Jolian moments from 1x09:

This scene right here, my absolute favourite. Joanna finally tells him the truth, that she is just as interested in him as he is in her.  She finally admitted what we’ve all wanted her to say since the pilot episode. She finally let go of the death grip on her heart, where Julian is concerned.

********

Julian: Wow, your mom still hates me.

Joanna: She does not.

Julian: Okay. So how do I stop my dad from reading poems at parties?

Joanna: You know, I actually thought it was nice.

Julian: “Bearing it out to the edge of doom?” Really? Dad & Sofia?

Joanna laughs. Audrey walks in…

Audrey: Hey. You’re coming?

Julian: I’ll be right there.

Julian feels the frost in Audrey’s demeanor regarding Joanna.

Julian: Do I sense tension?

Joanna: She made it very clear that I had my chance with you and I should back off.

Julian: So you didn’t tell her that you bludgeoned me with rejection? Well, I’ll just let her know you could be less interested.

He walks away. Joanna stands on the far side of the room, her face bears the hurt that she is feeling.

Joanna: But it isn’t true.

Julian: What? *complete and utter shock*

Joanna: I don’t know. I don’t know - maybe it’s seeing my mom and realizing it does go so by so fast, life but I know that it’s true. I am interested.

Julian still stands there in complete shock.  He readies to once again mouth his disbelief when Audrey comes into the room again.

Audrey: Julian, I’m getting lonely.

He looks back at Joanna, while she looks at him pleadingly.  The silence lengthens……He turns and walks away with Audrey, leaving a devastated Joanna in his wake.

********

This scene now reigns supreme as my absolute favourite. Seriously, the look of utter shock on Julian’s face, had me practically in tears. Then the hopeful look on Joanna’s, until Audrey comes and interrupts the moment. Julian still stares longingly at Joanna, like he can’t believe what he is hearing.  After all, she bludgeoned him with rejection 2 weeks prior.  And I do mean bludgeoned. So hard that some of us Jolian fans are still cringing in disbelief and a Jolian fan dog growled at the TV(according to one Jolian fan). 

The end of the scene sees Julian walking away with Audrey and Joanna feels the harsh sting of rejection. She is utterly crushed, fighting tears.  She put her heart on the line and she thinks that he rejected her.
