I agree with your discomfort with One Hundred Days. The framing of that shot at the end makes it clear that we are supposed to see Jack's farewell to Laira through Sam's eyes, and her discomfort with it. Even without shipper goggles, that's clearly designed to be a part of how we read that scene. You and I see it as Sam doing all that work to get him back because she (secretly) loves him, only to see this, and the gen folks see Sam did all that work to get him back because she knows he wants rescue, only to see his reluctance to return. And yet the tension it must have caused is never in any way acknowledged in subsequent episodes. It's just as maladroit as Daniel falling for Ke'ra in the episode that comes right after the death of Sha're. Maybe there was a six month gap in SGC time between One Hundred Days and Shades of Grey, likewise Forever in a Day and Past and Present, but to the viewer only a week has gone by (assuming the original broadcast schedule). It's jarring.
