Whew. That was an intense set of chapters there but I guess no matter how much it hurt them both, it was for the best. Everything's out in the open now, and Tony's finally getting a clue about how much he means to Gibbs.

Love how Gibbs kept tight hold of that leash, no matter how long it got.

And I was really glad to see Tony warm up to Stan; the two of them in the High Seaa episode were so much fun and honestly, that's one of the slashiest episodes ever for Tony's reaction to Stan ::g::

Can't wait to see how it ends.
