okay I was talking to a myoot about this a few weeks ago. the absolute sisyphean weight that GA is carrying in this scene because. this is? three seconds of film? and she manages to convey that 1. sheâs proud and excited to tell him that she has a date, 2. she wants to appear aloof while doing so, 3. she wants to see how he reacts to this knowledge, then immediately 4. sheâs a little embarrassed at having felt all those things because theyâre flirty and not professional, so 5. she tries immediately to get a handle on herself and return to being Professional Scully.
