Emma, laughing: Bottoms up. They clink bottles and Charlie is about to drink. Emma: Wait! You have to look me in the eye. Otherwise, it’s seven years of bad sex. Emma laughs as Charlie maintains eye contact with her, and they quickly down the content of their bottles. The scene changes to them on the couch, asleep and cuddling.]

“...Why are you telling me all this?”

“Because I love you too.”

/ Honestly, I'm so hyped about this show, the premise is promising (con-man meeting and falling in love with an undercover agent) and I love the chemistry between Charlie and Emma.

Charlie and Emma + "Why are you gazing into each other's eyes?" (If that doesn't work out, Saville and Galen with the same quote)

Oh, it works, vod. It DEFINITELY works

“Why are you gazing into each other’s eyes?”

“We’re not,” Charlie answered, which was wholly untrue. His brown eyes held Emma’s like a magnet, the warmth in them taking her breath away. The tiniest hint of a smile lurked at the corner of his mouth.

“This isn’t going to work, you know,” she half-whispered.

“Worth a shot.”

“I don’t give in that easily.”

“Not even for me?”

“Not a chance.” Reluctantly tearing her gaze away from him, Emma looked down at the game board, and moved her last piece. “Checkmate.”

Charlie’s groan was drowned by Bird’s laugh, and Emma glanced up to see her boyfriend’s sister giving her an approving grin. “Not bad. He needed taking down a peg or two.”

“You’re just bitter because I beat you last time we played,” Charlie shot back. Glancing at Emma, he raised an eyebrow. “Rematch?”

Unable to squelch her grin, Emma said, “If you feel like getting beat again, sure.”

The laugh he let out, eyes crinkling and a warm grin crossing his face, felt like the real victory

I love these two ❤❤❤

Having seen the Daphne/Charlie kiss, I am unbothered and unmoved.

I think Charlie cares for Daphne insofar as she has divulged enough humanity for him to recognize a kindred spirit on some level.

But Charlie was stiff as a board during the kiss, the passion one-sided, with him pulling away almost as quickly as she initiated it. Why?

Four reasons.

One, because to get romantically involved with a member of the criminal enterprise he just dug himself and his family out of their reluctant tangential association with is an all-around bad idea.

Two, to be with Daphne fully aware of her ambitions via illegal means is the stark opposite of the straight and narrow life he's considering leading.

Three, Charlie is an honorable man with a good heart who balks at the duplicity of giving into intimacy with Daphne when he's aiding in a conspiracy to incriminate her.

Four, because of Emma.

"If he can't see you - I mean, like, really see you, appreciate that - I say, screw him, you know?," is a line Charlie says to Daphne to ease the sting from her father's rejection of her. Beneath the contextual surface, coupled with the frustration he unloads at Emma for her (allegedly, to him) continued blind eye to his motives, his overtures are not about Daphne. It is not Daphne he wants to understand him; it's a plea for Emma to see him, see that his love for her is and has always been genuine, secrecy notwithstanding.

Here, with Daphne, Charlie is his usual reserved self. With Emma? Whatever tight lid he tamped down on his emotions to stay focused blew clean off with the force of a lit match in a gas leak. She has always been the one to unravel him.

I do feel sorry for Daphne. Underneath her dispassionate bravado is a woman seeking familial love. It is tragic for her to experience the double whammy of the one person in her vicinity who seems to care for her rejecting her, too, before learning he's been working against her with the feds. Though her feelings are clearly hurt, sympathy for Daphne isn't inspiring me to ship her with Charlie.

Despite the muddied waters of mistrust and misunderstanding keeping Emma and Charlie from reconnecting, he loves her, and she loves him, and so they are whom I am rooting for.

As a matter of romantic chemistry, a few silent seconds of tense longing gazes shared between Emma and Charlie surpass whole episodes of Daphne and Charlie working cons for me. I still believe that, not only do Emma and Charlie hold the key to each other's happiness, they can shape each other into better people. If nothing else, their love is as present and visceral as ever, obstacles immaterial. And that further helps me settle the question of whom to ship.

Daphne and Charlie make an effective team when their interests align for the job they're working on, and it's been good seeing her open up about her past and current turmoil as she navigates a family unwilling to welcome her as their own. As long as they stay on the same side, I'd like to see them become genuine friends. They do have an interesting push-pull to their dynamic (even more so when the Morality Gradient Comparison includes Emma as a data point), but it isn't one I want to see a romantic relationship emerge from.

I guess one's interest depends on a matter of perspective intrigue. Do you prefer to potentially watch Charlie influence Daphne to her better angels (or Daphne appeal to the devil on his shoulder), or would you rather theoretically see Emma and Charlie harness the good in each other and work through the flaws as an honest couple?

When put in those terms, I suppose Daphne/Charlie is a fair dynamic to want to see play out through the complexities of a romantic angle.

For me, though, pound for pound, it's still Team Hiletti all the way.

The Company You Keep || A Sparkling Reputation

[Image Description: Ten stacked gifs from The Company You Keep.

Emma: Look, we don’t need to do this. Charlie: Do what? Emma: Put pressure on this to be anything more than what it is. Charlie: I’m sorry. What is this? Emma: Two emotionally unavailable people with a strong physical connection clearly on the rebound. Charlie looks at her confused. Emma laughs in disbelief. Emma: Come on, Charlie. We met and hooked up within hours of our last relationships blowing up. You don’t think this is all a bit fast? Charlie: No, I -- I think sometimes you meet the right person at the wrong time. He laughs. Charlie: I mean, where is all this coming from? Emma: I’m just calling it like it is. Charlie: No, I -- I think you’re throwing a grenade into this because you’re scared. Tell me I’m wrong. Believe me, I know that trick. Emma: I get that you think you know me or whatever, but the truth is you don’t. Don’t pretend like you do.]

I am LOVING “The Company You Keep” even more with every episode!

...Although, last night’s episode surprised me because I didn’t think Charlie would find out Emma was CIA so early...? I thought they’d find out about each other around the same time, now he’s the one with the major secret and she’s just kinda being pushed more into the role of Unknowing Girlfriend of Guy With a Double Life. Show me Emma the Badass CIA Agent who can beat up bad guys, not The Girlfriend who happens to be CIA! It just feels a little like they’re giving more Girl Power to Birdie, Fran andDaphne then they are to Emma, and Emma’s the lead female character, damnit!

I love the con jobs, though, they are always so fun to watch. This one on the yacht seemed even more Ocean’s Eleven than ever and I was HERE FOR IT.

 Worried about Papa Leo, though. I love him and they already have his memory as slipping, but I want him to stay on the show!!! I love him!!!!

And is it weird that I also kinda love Conner Maguire? I know he tried to kill Charlie and everything, but I still find myself liking him more than Daphne.
