what's that word?

I need a word and I can't think what it is... MS Word's thesauris is no use at all, because I can't think of anything that's even close to what I want. If I could, of course, this wouldn't be a problem.
The first thing I came up with is "dynamic", which is no good...
Maybe some context would help? Can't hurt. :)
Like so: "It had been [that] mission which had begun to change the [something] of their relationship." With the 'something' being, of course, the word or phrase I can't come up with. What it ought to be is something that implies... sort of a shift in focus, but not quite that. Maybe it won't fit into the sentance quite the way it is now, I'll have to mess around with it a bit. But what I want to say, basically, is that the characters go on this mission, and it's sort of a turning point in their relationship. That the relationship changed after that. (And I don't want to say it was a turning point. I really really don't.)
Anyone have any clue what I'm going after here? Even something close, that I can plug into the thesauris that'll maybe get me on the right track to what I want?

And yes, I do realize I could just say "it had been that mission which begun to change their relationship" and skip all of this nonsense, but I want the word. :)
