Because that WOULD have been a nice little insight into the differences and similarities between these two relationships and I'm sure someone thought it would be cool to show that before I did just now.

I would LOVE to give the production team the benefit of the doubt but I'm not sure if I'm really going to hold my breath for it. Its a bit cynical yeah, but I'd rather be pleasantly shocked at them thinking so logically/character-wise like that than hope and find nothing :D However, you're completely right. This season has had a lot of comparisons between the three core relationships and that would be just another great example to show different coping/grieving mechanisms as well as signs of how these characters will go on from such a painful place.
