Sorry Camy and Linda, I guess it was sad after all.
Spoiler:
John stared at Teyla's face which was as beautiful as ever, her brown eyes staring up at him meaningfully. "John, may we speak?" she asked and let herself into his quarters without him saying a word.
John continued to stare out into the empty hallway as Teyla stood alone in his bedroom behind him. He was petrified of her being here. He didn't want to be angry with her, he didn't want her to see how hurt he was, how broken she had made him. And saying goodbye to her forever was just something he knew he could never willingly do. He plastered on an attempted smile and closed the door, turning to face her. When he saw the expression on her face the forced smile dropped and instinctively he approached her as a single tear slid down her cheek.
He began to reach out to touch her arm comfortingly, but retracted it suddenly when he neared her skin, as if he were scalded by an unseen flame. "What's wrong?" he asked nervously wiping his extended hand on his pants as he looked around the room, trying to come up with a reason to excuse himself.
She wiped her tear away and looked deeply at John's constantly shifting eyes before she spoke. "John, I am sorry, but I had to speak with you right away."
John stared hard at his feet, silently begging her not to go on. He did not want to hear about her love affairs, or relationship problems, he didn't think he had enough strength left in him to go on pretending he was only her friend.
"Please do not leave Atlantis, Colonel," she said softly with her face pointed downwards.
John raised his head, unsure if he had heard her correctly. "What?"
"I am frightened, Colonel," she said quietly, her chin quivering. "Frightened you are going to leave when I need you the most."
John looked at her in total disbelief. "What are you talking about Teyla? What could you possibly need from me?" His voice came out harsher than he had intended and he instantly saw a reaction of surprise and then hurt appear on her face.
"I need you to listen. Listen to something I should have told you earlier," she began to wring her hands awkwardly and looked to be thoughtful, as if choosing her words wisely. "There were days, days when I was searching for my people...days that are missing from me," she said carefully.
"Missing?" John looked at her confused and she went on.
"A few weeks ago when Dr. Keller and I were attacked in the woods on that terrible planet and those...those creatures took us, we were their prisoners until I negotiated her release. I was there alone with them for quite some time before your team reached me, Colonel," she said looking at John, hoping he could see the meaning behind her eyes.
He did.
"What are you saying Teyla? Did they..." his face deeply reddened and his hands began to tremble." Did they hurt you?" he added with his own hidden meaning.
Teyla looked away overcome with emotion and then shrugged her shoulders wildly as she answered in a high voice," I do not know, John! I remember very little and when I came back to Atlantis, I was...I was..." She could no longer speak and sobs choked at her throat. She walked forward slowly and embraced him and he hesitantly placed a trembling, gentle hand around her, holding her close.
John felt a great conflict inside, as his heart filled with sweet relief that all his fury, all his rage, his reasons for leaving Atlantis were all in vain. She had not loved another. And yet his heart filled with a murderous darkness that he knew would soak through him, unrelenting, until every last one of those beasts were slaughtered in her name.
