he’s the sensible one, the voice of reason, not to mention a darn good cop. He knows how headstrong and ambivilant Hope can be when it comes to taking the law into her own hands. I was happy he told her that Bo asked him to look after Hope. Maybe she will eventually begin to see see that her actions are what SHE wants for Bo, and not what Bo would want for her. I expect this will be the beginning of their relationship turning from friendship to something much more at some point, but I’m pretty sure it will take a good while to develop. Rafe and Hope have always had a good working relationship. Eventually, they can turn that working partnership into a life partnership, and that’s okay with me. After what they’ve been through, they both need something or someone good in their lives.
