Ok so here we go.....a nice confrontation scene between Cam and Daniel....because you know this just had to happen...and because you have such a differing range in their mood toward one another.....apparently between commercials....that unless they are bi polar....NOT...they had to have one of these!!

Spoiler:
Daniel turns quickly ….and beats feet towards the men’s locker leaving Vala standing with mouth agape….looking towards Cam….Cam shoots Vala a glare…and pulls in a breath…and as his heart flutters for just a moment at the thought of losing her….he spins on his heel to follow Daniel.….with intent….
As Cam rounds the corner…..his heart quickens as the lights in the hallway blaze through his brain like a laser….his thoughts are lost…..his reason…lost…..and he’s not sure completely what to do when he finally meets up with Daniel…..but he knows….something needs to happen….something needs to be said….he steps into the locker room and Daniel meets his eyes squarely…not lacking in complete surprise….it’s just the two of them….but Cam makes a visual sweep to ensure they are indeed alone….
Cam: (walks slowly toward Daniel….clenching his teeth….every time he exhales he feels a wave of heat emanate from him….the white flashes begin again…and this time a new spark of red obscures his vision temporarily….he summons all the control he has to bellow out….) Jackson….What the **** is up with you? You need to dial it down a notch!
Daniel: (blanched with fear….as he backs into the lockers…. until he realizes Cam has completely come unhinged and he’s not sure why…because he knows Cam only curses when he is insane crazy mad….which rarely happens…..white knuckled…he grips his glasses...that are now securely tucked in the palm of his hand….) Are you asking me to step down from the team?? Because….it was you who wanted me here….so what the **** IS YOUR problem….anyway??
Cam: (scoffing just a little which sort of takes the edge off) What’s my problem?? (laughs) The problem is…..You and Vala…. that’s the problem….what do you think you are doing Jackson….fraternizing with a team member?? Necking in the locker room?? What the hell Jackson…you can’t be doing that here….on base! (Cam had no other alternative but to pull rank and regs…maybe then he could convince Daniel to take his flirting with Vala off base where he at least didn’t have to see it.)
Daniel: (shocked) What?? Necking?? We were just teasing around…..we have fun together…..sure there may have been some innocent flirting….and playing round….but come on….Why is it all work and no play with you??…..you know what they say….that makes for a dull boy……(laughs nervously)
Cam: (steams) Look…..it’s not my actions in question here…..all I’m sayin’ is….don’t **** where you work….when you’re here….Jackson….we have a job to do…..so put your toys away…especially your dick …and wake up ..….(Cam drives his finger into Daniels chest….his eyes pierce through him….he’s mere inches away from his face…..the heat bleeds from them as their frustrated anger culminates into a gridlock….. you could almost taste the testosterone thick in the air….Cam wiped his eyes across Daniel’s startled expression…..he could see the guilty fear laced with a true unknowing….almost an innocence of thought with respect to Cam’s relationship with Vala….Jackson couldn’t see it…he was ignorant to Cam’s deep feelings for her…and genuinely didn’t understand Cam’s violent reaction…..This realization caused Cam’s anger to falter….he swallowed hard and stepped back….his hand swiped away the beaded sweat that was forming along the edge of his hairline….as he waited with curiosity for Jackson’s response…to this mess they were in….he drew in a tentative breath)
Daniel: (swallows hard and steps up as if to challenge Mitchell) You know….what’s it to you anyway?? Why do you care so much about what Vala and I do?? I mean you have no problem as long as my nose is in a book….but the minute I look up and play with Vala….it’s a criminal offense….(Daniel searches deep into Cam for an answer…..perhaps blinded by his own feelings for Vala…he has yet to see Cam’s deep passion for her…..his look pulls on the only thin thread he’s got and waits for Mitchell’s retort….)
Cam: (steps up….with a renewed rage at his recent challenge….he presses in….their noses almost touching….chest to chest….eyes piercing) You have no idea Jackson!! No **** I n g idea…….I have my reasons….now BACK the Hell OFF! (Cam feels the pressure to back down…as he realizes Daniel is truly clueless of his feelings for Vala…and he doesn’t want to make them known to him as that would only further complicate the matter even more….he looks down…and with a step back he shoves his hands on his hips in line with his utility belt and just waits…there….)
Daniel: (pulls in a deep breath) Is that an order…..sir??.....You know I’m civilian technically I don’t have to take orders from you…(he shifts nervously and awaits his response….Daniel now glaring….at a somewhat neutralized Cam…..knowing that something is up….but not sure what….)
Cam: (looks up quickly and...sneers) I wouldn’t think of using my rank to force you to do anything…..but just for the record….when you are part of this team….and we’re on mission….you’re under military code…and that puts me in charge ……got it?? (Cam hated pulling rank…but he knew it was one of his only alternatives…and the only weapon in his arsenal at the moment…his eyes dance around the room…the white flashes now fading….diffusing out of sight….he shifts his weight and glances in Daniel’s direction a look of ….man we’ve got to work this out….for the team….for the benefit of the universe! Too many lives are at stake.)
Daniel: (nervously) Got it! But….you know I don’t need this crap….I can just go back to doing what I was doing…..before you dragged me into this….and that would solve everyone’s problem. (Daniel now realizes the corner Cam has put himself in….he knows Cam can’t push him out completely it would prove devastating to the SG program….so for the moment Daniel holds the trump card and both men know it!)
Cam: (worried….he sees that Daniel truly has the ball…..he can’t afford losing him…. he is forced to tap dance so he musters up some sort of response to make sense of this most bizarre set of circumstances they are in…..) Look…Jackson….all I need is for you to get your head on …..straight ….focus on your job…..and just do it…..leave Vala out of it….what you do on your own time is up to you….but I don’t want to know about it…..is that clear? (Cam leaves an almost pleading look on his face just long enough for Daniel to recognize the dilemma they are in….)
Daniel: (stands down) Yep…..loud and clear……..sir!!
Cam: (relaxes his stance and shakes his head with a faint smile gracing his parched lips…. an icy cool chill penetrates his body….tingles rush over him and a flushed feeling of anxiety tries to take hold….he gathers his senses….clears his throat)…..You can cut the sir…..now can we just be civil towards one another?….or at least act like we can get along?….you know for the team’s benefit….for Vala’s benefit?….let’s not make this harder than it needs to be……
Daniel: (Confused and frustrated) Whatever….Mitchell…just know that….anytime I feel it’s getting too hot in here….I’m gone….I don’t need this…..any of it!! I’m here to loan my expertise….but hey if you have a problem with me….I can pack up my toys as you say….and leave…..anytime! (Daniel crosses his arms across his chest…with an almost knowing that he has boxed Cam….right there….he won this battle….and it is over….and Daniel made it out unscathed….and to Daniel that was enough…..for now anyway…..)
Cam: (trying to smooth things over) It’s no secret Jackson…that we need you here….your skills are vital and necessary to help save this Universe….we can’t do it without you….so stay here for that reason….no other….not because I’ve asked you…..or because Vala is here…….do it because so many lives hang in that balance…that should be enough…..so whatever this is….here between us…..we’ve got to suck this up and move forward….So…..can we do that?? (he stares at Daniel with that look….that look that usually melts Vala instantly….it takes you apart and exposes the very core of you…..so no part of you is left untouched….)
Daniel: (stunned silent and paralyzed by Cam’s words…..he manages to muffle out….) Yep….you bet!
Cam: (makes a stifled sigh under his breath….he doesn’t want to seem too relieved because that would just allow for gloating….because he could never survive flirting and gloating in the same room…..that would be completely unbearable….. and Cam knows even though Daniel has won this battle….the war is far from over….and he will let him have this victory…..for the benefit of the team….for the universe….and most of all for Vala... .he does it because Cam knows how hurt Vala would be to learn of any ill that fell between them….or how crushed she would be if he were responsible for driving Daniel away….Cam recognizes that he and Daniel are the two most important men in her life right now…and he wouldn’t jeopardize that for anything….because Vala has lost too many people in her life already……and he couldn’t let that happen again…..But his greatest realization is the irony in that it was because of her he went raging toward Jackson in the first place…..ready to go over the edge with jealousy and desperation…..but too it was because of her…that he is retreating amicably….with his anger stifled and diffused….she is the only person who has that kind of power over him….and while part of himself fears that….part of himself can’t think of what life would be like without her force inside of him……so he takes comfort in knowing….that this is not the hill to die on today…..someday soon….maybe…..but not today…..)
So in a moment of clarity….both men exchange that look of relief….one that ensures a treaty of future interactions to be met on more agreeable terms…but nothing is ever a guarantee….especially with Vala in the mix….she is the wild card….and they both know it!
As Cam rounds the corner…..his heart quickens as the lights in the hallway blaze through his brain like a laser….his thoughts are lost…..his reason…lost…..and he’s not sure completely what to do when he finally meets up with Daniel…..but he knows….something needs to happen….something needs to be said….he steps into the locker room and Daniel meets his eyes squarely…not lacking in complete surprise….it’s just the two of them….but Cam makes a visual sweep to ensure they are indeed alone….
