Hardy And Miller Friendship Is The Best Friendship - Blog Posts

Let’s all take a moment to appreciate over-protective Ellie Miller in S02E07:

Claire Ripley comes marching up to the courthouse with her murder face on.

Ellie sees her come in. She knows Hardy is downstairs and that Claire is heading for him. Alarm bells go off.

shit shit shit shit shit

…aaaaand she’s off, faster that Mad Max in his Interceptor, ready to cut off Claire and stop her from getting to Hardy before she does

We see the target, sitting awkwardly alone and pretending to text on his phone.

Ellie has run ahead of Claire and she’s watching her like a hawk, positioning herself between the two of them, ready to fight to defend her large idiot friend

Claire reaches into her backpack. Ellie’s watching her, still a few strides ahead

She looks at Hardy, who is completely oblivious to what’s happening (jfc Hardy this is why she doesn’t trust you to look after yourself)

And bam. When Claire slaps the pendant against Hardy’s chest, Ellie is right there, literally having positioned herself between the two of them to make sure her tall skinny Scottish bastard isn’t in any danger

Without even thinking about it Ellie ran (ran!) to throw herself bodily between Hardy and a murderous-looking Claire. It turned out to be a complete overreaction on her part, but if Claire had reached into her backpack to pull out a weapon instead of the pendant, Ellie would have been on top of her and wrestling her into submission faster than you could blink, and probably before Hardy was even aware that she was in the building. For all her complaints about him, Ellie is so instinctively protective of Hardy. Her entire attitude is basically “he may be big but he is fragile I’ll fight ur ass don’t test me”
