Oh Leland with the temper to cover your wounds... Sigh. I love to think that if she had said something to Lee this would've maybe been the catalyst to them talking during their brief affair, which would maybe later prevent maelstrom. It's all so tangled though in that time frame...
Re: the why tell Lee question... I don't think you needed to explain it (and definitely not in an author's note.) Julia told Lee because he identified himself as the commander of the air group, and she was worried about one of his pilots. Seemed clear. (And who knows if she even knows Sam? I could easily see Kara never mentioning him, considering he wasn't much more than an afterthought/booty call for her at this point.)
