Because it made for one of the sexiest television scenes…ever.
And Im not talking about the one where they actually sleep together.
Im talking about the one where they both decide they want it.

Sitting around a table full of men including Capt.
Alicia is apparently working for the Department of Justice this week.
It seems the people around the table have been selected for a confidential hearing.
The action item involves an ISIS recruiter.
Welcome to the big leagues, Alicia.
Elsewhere, Eli heads to Elsbeths office where she has started doing yoga (while wearing a blazer?)
for help with the FBI case.
Basically, Eli needs a lawyer to figure out why they need a lawyer.
Just like that, she heads to Peters office to get caught up.
(Yes, she knew about the vote rigging.)
Immediately, Cary and David become suspicious.
Spoiler: Jason finds nothing.
(Although there was one call from Diane that Alicia never returned, so perhaps thats something?)
to make it learn more about Mr. Hopper, Alicia temporarily withdraws her support of a targeted strike.
Yeah, its complicated.
So with 30 hours left to decide what to do, the group calls it a night.
(Side note: How significant was the moment when Alicia skipped Peters voicemail to listen to Jasons?
Well, youre about to find out.)
So instead of drinking, Jason distracts her with a bit of meditation.
And by meditation, I MEAN SEX.
God bless us, everyone!
Furthermore, she cant say why.
The only thing she can do is give Eli the business card of her ex-husband, Michael.
In case you were wondering, yes, Michael is just as quirky as you hoped.
Specifically, he cradles his dog in his left arm…everywhere he goes.
Catching himself up, Michael asks what Marissa was talking about when Elsbeth decided to leave.
After a failed attempt to see Elsbeths client list shes always one step ahead!
Back in her secret-filled room, Alicia is thrown when she discovers Capt.
Hicks the biggest advocate for NOT killing the ISIS recruiter will not be back to vote on the matter.
It seems the government suspects him of leaking information.
Sure, well believe that.
In the end, a drone strike kills the recruiter.
And now, were back to the sexiest sex-less scene ever.
Alicia tells him that regardless of what Peter feels, he accepts it.
And can you blame her?!
To make things simple, Alicia tells Jason, I want you again.
Do you want it?
And I love it.
