I saw that scene as Lupo holding back from making a joke (possibly rude/teasing) and Bernard being all " dude, Connie will kill you." it did strike me as odd, because it seemed more like a half-finished conversation, than anything, if that even makes sense...but I didn't see any Lupo/Connie undertones...
...and yes, while I am all about Connie/Mike, I'm generally good at seeing where other things -could- be read into scenes, but I didn't see it there...
....also, Alana ships Connie/Mike and it's SEEMED like the writer would go with that, if anything....
Who will ever know now...that's what fanfic is for...
I thought the same; it seemed like Lupo was about to make a joke something along the lines of hot teacher/librarian/etc. and Bernard was like, "uh...might want to rethink that one." And Connie clearly caught it as well, and was like, "yeah...good decision."
As for laughing at his joke at the end as we faded out, Connie was clearly happy and amused...but then so was Mike, who was right by her side the entire scene

Eh, maybe it's too much of the writer in me. I could see the writers being shippers, at least sort of, but also twisting it. Doing the 'oh, hey, it's the last season, will make things a tad more personal and do a twist so that all the Mike and Connie shippers are sitting there ripping their hair out for at least a half season, yelling 'You BASTARDS!' at the tv before righteously getting Mike and Connie together, simply just to mess with us and get the ratings. All I could see of Lupo and Connie anyway is a disastrous one night stand & Mike coming to Connie's rescue in the end. Hence me believing that we would have a half season or so of "You BASTARDS!" to getting Mike and Connie together and saying "Finally!" for the last couple of episodes. *coughs*But I guess maybe that would be too SVU or something.*coughs

I thought this was a pretty good episode. Van Buren got better, Jack got to blow his top, Cutter got to wear a 3-piece suit, Connie got to reveal her teaching background, Lupo got to throw a (successful) fundraiser, and Bernard got to tackle somebody. Plus, they brought Skoda back.
I still can't believe it's over! but I loved the ending they gave Van Buren, it was so nice of Lupo to throw this party for her and I'm glad she decided to come. She really deserved it, after all that she has done for the NYPD, the city, and for her friends and family.
Jack totally kicked ASS! Loved how he stood up to that union lawyer. But what's even better than seeing Jack acting all bad-ass is when we see his softer side! I just loved how he was smiling at van Buren's party and seeing him give her a hug! Jack may be a pit bull in the court house, but outside of it, he is such a puppy!

AWWW, the intro. Strut your stuff hopefully NOT one last time, guys. ♥
"The sex cops want to talk to you." Be afraid. Be very afraid. Munch will kick your ass.
Speaking of kick-ass, heyyyy, Van Buren.
...unfortunately, for me, awkward cliche cancer scenes are still awkward and cliche...
(Epatha better at LEAST get an Emmy nom, though)
"A bomber with itchy hands..."
- Lupo listens in on the Lieu's conversation...
- Lupes and B play basketball! "You know white boys can't jump!" Hehehehe.
- And they PLOT to plan something for the Lieu...
- Wait, wait, wait, is this a ripped from the headlines from the Times Square thing that JUST happened?? Damn.
Speaking of Ripped From the Headlines? I will still read news headlines and think "I wonder when this will be a Law & Order episode..."
*brb, weeping a little...*
