The Rodney she fell for is the happy-go-luckier, tripping toward Alzheimer's Rodney.
Katie Brown seemed to have the same ability to ignore Rodney's real personality and see only the parts she wanted to see.
I got a sadistic glee over the idea that she missed the diagnosis partly from being smitten with his new self and resisted going to the shrine out of what looked like selfishness.
I was totally unspoiled for this episode, so I couldn't figure out why Keller was being all mineminemine about Rodney, instead of respecting his team's opinions more (they know him better). Then I finally figured out it was a shippy episode. I'm glad TPTB finally spelled it out for me, because Rodney and Keller have no detectable UST and about as much chemistry as baking soda.
It says big things about their friendship that John is the person Rodney ran to at his scaredest and that he placed so much importance in John even when most of his mind was gone. That scene at the pier really was wonderful.
This was totally my favorite aspect of the episode. I would've liked it even more if they'd cut out some of the Keller bits to make more room for John, or for Ronon and Teyla, who barely had anything to do all episode.
