I rewatched The Berrisford Agenda yesterday, so I was in an Alec mood and thought I'd check out this thread.

Don't you just love the look in his eyes and the way he tells Max that there leaving, it's an order, and I love it.
Oh, nice picture. And I love that moment in the episode. Up until then, it was easy to get caught up in the facade of "easy-going Alec", taking all the comments and jokes as they came, so that moment when he barked at Max like that really made me sit up and remember that there was more to Alec than that persona he usually showed.

And from cute to heartbreaking... His first kiss

That was just so perfect. Alex was so clearly over his head with Rachel at first, having no idea how to deal with the way he was feeling. Their first kiss was beautiful (and bittersweet, knowing how things turn out).
Although, by the next time we see him kissing Rachel, it's clear that he is a fast learner.
