I was thinking Kate MacLean, too, with the narrow point of view. We are inside Doyle's head, but have no idea what Bodie is really feeling, only getting to see his perfect behavior under pressure.
I'm trying to tell myself that Doyle's hesitation is really just a split second, before going in like he is trained to do. In the episodes, Doyle does what needs to be done, and saves any doubts and feelings for later. He really doesn't display that kind of behavior (though we aren't mind readers, and Bodie has said he is scared all the time, for example, but we don't really see that from his actions) So conceivably, they could both be scared to death, but in this story, Doyle is always the one needing support from a Bodie who knows it all, and has so much more experience.
