How have I underestimated this scene for so long? It is so perfect, and has almost no dialogue.
Mac has just fired Aiden and his pain and anguish over losing who he considered a great CSI is remarkable. Stella knew what Aiden had done and knew her reasons, but still couldn't go against the rules, or Mac. When she sees Aiden leave the office with her head down, she decides to enter, and just asks "Are you okay?" , because even knowing that Mac had to respond objectively to what had happened, and that his position forced him to act like this, she knew that it hurt him to fire Aiden, she knew that his work led him to face situations in which he would have no intention of taking part. He answers "Yes", perhaps without believing it himself, and turns his head to the window to continue getting lost in the beautiful view of New York. But, seconds later, he turns his gaze to Stella, who kept hers on the floor. When she feels Mac's gaze, she raises her head and looks him closely in the eye. "Thanks," he says, with a half smile. Stella nods and leaves the office, leaving Mac appreciating the view of the city again.

¿Cómo he subestimado esta escena tanto tiempo? Es tan perfecta, y no tiene casi nada de diálogo.
Mac acaba de despedir a Aiden y su dolor y angustia por perder a quien consideraba una gran CSI es notable. Stella sabía lo que Aiden había hecho y conocía sus razones, pero aún así no podía ir en contra de las reglas, ni de Mac. Cuando ve a Aiden salir de la oficina cabizbaja, decide entrar, y solo pregunta "¿Estás bien?", porque aún sabiendo que Mac debía responder objetivamente a lo sucedido, y que su puesto lo obligaba a actuar así, sabía que le dolía despedir a Aiden, sabía que su trabajo lo llevaba a enfrentar situaciones en las que no tendría intenciones de tomar parte. Él le responde "Sí", quizás sin creérselo ni él mismo, y gira su cabeza hacia la ventana para seguir perdiéndose en la hermosa vista de Nueva York. Pero, segundos después, vuelve su mirada hacia Stella, quien mantenía la suya en piso. Cuando ella siente la mirada de Mac, levanta su cabeza y lo mira detenidamente a los ojos. "Gracias" dice él, con una media sonrisa. Stella asiente y se va de la oficina, dejando a Mac apreciando nuevamente la vista de la ciudad.
