2. He gently strokes her hair because he's mysteriously drawn to her by some unknown attraction, then he.....wipes his hand on the pillow to free himself of some unseen grossness. It's even funnier because, according to the DVD commentary, Tim Omundson improved that. It's damn funny that straight-laced Lassiter is attracted to someone so "hygene challenged".
I always love it when they say that Tim added onto what was on the page. Of course he has to to a certain degree based solely on the fact that he's an actor, but more than just making the script come alive, improving it like you said. This episode had a couple of really good choices like that-one being wiping his hand off, and the other being the backwards-step over the chair!


SMACK!!!!!! Oh...
I love those pics of eyes. So wonderful!
And you know Shawn's glad about that smack! He's hoping Emilina snapped Lassie out of whatever odd trance he's been in.
