Luke and Reid - Encouragement (LuRe-Ruke ATWT Highlights from August 2 & 3, 2010) HD

See episode liveblog (and eventually full recap with play by play) at www.lukeandreid.com. Thanks to smuchshypush for the HD clips.

In the meantime, trying to capture all the key moments since my first draft of this description was way too long...

0:00 Luke looking particularly sparkly and gorgeous all through this episode - probably because he looks so HAPPY.
0:13 Reid's still trying, and Luke's just laughing it off - would be cute if it didn't really hurt later on in the bridal suite scene
0:19 LOVE the smiles on both of them in the "love" discussion - so unforced. It looks like Van and Eric had fun filming this, but then again, their chemistry is so amazing, it's hard to tell how much of it is natural and how much of it is their stellar acting...and BTW, if Luke were any closer to Reid, you'd have to scrape him off with a spatula.
0:27 Love the grunt.
0:40 Holding hands! In public! and I believe Reid would actually do it!
1:18 "Ha ha, no!" LOL - the pitch of Reid's voice!
1:34 I don't remember Luke running his hands through his hair when confused/frustrated/unsure of what to do. Did he catch that from Reid?
1:38 The best "he's mine" hand grab ever.
1:48 check out Reid's expression as Luke is talking - it totally says, "No, that's not what I meant at all!" And Abigail is just wonderful here. Without saying a word, she is clearly completely sizing up the relationship between the two of them and coming to all the right conclusions. .
1:59 Love Reid's little sidelong smiling glance after Luke thanks him for the "mitigating circumstances" swoon
2:11 Awesome Reid hand movement #1 - love how he signals to Molly
3:02 I have not seen such a natural smile from Molly since....she came back to be with Holden; like Luke, Molly was sparkly in this episode, despite the tears (thank you, Reid)
3:25 Reid hands #2: "I'm gonna grab a snack!" LOL. I just wish this clip weren't edited so tightly in the original so you could see it better!
3:34 Reid hands #3: After grabbing a cookie from the jar (what else), Reid sticks out a hand to help (?) Carly as she is helped up by Molly and Abby?!
4:15 Reid hands #4. love the "toodles" wave as CarJack depart!
4:25 Luke is SO mesmerized and cannot take his eyes off Reid. If he smiled any wider, they'd have to broaden the doorway to get his grin through. He is SO lovin' what he's seeing (emphasis on LOVE).
4:28 The fact that Ethan turns around in his seat is hysterical. It's more typical of someone marching into the boss's office and having him (or her) turn around in their big office chair to confront the nervous employee...
4:53 "Uh huh. Cake." 'nuff said.
4:58 Reid hands #5: Love the thumbs up for Nathalie!
5:03 Never realized that "hop down" could sound sexy!
5:15 Poor Reid. "I think you should take a breather....you must be exhausted" The guy never gives up on trying to get Luke horizontal.
5:24 Contagious Reidism #2 - Since when did Luke start talking with his mouth full?!
5:34 Luciano, I love you more than ever, but if you actually are so dense you are missing the "hints" that Reid is dropping, you need to get some people skills training of your own.
5:45 I canNOT believe that after glancing at the bed threatening to swallow him alive, and noting that they are "in the bridal suite," Luke does a blink and come hither eyeflirt/smile that just screams "TAKE ME" before what follows.
5:51 After Reid says, "So the wedding didn't happen, but we did" and Luke replies, "Yeah, we did," it sounds like Reid says something at the same time as Luke says "didn't we?" Can anyone tell what Reid says?
6:58 The look on Reid's face before the kiss? thud
7:12 Not sure how Luke could actually break off that kiss (especially after practically inhaling Reid in), especially with that smug/playful/cute smile. Normally I think Luke's flirty smile is to die for. Here, I was ready to give him a Gibbs slap for totally toying with Reid's feelings (not to mention his libido!).
7:17 Reid hands #6 (the best for last). Along with Reid's face? Four seconds of sheer perfection.
