Imagine living C and V's situation. This is exactly how it should go. Aside from how correct other reviewers, here, were, (the two read, before this), the two had both the fantasy and the reality, without going out of bounds. They mind melded that kiss. They didn't kiss. But they did. And each knew that the other was real and loved the other, so they knew the fantasy wasn't unavailable, like most fantasies. So that made it come true and remain a fantasy at the same time. This writer of this episode achieved the impossible. How do you work your way around the forbidden, and achieve the impact, without partaking of the forbidden? The author of this episode answered that question. That author is gifted and brought out the best in two fine actors. Perhaps in this era of streaming, there need be no more episodes after this. But this was written before that era, so.. Perhaps, leave them, wanting.. And it would be enough.
