Keep them coming.

The brilliant medical examiner Dr. Reed Smith might just be one of Stella’s only friends on The Fall. Well, they’re co-workers too, but seem to also have a more…personal relationship as well.

So when they meet up to blow off steam over drinks at a bar, it seems pretty normal. Stella steps away quickly to take a phone call and a handsome gentleman walks up to the table, happily bringing a drink to Reed. Again, nothing unusual here. A man bringing a woman a drink at a bar in order to hit on her is fairly common. Although frequently, women are pretty polite when they decline advances. Stella is anything but subtle. Just as Reed is about to begin a polite “thanks but no thanks” speech, Stella turns back up and kisses her. The stunned man just stares as Stella takes both drinks and asks him to “keep them coming”.

He’s not the waiter, and says as much, but Stella is uninterested. She showed up to save Reed from this guy’s advances and wow did she save her. When Reed mentions that someone might’ve seen the kiss and likely knows who they both are, Stella doesn’t care and continues to sip her drink. Can you say bad ass?

Next: You were married too.
