In fact, if not for the fact that Ava slept with Connor’s dad to secure funding, it might have been possible for sparks to start flying between them again.
Connor spent the episode both mourning the death of his father and working with Ava to save the life of a baby.
Ava certainly thought so, and she approached Connor in their final scene in the episode to say that, with his father out of the picture, they could finally be together.
Ava was being very thoughtful and accommodating to Connor as he mourned.
