Spoiler:
John was seemingly so shocked that she would initiate an intimate hug that way that I would love to see the shoe on the other foot. Let him be the one to initiate the contact and see how E reacts to it. But you're right...he definitely had a 'passing' thought to what kissing her would be like in that immediate moment after she released him from that bear hug. I honestly wonder if the thought didn't take him emotionally off guard and if he'd refused to even allow himself to think of kissing her before that moment. I rather think that is the case. He had looked at her as a friend and probably 'cared' more than he knew he should have as we see demonstrated in 'The Eye'. I just think that may have been the first moment for John to really, really think of Elizabeth as a woman that was kissable to him. If you watch the scene carefully, right after he looks at her lips the SECOND dadgum time, he visibly 'shakes' it off and forces himself to get back to the work relationship between them. His "So, um, where are we?" was simply full of a loud note of inner emotional momental confusion. Joe did a terrific job with the scene if you ask me. He and Torri both did. Her little nervous "I'd like that." and following odd laughter said more about her own nervousness from the sudden, close embrace and full emotional state than any words could have. Yummy stuff.
