greatestheights:#god i just love their dynamic so much #i feel like their interactions in this episode so neatly sum up the way they work #the things they need from each other and the way they freely give them #because donna needs to know he’s okay for herself as well #‘i’m going to get you some water or something’ #‘can i call stanley keyworth’ #that’s about her own peace of mind and her own need to feel like she’s being as helpful as possible #and josh gives her the reassurance that she needs #he literally leaves his meeting to go and assure her that he’s all right #not just ‘i’m fine’ but 'i was in here; i didn’t even see it; i wasn’t witness to this thing and so it didn’t affect me’ #none of this to imply that donna’s being selfish or self-absorbed here #because of course donna’s also aware that josh is liable to shrug things off and not ask for help #so she makes it clear that those avenues for help will stay open to him should he need them #it’s just a really lovely quiet bit of give and take -- source link
