** When Maura answers the door, Jane says, "Why do you always look like you're about to do a photo shoot?". In fact, Jane going over to Maura's house after having just had a fight with her mother could interpreted as someone seeking solace in a lover during a stressful time.

** Notably, when Maura brings up the question of what they'd be like if they liked women, Jane immediately observes that she'd "be the guy" when Maura was just talking in more generic terms rather than just talking about a relationship between them specifically.

** It's pointed out that Jane and Giovanni are quite similar with both being blue-collar Boston-Italians. Maura's attraction to Giovanni could even be interpreted as her viewing him as a substitute for Jane. When Jane asks Maura if she wants to sleep with her, Maura doesn't immediately answer.

* In a promo for one of the new season, it shows the two going through speed dating with all male candidates not exactly being up to their standards. At the end, they seem to have finally found the perfect date, saying how much they enjoyed being with the person behind the camera...Then we see that they are sitting opposite one another and enjoying themselves for the first time that night.

* Season 6 in general. Comments on Jane's recurrent man trouble are a OnceAnEpisode occurrence, likewise every episode starting early morning in Maura's kitchen. Meanwhile, the writers seem to be playing up every possible excuse to put the leading ladies in as many NotWhatitLooksLike situations as possible. Romantic picnic with rowboat ride? Check. Black-tie charity benefit at the Museum of Fine Arts? Check. Trip to Los Angeles, complete with walks on the beach and Maura renting a ridiculously over-the-top sports convertible? Check.

* Same episode: Jane telling her mother that they do have a doctor in the family, while gazing soulfully across the couch at Maura.



* When they go to Jane's high school reunion, Jane writes them both name tags, and slaps Maura's right on her boobs. No wonder several of her old classmates assume they're more than just friends.

* The road trip to Connecticut in "Family Matters." Jane creates a "mix tape" for the ride, which features the ladies crooning along to Ambrosia's "Biggest Part of Me." Later, Maura discusses a few revelations she's had to Jane, about "work, and (ex-boyfriends), and you..." and then states "If the next awesome ''person'' doesn't come along for a while, that's OK." Probably the most support yet for the {{fanon}} idea that Maura is either outright bi or at least flexible.
