Desde un terremoto a un intendo drama romántico: Erica Durance de 'Saving Hope' hace balance sobre el #Jalex

From a full moon, to an earthquake, to intense romantic drama, THAT was an intense episode!
Warning: SPOILERS AHEAD.
When Joel leaned in to give Alex a smooch (in the morgue – ew!), the ground shook…but not necessarily in a good way. Or at least, not according to Alex.
And the two spent the whole episode wondering if getting back together was a good idea, or if the earthquake that only the two of them felt was an omen to steer clear.
It didn’t help that Joel was video chatting with a hot, blonde Australian (though this turned out to be his step-mom to-be), and once that was cleared up, the new psychiatrist assured Joel that yup, the girl (ahem, Alex!) was into him.
Cut to the final scene of the episode, with Joel stopping by Alex’s on the way to airport, having heard about the earthquake on the radio. Though it barely registered on the Richter scale, it was enough of a spark for the two of them to want to “make their own earthquake.”
Joel and Alex! Back together again! Will he reform his bad-boy ways now that he has a second chance?
“You really get a glimpse of why Alex and Joel were together and why it was such a poignant relationship for her,” explains actress Erica Durance. “And you see the innocence of that relationship. You start to really see her connection with Joel.”
And that wasn’t the only relationship drama in the episode!
As the episode opened, Dawn (Michelle Nolden) confronted a bearded Charlie (Michael Shanks) in the elevator about sleeping together. And though he evades her questions at first, claiming he doesn’t know “how to do this right now,” things start to shift over the course of the episode.
“I’m sorry for acting weird earlier,” Charlie apologizes to her.
“I get that you’re going through a rough patch,” Dawn says, but Charlie, in a rare moment of clarity, declares, “I’m not in a coma anymore. I’m alive.” And proceeds to kiss her. Like, REALLY kiss her.
And then she drops the bomb: “I want to have baby,” she tells a wide-eyed Charlie.
Could a pregnancy be on the horizon when the show returns for the second half of the season?
“It’s fun to explore and tricky to navigate psychologically from the character’s point of view,” says Shanks, refusing to reveal if the two decide to start a family. “Michelle and I have a lot of fun (doing these scenes) together.”
