I will be missing this episode live due to... things happening but I hope everyone will enjoy a GREAT one. *fingers crossed*

I will accept the title of 'Worst Shandy Shipper Ever' but I'm not at all excited about the 'close the door' scene. That's it? That was the big development? Seriously? Obviously TPTB and the actors need a lesson in teasers, because what they say and what we see are very different. We get far better Shandy moments when they are not spoiled.

As a "please god anything but shandy" shipper, I was quite pleased it didn't go any further than that.
And I liked Sharon telling Andy she didn't need him to fight her battles.

I also enjoyed her being pissed off throughout most of the episode :D

Other than that, it was all a bit tame.

I'm not a shandy shipper myself so It was amusing that we got a "teaser" conversation. I'm thinking Sharon is finding that she better face this head on instead of pretend that Andy and She are just friends. Andy is OBVIOUSLY enamoured of her. I think it's to her benefit to set perameters on the relationships effects on their work. I'm still not sure she's as into him as he is to her. I'm just not getting any chemistry with this pairing.

I did think Andy's anti Sanchez stance was a little odd since Sharon was insistant that Julio return to the squad and had fought with Taylor over it. If they were that close I would think Andy would be aware of her position.

On a side note, I think Malcom Jamal Warner is settling into the Cooper character finally and what a change to Julio. It was like Zen Sanchez.

It's also interesting that in a recent interview I read - either she or James Duff pointed out that of the two of them - Sharon is the one who's more aware of their relationship (or the possibility thereof) than Andy - who's apparently head-over-heels without realizing it. LOL
