Envy! Yes, that worked beautifully--Cowley wondering what it was that Doyle had in him that made him overcome the difficulties. (And, being me, I can't help but think that it was because he had to be back on the job with Bodie.)

Absolutely! To my mind, it's the great unstated fact about those final episodes *g*

I also have this idea that when Cowley finds out about their relationship, he will have even greater cause for envy...
