'Blindspot' Season 5 Episode 5: Jane and Weller have an emotional moment, Jeller fans say it's 'everything'
There's nothing that makes a fandom turn into a puddle of mush like their favorite ship having some cute moments. In 'Blindspot', the 'Jeller' ship always hits fans in the feels and rightly so. Jane Doe (Jaime Alexander) and Kurt Weller (Sullivan Stapleton) might have had a rollercoaster of a relationship, but they have always found a way back to each other. In the latest episode of 'Blindspot', while he was being kidnapped and given drugs, Weller had hallucinations about Jane's ex, Oscar, who taunted him that Jane never loved him. Weller firmly maintains, 'We belong to each other now."
Grab your tissues, Jeller fans. Weller reveals to Jane that he has doubts about himself being a good person, and she gives him an emotional speech on how he has light and hope inside him. As this is the only ship going strong in 'Blindspot' right now, as Tasha-Reade's romance was literally killed in a drone strike, fans cherish these aww-worthy moments. There aren't much of these, as half the time, the team has to stay on guard and battle anyone who looks like they work for Madeline Burke (Mary Elizabeth).
"What an ending!! That #Jeller moment was EVERYTHING!!!! Next weeks episode looks so intense!!" one fan tweeted.
" I know who you are. You're Kurt Weller, MY husband. And you have fear, darkness, light and love inside you. #Blindspot. LOVE," a fan wrote.
"You're kurt weller you're my husband" MY GOD, THEY'RE OTP FOREVER," a fan wrote while another posted, "Yes, Kurt. You are a good man. Don't ever forget that."
While he was kidnapped, Ivy Sands puts Weller in a drug-induced haze, where he is confronted by all the demons of his past, including his father as well as Oscar. Ivy almost 'breaks' Weller, as he does reveal that his team is in a bunker. Nevertheless, he manages to break away, knock her out and escape.
In an interview with Collider, Stapleton revealed that this episode was a 'heavy' one to film. "It was a heavy episode to film. Going through that rollercoaster was tough, but as an actor, it was great to really sink my teeth into this story arc that obviously has a huge effect on Weller. And I got to work with a great director, Pamela Romanowsky, and a great writer, Brendan Gall," he said.
Watch 'Blindspot' on Thursdays at 9 pm on NBC.
