Ha - Natalie is Doug Flutie - I love it :) Doug Flutie totally doesn't need Jeremy's permission to move on! And aw, Jeremy has a nice moment at the end. I like Dan's gentle but firm insistence, being upfront with Jeremy, and not sugarcoating it, but also not looking to hurt his feelings.
What he didn't expect was how much it hurt when she did.
I think that's the kicker of the Doctor and Martha - he really didn't value her until it was too late (and I say that as a card carrying member of the 'Rooooose!' fanclub!). What I admire about Martha is exactly what you outline here - that she's sensible, and she values herself too highly to stay in a situation that isn't good for her.
And aw - Dasey! Derek wanting Casey to be jealous - I can so see this :)
