Next? Upstead’s first eyes only communication in 4x22 “Army of One”:
First off, you see Hailey take her hand off her face like she was a little wary of Voight’s whole “get a box if you need it” statement (and wasn’t sure what Jay was thinking of her going to be the one to take his desk — which is ironic considering now 3 seasons later, he keeps sitting [read: StEaLiNg] {on} her desk). ⬆️
Then they proceed to do what they’ll continue to do for the next few seasons which are their matching facial expressions. Whether it’s awkward ones (like this moment) or not, idk how Jesse and Tracy do it ALL THE TIME but they do. And it’s great. Plus bby Upstead is so cute okay?! ⬆️
Lastly, what I like about this small scene is that Jay raises his hand up to Hailey, signaling 1) he’s not mad at her and 2) she didn’t need to do anything else cause he had it handled [see what I mean when I said they use their eyes and everything else but their lips to communicate sheesh the power they have!!] ⬆️
Aaaaand they end w/twinning 😐😐 which is great. That’s all. Rant over. ⬆️

Whenever I see Jay sitting at his own desk I can't help but wonder, "Are you lost, Jay?"
Yessss it’s like come on Jay we all know u belong at ur work wifey’s desk like:
Also can we please appreciate that he really didn’t sit at or on or even really around Erin’s desk all that much over the first four seasons. Then cut to 422 and he’s already leaning back on haileys desk I’m soft BYE 🥺💕

I feel like it was always supposed to be Jay & Hailey as partners, because even in 4x21 (Upton’s debut), she was first paired with Jay (and Al) to do surveillance. She even commented on Jay’s sense of humor, which was cute.
Don’t get me wrong, I liked having Upton & Lindsay as partners, just for the sake of the switch-up (see below for the funny reactions), but I feel like even poor Hailey got roped into Erin’s antics when she went off on the man that kidnapped that kid. Not that the prick didn’t deserve it, but I mean, if you think about it, it would’ve been Jay’s ass on the line with Erin if Voight hadn’t of switched the partners.
But, since he did switch them up, we got to see different dynamics. What I did like about 4x22 was that even though Erin & Hailey were partnered up technically, that didn’t stop bby Upstead from tackling the case together. It was cool to see them share the spotlight in the one bullpen whiteboard scene.
Then 4x23 of course showed Hailey being invited out with the boys for drinks at Molly’s. Erin didn’t show up, but Hailey made an impact. She even felt kinda bad that Jay left after what she said about Erin possibly “drowning her sorrows.” It just showed how much she already cared about him as a person, even before they were partners.
Their connection and ability to play off each other from the get go is why I think they were meant to be (partners, friends, more than that, etc).
PS: Jay looking at his future partner, friend, confidant, work wifey, should be girlfriend-fiancé-actual wife is GOLD. Miss Hailey Anne Upton does not play, and she definitely made an impact. 👱🏼♀️
