Sam realizes how structured, and sometimes lonely her off duty life is. She shared her life with Orlin (for days? a week?), having meals cooked for her and getting humungous emeralds. Then, of course, the intimacy with an Ancient, which has gotta be felt on the subatomic levels of body and mind. Then he's shot down in front of her, ascends again and leaves for the Whereeverafter.
It's a period of let down, mild melancholy. She takes time to set her home to order, before going back to work. And also to write a detailed report for the SGC. She's too pissed at the NID and maybe even SGC for allowing them to spy on her. This would be a good point where her emotions settle on Jack. He offered to stay at her house, showing concern. He sticks by her when Hammond has to do some kind of reprimand, and that turns out to be minimal given her service record. Maybe there was more...? But oops, Air Force regs.
Then the next threat to earth. Sam does what Sam does: jumps back into the fray. All personal stuff to the rear of awareness; priorities front and center. Daniel, Teal'c and Janet offer friendly ears (or shoulders), and Sam eases back to her scientific passion
But that acute sharing...It simmered, never truly forgotten.
My take.
Just sayin'.
