CSI Level Three
I admit that i am an EC shipper, but clearly she will not be happy and honest and in love until she breaks down the walls and lets people in. This is more about than breaking down Cal for Eric, (although it is the inevitable), its about breaking her down so she can have a lasting relationship with ANY man. Try looking at the big picture before speculations.
AMEN!!
I am a HUGE E/C shipper but I still see WHY the writers are doing this. Of course I am going to say it is to further E/C but at the same time her character was in need of some massive development. I really feel that of all the characters hers sort of stayed stagnant and on an even keel. While everyone elses lives were in turmoil she stayed totally cool
And it is understandable b/c she is the 'rock' of the team. She is there for everyone and protects everyone around her but sooner or later something has to give.
In her case, development is the breaking down of these walls so she can express emotions, love and let people in like you said.
That is her biggest character flaw (although the writers would probably tell you it is her character's biggest trait) is that she is too closed off and robotic and covered in armor to protect her from the everyday things of life. That's not a way to live and in order for her to move forward for ANY reason, she needs to have those walls broken down.
