The writing in this episode is top notch. 

[In this scene](https://youtu.be/F91b4zWsFRU), Sarah, using subtle, non-verbal body language and not so subtle wording, gently rebuffs Cole's persistent advances.

Cole: "Dr. Walker. My superiors agree that I need 24 hour, round the clock medical assistance. Our jet awaits."

Sarah: "I'm sorry, I have yogurt to serve. You'll have to find someone else to take care of you."

Cole: "Uh no, you see, that's not going to work because no one else is going to make me feel like you do. Believe me, I've looked. I'm serious. Don't pack your bags, don't say goodbyes, just close your eyes and say yes. Come with me, Sarah."

Sarah: "I'm sorry."

The scene reaches it's climax as **Sarah uses Cole's own wording from a previous scene** to explain her choice, and to remind him that sometimes life isn't fair.

Cole: "What's the matter? I thought you were a girl who liked adventure?"

Sarah: "I guess I'm not the type of girl who cheats on her cover boyfriend."

Cole: "Is that all he is, a cover?"

Sarah: "What do you mean?"

Cole "I saw the way you looked at him when his life was in danger. I've been doing this a long time, agent Walker. Well, who'd have thought it. Cole Barker loses the girl to Chuck Bartowski."

Sarah: "When you meet someone you care about, it's just hard to walk away."

Cole: "I couldn't have said it better myself." <- **Because he did!**

\-----------------------------------

[Here's the previous scene](https://youtu.be/wTJiHKT6m4A):

Cole: "Wait. Listen. You know I meant what I said earlier. About being around people who really care about you? And who you really care about. Doesn't happen often for people like us."

Sarah: "No, it doesn't."

Cole: "And if we're lucky enough to find that person. We're supposed to just walk away? Doesn't seem fair, does it?"

Sarah: "No... because it isn't."

That's great writing!
