I was thinking that too. But wasn't there an article from the beginning of the season that said Bobby would go through drama and have to lean on her, and then she would go through drama and have to lean on him? VDO said her character would be more established the second half of the season, so maybe its her turn to freak a little and he can help her.
But if Bobby's idea of "leaning" on his partner is to not return her calls when she is clearly concerned about him, I would feel betrayed, too. But I think that is where the stem of the problem lies. Bobby is used to dealing with things on his own, not being able to rely on anyone but himself. Alex is used to hiding her feelings in order to compete in a male dominated career field. It is going to take something pretty dramatic for them to break that pattern. I mean all the stuff they have gone through the past two seasons has only seemed to drive them further apart, not closer together. (And you can take that in either the friendship or the shipper sense. Either can apply. Well the latter only if you are a shipper, which I am.

) I think it would be good for Alex to lose some of her guarded nature, though I can understand why she is that way. But maybe it would help to shake Bobby up and out of his depression if he could have someone else's stuff to focus on. I mean, they always say that the quickest way to forget about your own drama is to help someone else with theirs.
