Three viewings of 5.02 later, I'm still left with a question: "Wait! What happened to Ellen, Jo and Rufus?" There seemed to be a scene missing at the end, before that ultimate scene with the boys. That might be a time-limitation problem, or an "Eh, they'll never notice" moment -- but it begged for fic. So here you go: the missing scene from the end of 5.02, from Ellen's POV.
