Owen's teasing was just such a brilliant way to turn on the dimmer of Alicia's light switch (to borrow your analogy)!

Between (“I knew it!” Alicia crows. “And you aren’t even drunk!” she yells at Kalinda’s retreating back.) and (“Kalinda,” Alicia hisses. “Just— are we dating?") your characterizations are just...bogglingly accurate and amazing!
