Jack does a bit of hugging in Stargate, but as far as I can recall, he does the long hug plus shoulder kiss twice -- once with Daniel in The Serpent's Lair, and earlier with Sara near the end of Cold Lazarus. Can anyone remember him pulling that move with anyone else?
If not, that's an interesting thing for the show to do. It's an explicit connection between Daniel and Jack's ex-wife for Jack.
Then there's the almost metatexualness of the energy being -- its vulnerability with Sara reminds me of Jack's (much) later vulnerability with Daniel in Abyss. "Where's that Jack O'Neill military bravado?"
Again, it's just interesting.
Also, I notice that they didn't have the Not!Jack interact with Daniel in any meaningful way -- N!J talks to both Sam and Teal'c, but they don't try to have the audience buy the idea that Daniel wouldn't know the truth. These two are the two who know each other.
Cold Lazarus is an interesting episode overall, really. It features the return of 'Captain-Doctor' and has Daniel call Jack 'Colonel' twice. Odd Daniel-ness in this episode.
