Top 5 rizzoli and isles moments? (Love that you love them as much as I do!)
1. This might sound grim, but Hoyt attacking them in prison. That was the episode that made it click for me. Hoyt following his M.O. (hurting the wife and making the “husband” watch before he killed them) wasn’t subtle at all and seeing Jane go completely feral to defend her girlfriend Maura really did it for me. That episode did set a precedent for absolutely no emotional aftermath by having them attend that god-awful horse-themed birthday party, though.
2. The wedding fantasies talk. LOOK, if any viewer had been living in denial up until this scene, this surely couldn’t have made it more obvious. They were, and I can’t stress this enough, lying on a mattress together. Jane was wearing that tank top. They were having wine. Sasha had a cold, so Maura’s voice was particularly low. And then they were talking about their DREAM WEDDINGS in such an intimate tone. By the time Jane turned around to face Maura I couldn’t breathe anymore. The moment I punched the wall was when Maura, referring to Jane’s hypothetical wedding, asked “Can I come?”. FUCK! ME! Ignoring all innuendo that could be drawn from that line alone, what do you mean “can I come”???????????? YOU’D THE OTHER BRIDE, YOU IDIOT
3. The episode where they make up after Jane shot Doyle. It hurt to see them hurting, ngl, but the whole bitchy, 3rd-grade feud, atmosphere of that episode amuses me. AND THEN THEY ALMOST DIE. That shit was so intense and even though you knew they wouldn’t kill off any of their leads, I was still on the edge of my seat. Jane protecting Maura when leaving the car while it was being shot at? Nice. Her propping Maura up by the butt? Nicer. Them hiding in the woods, Maura telling Jane to take her shirt off and Jane having to perform SURGERY on Maura’s leg with a SHARD OF GORILLA GLASS?? Poetic cinema. Maura saving them with her drowsy morse code? Amazing.Them fully making up later on and Jane nuzzling into Maura’s neck? I cried a little. I realize this is several moments, but what can I say? I’m a rule breaker (just gave myself a giggle with that LIE).
4. The I Kissed a Girl episode. Do you realize this ICONIC episode was the 6th episode of the FIRST season?? The queerbaiting got more ridiculous as the show went on, but they knew what they were doing from the start and we fell for it like the representation-starved women we are and you know what, I’d probably still fall for it today because I’m WEAK. That episode was literally about a lesbian bar murder. We had Jane and Maura discussing lesbianism and what kind of women they’d like; Them falling asleep in bed together; Jane going on “””fake””” dates with women; Jane being kissed on the neck by a woman and going to Maura for her to swab it (!); Maura telling Jane about the health benefits of sex. I mean. That was the full gay package.
5. I like tommy a lot, but I love you was how I lost all ability to produce coherent thoughts for HOURS. Even to me, who thinks it’s totally fine to say “I love you” to friends, that was a tad much if you’d die on the “they’re just best friend forever” hill. Telling your friends you love them is awesome. Doing so when you’re trying to establish you’re not romantically interested in someone else is ROMANTIC and you can fight me. In conclusion, they were gay and TNT, Janet Tamaro, Jan Nash and Angie Harmon owe me financial compensation for my troubles. Not Sasha, she’s an angel.
