Yeah, Jade kind of talked me down from the ledge on that one. :"> It was a "thank you for coming to rescue me!" kiss ... but you know, at the same time, she waited waaaaaaaay too long after she did it to see what his reaction would be. You know what I mean? If it was just a simple peck, she could have done it, then turned and walked casually to her car. Instead, she waited and waited for his response. So it seemed like she totally wanted him to take it further, once it was done. Whether it was what she intended when she kissed him, I'd say a firm, "maybe not." :))
And yes, dating Logan would obliterate the OBHWF effect, but ... she had lost everything by that point. IMHO it'd be quite possible for her to want some crumb of it back, even if it was warped and unlike exactly what she had before -- because at this point, the idea of having exactly what she had before would have seemed virtually impossible. But being on good terms with Logan ... that's something she had before, and probably wanted back ... possibly even if this was the way she had to get it. I'm not sure that I fully believe that, but it's a possibility.
The thing that "saves" it for me is the fact that Logan had just done something pretty cool for her, and she was trying to thank him -- plus, I've just remembered, she tells Leo later that "I just made out with my dead best friend's boyfriend, who, by the way, I hate." :)) So at least outwardly, there didn't seem to be any projection going on...
