Spies are hot, to begin with, but the forbidden love in the original Mission: Impossible makes things even more delicious.
The Big Picture Spy movies are sexy. It's true — I don't make the rules. There's something undeniably appealing, if fictionally glamorized, about secret agents sneaking around in tuxedos and beautiful gowns while they mutter into their earpieces and save the world for the umpteenth time.
Hunt and Claire growing closer after this development would make sense, but the pair were dropping tension-filled hints from the beginning like Hansel and Gretel dropped breadcrumbs. Mission: Impossible's opening scene features Hunt and Claire on an undercover operation. Claire's part requires her to play dead, but extracting the information they need from their target is taking too long. She needs an antidote to whatever drug is in her system, and time's running out.
Following the murder of Hunt's team and the real perpetrator framing him for the crime, Claire appears at the same safe house Hunt's made his hideaway. Their reunion is understandably fraught. A sleep-deprived and paranoid Hunt accuses Claire of being the mole, because why else would she be alive after he saw a bomb destroy her car? Hunt frisking her down for weapons and shoving her onto the bed while demanding answers isn't sexually tinged — at first.
In the most intimate moment of all, one that's nigh-brazen for its palpable ardor, Claire sits in a corner of the room. Ethan, already in doubt about her loyalties, slowly approaches. Claire extends her hand in a silent request for emotional support. Ethan doesn't take her hand, but he lets it hang within her reach and their fingertips brush. The contact lingers before Claire enfolds Ethan's hand in both of hers, cradling it against her temple and cheek with her eyes closed.
