Some of you guys need to get your shipping goggles off. Automatically throwing around terms like "bumblebee teasing" and "pandering to the fans" after ONE heart-to-heart is just stupid, in my opinion. Yang opened her heart to Blake, yes, but in a completely platonic way, to prove a point and because she was worried for her partner's health. It was a quality piece of character interaction and development that the two have been lacking for over a year since the show began, and seeing it shot down because select people are afraid a ship they don't want has the tiniest chance of getting fulfilled is just grating.

Now, the offer of a dance at the end and the wink COULD be interpreted as a hint of Yang having a crush, that is true, but it could just as easily-- perhaps more so-- be interpreted as harmless, as nothing. She was flirting, yes, but Yang's a flirt. That's part of her character. She flirts with people for fun. She flirts with people she's not interested in-- see Junior. As an 18-year-old enrolled in college, I know quite a few straight young women who flirt with each other on a regular basis, it means nothing. They do it to joke around or to compliment each other. A dance offer and a wink to Blake is 100% consistent with her character as we've seen it so far.

To be completely honest, all I can say at present is "see where it goes"-- this COULD be an early foundation being laid for Bumbleby, yes, but it also COULD be a simple, pure, chaste, bonding moment between the two. It's not something we've had before now. Just enjoy it. If at some stage Bumbleby does happen-- which I wouldn't mind, really, provided there was ample build and development and character growth to set it up-- then we can look back on this season and go "aaaaaah, so they were building towards this", and if it doesn't, we can look back on it as the writers intended it to be looked on - a heartwarming bonding scene. That's all.

Besides, Black Sun's first-ever interaction was Sun winking at Blake suggestively then flirting with her indiscretely right off the bat. Anyone ever complain about that? Exactly. You can't write a relationship off as underdeveloped if it hasn't even begun yet.
