Oh, god, this is outstanding and real and so laced with tension. The dominance-eye contact thing is brilliant, and the way they manipulate each other.

It's marvelous watching Jack observe and balance his way through all the interpersonal minefields (and take advantage of Teal'c's distraction -- hee!). His team keeps surprising him, and he keeps shifting to adapt to the new ground.

And of course he's going to protect Daniel from Sam's anger. *loves*

Love Sam resting her head on Teal'c's shoulder at the end, as Daniel did on Jack's in the beginning. They are family.

Beautifully, beautifully observed and written.
