I think the serenade is so viscerally uncomfortable because it’s supposed to be. Choices by the cast and crew force you to sit in the intense vulnerability of the moment with the characters and confront it with them, one of the most overwhelmingly uncomfortable experiences in the world.

Many have pointed out that, on paper, the situation is objectively not that bad. Whistler can sing, it’s a fairly private location, there are max fifteen people who all know each other reasonably well and have some level of context for the situation, and no one except Lucy and Ernie are even aware anything is happening until halfway through. Sure, it’s unexpected and there’s a question of situational appropriateness, but Whistler’s misguided earnestness is endearing and her occasional inability to read a room is part of her charm.

But it's well established that Kate “my pantsuits are my armor” Whistler and Lucy “if you saw me crying, no you didn’t” Tara are extremely unwilling to be vulnerable in front of other people. They’ve made a lot of progress individually and particularly with each other – it’s probably the most significant character development across the season – but Officer “It’s only a flesh wound” and Special Agent “My heart would like to change the subject” still have a long way to go. This is still really hard for them.

Leading up to this scene, the writers go to great lengths to establish what is at stake. The question here is not, “does she love me?” Lucy and Kate both know the answer to that. Jane knows the answer to that. So do Ernie, Jesse, Kai, and probably the night security guard, the janitorial staff, and that one random extra who sits at the fourth desk in the bullpen. The question is, “is love a good enough reason to try again and risk getting hurt?” On some level, the audience, Ernie, and Lucy all know the answer to that too. It feels like an inevitability and Kate is really the only one who isn't aware of that.

This is where the acting and cinematography transform a foregone conclusion into a nausea inducing trip into Kate’s headspace. For the sake of comparison, consider the scene where Patrick serenades David in Schitt’s Creek. There are contextual differences in terms of situational appropriateness and relationship status, but otherwise the scenes are surprisingly similar. Look at the difference in presentation though:

Patrick is tucked in the corner of a low-ceilinged, well-lit room with his back to a wall. It’s a tight shot from a low angle to force a perspective that makes him appear larger than life. Noah Reid is relaxed and confident, and he has accompaniment. The guitar is in this with him, filling the silence and offering support. Even though David is vocally apprehensive, and his expression is inscrutable at best to start, everything about it feels safe.

Whistler, by contrast, is totally alone and completely exposed in the vast darkness. Tori has us trained by this point to understand this body language – the wringing hands, the unconscious attempts to make herself smaller, protect her center – means Kate is distraught. The shot is wide and angled down, which, coupled with height of palm trees and torches in the background, makes her look so small and fragile. And she’s completely unaccompanied, a solitary voice singing into the void. The whole situation feels extremely raw and incredibly vulnerable.

But that’s the situation, and we’re right there with her. There are only two options here and both are equally terrifying. One: Lucy says no, again, and leaves her exposed, alone in the dark with her broken heart in her hands. Two: Lucy agrees to try again. But the relationship they’re coming back to is not the one they left – they’ve said too many things they can’t take back. Things like, “you are responsible for safeguarding my heart and happiness because I love you” and, “concern for your wellbeing profoundly affects my executive function and, on some level, the value I place on my own life.” Things like, “your existence caused me to fundamentally reprioritize my life and turn my back on a decade of dreams without a second thought,” and, “I will keep showing up for you, over and over, without being asked and in ways you didn’t know you needed, because I love you even if I don’t have the words to say it and even if you don’t love me back.” You can’t go back to a fun, flirty, “whatever this is” after saying things like that. In their absence, the relationship has evolved into something different and much more serious.  

There’s a moment in all life-changing relationships, as they transition from something casual to something real, where you finally admit to yourself what you really want and what you’re willing to risk to get there. The most gut-wrenchingly terrifying thing to do is to then admit that to the other person, to ask for what you want. You have to expose yourself completely, admit how much you care, place your heart in their hands and hope they don’t let go. That’s where we are with Whistler in this scene. That’s the discomfort and uncertainty we’re being forced to sit in, and they honestly did an amazing job of bottling the “I need to throw my phone into a ravine and then back it over with a truck because I just admitted something that absolutely terrifies me and I don’t have the emotional bandwidth to handle the aftermath right now” feeling. Just took me a few days to really appreciate it.

I still can’t believe we got an interrogation scene where Kate wasn’t with any of the main cast. I wanted a scene like that but wasn’t sure we’d ever get that just based on cast billing.

I also love that she appealed to Alina’s humanity rather than threatening her.

Lucy saying “you dont choose who you love” I—

FIRST OF ALL, WE GET IT YOU’RE GAY #loveislove 🏳️‍🌈

SECOND OF ALL, the DRAMA with these two I literally canNOT!! Like…Kate pulling her into an interrogation about the power of love was ALREADY High Gay Drama. But Lucy playing into the LOOKS and the SUBTEXT. I will not rest until these idiots are together again

#I will say I truly love how this show doesn’t have them doing a coming out of the closet narrative #But yet to me it still feels like a queer story #Of secrets and repression and whatnot #And lines like this drive that shit home #Also lucy said LOVE present tense binches we’re almost there #kacy #ncis hawaii #lucy tara #kate whistler #whistara #lucy x kate #Spoilers #kacy spoilers #ncis hawaii spoilers

Lucy (amicably) punching SAC Curtis's arm was such a wonderful detail in that moment.

Because throughout the scene she'd been the supporter, the rock. She was there for Kate, trying to be the calm, down to earth, reassuring one, so Kate wouldn't freak out even more.

And the punch shows that Lucy was just as nervous. She had just been holding it in until that moment for Kate's sake. And it was only when she realized everything would be okay that she finally let her own nerves show.

[helloanxietyattack]

The implication that Kate has been cooking all those meals for Lucy because she wants to make sure that she's eating something other than pizza...

#tori ma'am that delivery #no one has ever made pizza sound so much like love #gah damn #ncis hawaii #kacy #kate whistler #lucy tara #ncis hawai'i spoilers #kacy spoilers #ncis hawaii spoilers

[northjet]

If you watch the serenade scene just focusing on Lucy’s reaction it’s interesting.

She is definitely caught off guard at first and seems a little put out by it but her expression changes slightly and she seems to soften and looks a little emotional by the time she seems to walk away.
