsay told Stella earlier she had to go, and Stella agreed to hide it from Mac until Lindsay was ready to tell him herself. Also, perhaps Lindsay doesn't want Danny to know yet, and Stella doesn't want Mac to have to keep it from Danny too, so she is waiting for Lindsay to tell Danny. Lindsay treated Danny badly last season, and she really doesn't seem to know what she wants from their relationship, so maybe she wants Stella to keep her preganancy secret from ALL the guys for a while, not just Mac. But the spoiler says Stella is 'doing something' she is trying to hide from Mac, so maybe she is having a problem with a case with a personal connection (Greek man?) and she doesn't want Mac to know, same as the AIDs thing and the bloody t-shirt. I hope it isn't the pregnancy, I don't want that storyline anywhere near any SMacked stuff we get this season. Mac and Stella need their OWN storyline and their OWN reasons to have a fight/keep secrets. But if it is the pregnancy, I reckon Stella is Lindsay's sole confidant, she doesn't want anyone to know until she can tell Danny he's gonna be a dad. Because she should tell Danny first before any of the guys. So I see her saying to Stella 'Can you keep this to yourself until I work out how to tell Danny?'. And Stella would agree because she always covers for Lindsay and her mistakes but would feel bad about having to keep it from Mac, and also Danny.
