Thinking about the dynamic between Keeley and Jamie throughout episode 8, and while much has been made of the accountability aspect, what I also find really interesting and compelling is the level of trust. We’ve seen that often from Jamie’s side in the series but not as often from Keeley’s, and it’s the latter that’s most on display throughout this episode.

Putting this under a cut for length (aka the result of overthinking and insomnia) and gifs:

Gonna start from the beginning.

It’s not like Keeley doesn’t know who she sent the video to. Of course she knows. Yet, she doesn’t jump to anger or betrayal, both of which would be perfectly understandable. “Shit. How did that get on the internet? A private video that —” is what she asks to herself (she’s then cut off by Jack).

She’s upset, but what she is most is baffled. She’s wracking her brain to think of a reason it would be out there. The idea that Jamie would leak it of his own accord is so improbable as to not even cross her mind, or else confusion as to how it got out wouldn’t be the salient emotion.

Then we get her odd order of priorities as to who would see the video. Family and friends first — then the team. Not the office, of which she’s the boss, that comes last.

Some of that is likely embarrassment/reputation, especially because the team is all men, but not the entirety. Personally, I think there’s another element of realizing that even though people may not put it together that it came from Jamie’s email, he was a victim in all of this as well. Not to mention the Roy of it all, which, as we found out, did not go well.

Speaking of which, her reaction right before this is quite reminiscent of her reaction in 1x03 regarding the photos of her and Ted:

Whether that’s intentional or not I don’t know, but nevertheless, both instances are intricately tied to Jamie. In 1x03, she says, “Jamie would have been so pissed off with reporters poking around in our love life.” While in this case it was hackers who leaked the material (though reporters wrote about it), the concept is the same: people poked around in their love life.

Then we get to Jamie finding out about it.

At first, he’s just got the same sort of sympathy/confusion that the rest of the team has. However, it’s quickly followed by dawning horror as he has the realization of, “Oh fuck. The emails.” Fabulous acting by Phil there, both with the face journey as well as the nervous fidgeting that manifests with the aforementioned realization.

As a side note, I also find the framing of that shot interesting.

Sure, it’s the furthest thing from a secret that Jamie and Keeley dated. But that was two years ago. Will wasn’t even there. I’d think they’d look at Roy long before they looked at Jamie, particularly because the video doesn’t appear to be timestamped. For all they know, Keeley sent the video to Roy, or even Jack. Jamie had just gotten done telling everyone his policy of deleting exes’ photos and videos and here is a leak of a video from one of his exes, so it might be that they find it a strange coincidence. But they’re not looking at him accusingly; they’re concerned, almost wary, checking for his reaction. Idk, it’s just a curious directorial choice to have his teammates focus on him.

(Unrelated, the fact that Keeley’s method of distracting herself from the situation being making designs out of sprinkles I think is so cute.)

Something I also like about all of this, and which no doubt contributes to Keeley’s confidence in Jamie, is that while we have to take him at his word that he deleted stuff from his phone since we’re not privy to it, it’s believable — he’s walked the walk for the public stuff, so it would track that he’d do so for the private stuff, too. This is his locker while they were together:

Full of photos of her (and only her), photos that from her conversation with Rebecca we know she gives the green light for. Those photos were her choice, they were in magazines anyone could find. They weren’t personal photos, even though it’s safe to assume she sent Jamie plenty of those. Is it the classiest of displays to have in one’s locker? Obviously not. He could have put up pictures where she’s more clothed, or pictures of the two of them. But there’s nonetheless a level of respect there in that those are photos she signed off on. And more importantly:

This is the very next episode after she breaks up with him. There are no photos of her at all; he’s taken every one of them down because she’s no longer his girlfriend and so it would be inappropriate to keep them up. (Yes, that’s like the bare minimum of decency, but Jamie was at peak asshole at that point. I don’t think anyone would’ve been surprised if he kept them up.)

Moving on to the ending. Here she is right before he shows up:

A mix of anger, frustration, and sadness. Between the video itself, Roy’s shitty response, and the presumed breakup with Jack, she’s had a really rough time of it. She definitely doesn’t look to be in the mood for visitors. Yet this is her response to seeing Jamie on her doorstep:

(And his in return, which I’m including for no other reason than that it’s adorable.)

After all that emotional turmoil and the knowledge that the video came from Jamie, that’s how she looks at him. She’s delighted. Why? Because, again, there is no doubt in her mind that he didn’t do it voluntarily. She may not know why he still had the video available to be hacked, not until he explains it to her, but ultimately that part doesn’t matter. What matters is that not only did he not leak it on purpose, but he hasn’t watched it since (or shortly after) they broke up. She trusts him unconditionally. Even when he tells her that his email password was “password,” she’s not pissed off or devastated. At worst, she’s exasperated.

Should he have had a better password? Of course. But it’s still not his fault. He was hacked, alongside a bunch of other people. There may even be explicit photos or videos of Jamie himself that got leaked.

Lastly, most poignantly of all, is her reaction after he gets done apologizing.

Roy and Jack both said they were sorry she’s in this situation, that it sucks, etc., but they both subsequently dropped the ball. Jack wanted her to apologize for something Keeley shouldn’t have to apologize for, and Roy’s insecurities and jealousy made the situation about himself when he asked her who she sent it to (which I don’t think was OOC or makes him a bad person, for the record, as I talked about here). Jamie was the only one of her past significant others who handled things correctly.

(I’d also like to point out that instead of deciding not to have the conversation at all due to him being too nervous to text her, he comes to her house to have the conversation in person.)

He acknowledged the shittiness of the situation, asked her how she was holding up, apologized for something that wasn’t even his fault, didn’t allow her to let him off the hook, overexplained why he still had the video, and if anything expected a negative reaction. So, although this may not have happened if Jamie had had a stronger password or remembered to delete the emails, he’s the only one of the three who gets a smile and a hug that they both needed.

And it is exactly that — what they needed. Even in her conversation with Rebecca (who was certainly a great friend), Keeley was feeling unsure. She didn’t know whether she should feel ashamed and regretful or not. Which makes sense, of course; not just because of the video itself, but because of the person it was sent to. Her and Jamie’s relationship crashed and burned, Keeley was a different person then, someone she wasn’t proud of, and she thought she’d put all that behind her. To have it all dredged up, be reminded that once upon a time he was the one she wanted to send videos to must have made her feel incredibly conflicted.

So to have not only anyone but Jamie in particular shoulder the “blame” and validate her without any qualifying of it, who understands because even though it was her video, he was the one who was hacked and thus would have a similar feeling of violation, well, the relief would’ve been — and, as we saw, was — overwhelming. Not only that, but Jamie is the only one in her life who knew her before the series began. Before Ted came into the picture, before she was friends with Rebecca, before she dated Roy, before she became the boss. Jamie’s been there through it all, for better or worse. And he’s gone through a parallel pattern of growth. Seeing him on her doorstep contrite and commiserating? It provided her a sort of grounding post amidst the chaos.

I just love the way all of this played out. That Jamie feels the gravity of what happened and his inadvertent role in it, and that at no point does Keeley think he did it on purpose.

She’s always had unwavering faith in him, and this is a beautiful example as to why.

This is, like, a new thing for me since I'm usually a binge reblogger and am trying to kick the habit. So if it seems like I missed/ignored a tag, it might just be chilling in the queue. (Or Tumblr didn't notify me which is also a thing but a queue ain't gonna fix that. 😂)

More than your Doctor

so this is weird and scary because ii haven't really written much fanfiction since high school, so to say that i am rusty at this is a vaast understatement buut... i thought i'd give it a go. 🤷‍♀️

but imagine you and zayne are in a relationship, things are going well, until one day he starts acting the way he did when he first became your doctor, clinical and clipped. you try to hound him for an answer as to why but between both of your busy work schedules the chances for seeing each other in person are slim, and the responses to phone calls and texts are far and few between. eventually you decide to confront him about it, refusing to let him just push you away like you weren't falling in love with him, not that you're ready to admit that quite yet.

his office is empty when you first arrive, papers strewn across the table as if he was looking through them before dropping them to leave in a hurry. you hear a buzz then a soft thud and see his phone had fallen off the edge of the desk, you pick it up and put it back, seeing the last message you left flash up unanswered.

you sigh.

"y/n? what are you doing here?" you hear his voice from the doorway and spin to face him.

"zayne, hey, i thought we should talk,"

"is it a medical matter you wish to speak about?" he asks like... like a doctor.

"no, it's about us. what's going on? are we okay? did i upset you somehow?" he walks over to you, still a few steps away, just close enough to where you could reach out and touch him, but his mood and tone make you hesitate and you hate it.

"nothing's going on, just a busy day." he fixes his glasses.

"zayne please, you've been acting so strange for days now, i just-"

"do you still want me as your doctor?" he questions so abruptly you shake your head in surprise.

"what? why?"

"because..." now he glances to the floor, swallows, "because i can't continue being your doctor if we're going to continue our relationship, it's a conflict of interest, i would be too emotionally invested, it would be too dangerous. you need to decide if you want me..." he trails off, finally looking at your now teary eyed face, and his solid expression falters.

hurt and hope and fear swirl through you so fast it makes you dizzy, you do your best to push it all down as you ask, "what do you want?"

he starts fidgeting, "i- what i want doesn't matter. you're the patient. it's up to you."

he's scared. scared of what your answer will be, scared that this will be how and where your relationship ends. he wants this to work just as much as you do, you know that, you know him, as scary as that might be for him to admit. so that's what this has been about.

instead of replying with words you close the gap between you, stand on top toes, arching your arms around his neck to pull his lips to yours.

"mm," he murmurs on a small gasp of surprise. it only lasts a second before he's wrapping his arms around your waist, pulling you closer, tighter, your fingers sink into the hairs at the nape of his neck, holding him to you, never wanting to let him go.

you part breathlessly, and giggle at zayne's glassy eyed look, "does that answer your question?" you continue before he has the chance to respond, "i want you, zayne. just you."

Prior to Irminsul's cleansing and the consequent elimination of the illness, Zulaikha does suffer from Eleazar. It primarily effects the backs of her hands and wrists, with up to about a quarter of the way up the back of her forearm and grey, almost necrotic skin reaching just a little further than that. Having been born with it, the nerve damage is pretty extensive-- as a result, a lot of her fine motor skills with her hands are almost nonexistent, and her combat style involves bigger movements using gross motor skills instead. And that goes for most things, really. For simple and small things like turning a page or anything of the sort, she must often move her whole arm since her hands and wrist are numb and largely unresponsive. Her fingers have some limited movement to them, but due to the large muscles around them being effected, it's not much. Things like writing or using utensils are also difficult for her. She can understand her own incredibly shaky and inconsistent handwriting, but good luck to anyone else trying to read it.

Due to her incredible dislike for gloves/fabrics in general, though, Zulli does not wear gloves or otherwise conceal her Eleazar. Of course, she can't really feel the annoyance of fabric on the afflicted areas, but the undersides of her arms and palms of her hands still bear hypersensitivity, so she still doesn't cover it up unless she absolutely has to. And even then, she'll complain-- it already hurts like hell to suffer Eleazar to begin with, so why does she have to torment herself more with tactile sensory overload?

As for the progression of her Eleazar. Naturally, there is no stopping it, but he regularly visits the Bimarstan for whatever pain treatments they can offer when it becomes too much to bear. She has also learned from the Forest Rangers how to prepare medicine using Nilotpala Lotuses to recover her energy, especially while she's traveling-- and she makes semi-regular trips to the forests to help alleviate symptoms as well.
