I agree, because aside from 6x01 they have no interactions until 6x10 and even then that's a little iffy because it's more that they sit next to each other and Audrey talks about them. So it's really not until 6x14 that they even truly interact again on screen. That's a lot of eps of nothing.

At least in season 5, as little interactions as there were, they never went practically half the season without interacting.
