People don’t talk about Dinah and Taylor’s post-rescue dynamic enough

She's badly hurt, in a horrifying way no less, but Taylor's not grossed out. She's not exactly smooth, but she's immediately locked in on helping her. Her face is torn off and she's in danger of bleeding to death, so....

The best way to stop the blood loss is to cauterize the wound. Taylor doesn't struggle over it, or look for another way to help her, or think about it in any way. It's just The Best Option.

The fire guy, on the other hand, has to be convinced. He recoils at the thought of burning half her face off to save her life, and looks sick when he does it, but ultimately he wants to save her life so he toughs it out.

Compare to Taylor, who has none of that struggle. She has the same priorities as him, she just isn't grossed out by the act of cauterizing someone's face. That's all.

The rest of the Signature Taylor Hebert moments come from the same place as this, even if the context (usually of whoever's receiving the metaphorical face cauterization being an enemy) makes them read differently; Taylor wants to help people, and she doesn't care if that means cauterizing someone's entire face, or telling Sundancer there were no hostages, or shooting that fucking baby.
