Yup, me too. It’s naturally a darker story with murder and suicide in the forefront. Yet the one true light that pulled Will through it all was Aidan. Now the ending snuffs that light and we’re too believe after: loosing his best friend, getting raped by his best friend, multiple suicide attempts, multiple murders associated with him, being duped into supporting the murderer, loosing his father before acceptance in differences and then watching his husband’s life fade as he held him, that somehow he is now in control? Will would be depressed and suppressing severe survivor guilt that Aidan gave his bright and cheerful life to save his miserable soul. His suicidal thoughts would be rocketing and saving himself for Aidan’s sake wouldn’t be within his grasp; he would be mad as hell at Aidan for his foolish actions of continuing to investigate and then sacrificing himself (his option, not mine). No, I can’t accept this dark mystery ending that suddenly gives Will more sanity than he has display throughout the story…sorry, it doesn’t fit. As well as it disqualifies the young Killian character that many of us were glad to see reappear. He enters as a hero that saved a friend versus a hack that could be charged with obstruction and possibly involuntary manslaughter of multiple people/counts. It also removes him from any believable reappearance of other mystery investigations and it would be a probable separation of Killian and Asher should any mystery be investigated by Killian ever again, if that’s to be believed. Nope, too many mismatches for me; the enjoyable light faded with Aidan, as he is needed to make a mentally surviving Will exist. I just don’t see Will wanting to survive without Aidan, in the context of getting past these tragic events of those terrible two days.

I’m not sure that Lyn hates Alexander, but he is distracting to Brad, of which Lyn fantasizes constantly and Alexander just doesn’t fit into those “if only he was gay, fantasies.” So it’s not traditional jealousy but yet it is “his Brad.”

You guys are all giving up before anyone qualified and rational pronouncing Aidan dead. Nope, I still believe in there only being only one possible death this morning, and that would be Caitlin as Will hit her again and again…because she deserved it! 😈 From the Prologue we hear from Will’s mind, the voice of Joey, then what I believe to be the two witnesses from the pool house. Perhaps both Aidan and Caitlin will live, but please oh please EMS, save Aidan first. Let the bludgeoned bitter bitch suffer as she doesn’t need to plan after recovery activities anyway.

Well….Will is very depressed and not the best at reacting under this kind of pressure. Nor is he likely to think rationally about yet another death on this happy, turned depressing grief day. So is Aidan really dead? I hope not, and the epilogue may very well prove he too can defy death. How ironic that we could have a gay married couple that have both technically died but are still living happily as Will is now a famous painter. What? I’m an optimist! So I’m hopeful for… Will is a major question mark if Aidan doesn’t survive this. All the friends will have to be on suicide watch, yet Aidan was the best at pulling Will back from the brink of forever. So I’m not in the mood for… So instead, let Aidan say…

Sorry that this story has personal familiarity for you reflected on Will’s relationship with his dad and family. Family is a fickle thing, but when it comes down to it, it is usually the one thing you can count on...that they will be there when others may forsake your call; hence the ole stereotype of blood is thicker than water. Unfortunately stereotypes are not reflected in all family life. Caitlin is quite the mystery and possibly the biggest red herring of all. I don’t like her, I don’t trust her, and she’s not shared to the extent she seems to think Will should be. She doesn’t disclose or want to have Will go to the baby progress checkups, yet she is quick to ask for help; though Will did set himself up for that. So she doesn’t want to shall her life, family, or baby, yet somehow she seems to have a possessive claim on Will and his life. Possible Likewise, we learned that a girl was one of or possibly the last to see Joey alive. From Robbie’s statement a girl has heard arguing with Joey, but that doesn’t narrow it down to the murderer being female; only that a female murderer must also be considered or that it may be likely. Aiden’s being foolish…but aren’t we all when trying to balance our individuality with that of a marriage that may impose restrictions that are less than an agreeable compromise. So is Aidan acting in Will’s best interest or is he withholding because some secrets can’t be explained logically? Will did sound very depressed and leaning towards resignation when talking with Asher, not his best suit as a suicidal veteran. Aiden should know the sensitivities Will has to keep his balance and either be more discreet or more open.

No one would suspect this guy, he just has that wholesome quality when you look upon him.

OMG, Mia has degraded herself to point of seeing herself as Ian does. Sam is dead balls on to press her in hopes of saving herself. Hopefully his words and acts do sink in and she moves towards accepting true responsibility. But with her help with charges against Ian, she should be able to get to plea deal that forgives much of her prison time…probation, community service, and restitution. I’m honestly shocked that even Ian could be quite that bold as to smirk in full exposure, so I’m desperately hoping that this is a Gael nightmare of his insecurities of he and Alex’s safety 🙏 🙏. Welcome back GRADUATE 🧑‍🎓! Congratulations @vanalas 🎈🎊🎉🍾 and thanks for the update.

And what happened to the recommended verification of the baby even existing, an ultrasound, or a medical diagnosis? Then verification of it being Joey’s by at least a blood type awaiting DNA. Likewise, it should have been an escrow agreement so the trustees pay the bills filed up the the escrow balance or as agreed; such as 50/50, or 75/25, applied for prenatal child care. Yet, as done, I think Will just paid tuition for a very important life lesson and should not expect anything in return; as I think Caitlin is about to disappear if she can.

What a wonderful real life chapter. Who wouldn’t have doubts as they walked into the scene as Aaron did. He reacted a little more emotionally than one would hope, but again, they were starting from fragile and doubtful. i love how Harry inserted himself into the frantic effort to halt Aaron’s assumptions. But more than that, he show skill in defusing Aaron’s mistrust by saying more than he was vocalizing. He attested to Tony’s long history of talking about Aaron, by he also said how the ladies were all thinking he was straight and avoiding them. The message also says Tony never had a relationship that they were aware of…whether male or female…Tony’s love life was a mystery as Aaron was even doubted as being real. This unspoken reassurance from Harry probably spoke more than the simple words did to settle Aaron’s doubts. And again, this is so realistic as a real life crisis that fortunately didn’t go into outer space before the rockets burned out. Houston, we have a problem, how do we get Aaron back to Earth 🌏? So Harry was a hero for this chapter in the life of Tony and Aaron.

Oh, but hopefully this search search warrant not only gives the police plenty of evidence to make these charges stick, but amongst that plethora of evidence that they also found evidence of the suspected foul play in the boys parents “accident” and the subsequent abuse of their inheritance and trust funds. It’s now time to put a freeze on all the accounts and properties from these ill-gotten funds. The so called Big Man will most likely fall to the public defender’s office as even the returns on any investments are from those some ill-gotten funds. Woohoo 🙌🏿. On down, now where are those other secret rooms…Daniel?

Simple, take his empire from him and then put WS-IV in charge of its entirety. That would be an acid down his throat and perhaps leave him the babbling, drooling fool locked with his own mind…that’s a hell of his own creation.

I thought you got the gist of the chapter captured in the first sentence! 🤣 As for poor Henry, he is definitely having a bad day and all courtesy of Walter III; what a worthless millionaire, but an abundance of greed.

Prince Aulus is an ass. Acting in such a manor without authority or blessings is an arrogant political stunt, but was it without authorization? Unfortunately Jacob disclosed his knowing the simulation was flawed and therefore he remains untested in Aulus’ eyes. Now when did/is the simulation ending?

Well, it could affect him too as he witnesses firsthand what happened to the family after learning through tragedy the grave error in making Nathan survive in an unforgiving world. They may have thought Nathan would return under those harsh conditions, but totally misunderstood the gay ‘choice’ was not a choice and left Nathan without assistance, support, and a family that would protect him. A rather lonely and possibly a resignation to let death claim him. 😭 If after learning what they had truly done they find no peace accept to protect others as they should have protected Nathan, then perhaps losing composure is nothing compared to the grief and regrets they live with in the mirror and in seeing Nathan’s pictures while wondering what he’d be doing today if he was back at home.

I had much the same feelings about the new property becoming more than Tony’s Sandcastle. All the guys are of the age that extending their fatherly boundaries will probably become second nature. With the primary structure and the additional housekeeper structure, there’s plenty of space for hosting, but I’m not implying that the Safe-haven Hostel be in the main structure, but possibly conveniently located or even attached to allow desired access to increased familia settings if the kids are ready. With Tony and Aaron on site, and a great representation of gay couples with long established partnerships and jobs next door, and with probable interest, there is much potential for mentoring all kinds of young men; whether as fathers or big brothers it will happen naturally based on age, maturity, and emotional needs. Of course staff and a counselor being available is a necessity but occupancy and the demographics of those occupants will determine the workload and staffing requirements. Youth will connect with whomever they see as relatable and trustworthy, but that’s not going to be the same person for all youth; it might surprise them as to which kid may start showing interest in hobbies, recreation, jobs, etc. Everyone is unique and the kids will prove that. But having access to a normal home common area with adults living their lives but setting examples of what these kids could achieve too. And the big, big, kicker is that the community is a great size and has become gay friendly, so as to raise these youth into confident young men ready to walk their own paths when their minds and bodies are ready. Some will become local family, while others may drift away until possibly their minds yearn to return home too.

Walter III needs the chair or an injection; even from within, powerful and connected people still wield too much influence over life outside, and he is beyond any rehabilitation. There are literally skeletons buried and hopefully the wife knows just enough that they may discover were they are buried. The premeditated murder attempt on Walter IV by a professional hit man says Walter III is a cockroach beyond reasonable doubts, that needs a good shot of Raid Cockroach Formula.

And from IV to III, eat shit and die, glad I could contribute…daddy.

So sorry, Mr Walter Sampson III, it appears that in haste to get your upper endoscopy accomplished, the same endoscope used to check your son’s lower bowel following his abdominal surgery was inadvertently returned to service without proper cleaning.

Kill the old Gavin and let the new flamboyant Gay Gavin 🌼 blossom 🌸.

Once the former agent gets the Crouching Tiger to relaxed his pounce stance, then his first aid ⛑️ training will provide time critical triage; will it be in time? He call outs he commanded upon entering should have the EMTs and police there any moment now. Hopefully an observant policeman man see and quickly detain the attacker as the area should be locking down with Quan’s words of someone is attacking students as he commanded the emergency alerts be made. My only reservation is that it could possibly delay the EMTs access to Walter, but I doubt Quan will allow that to stand for long. Woohoo, you go Boy and Mary. Hopefully Micah can step up and get a yield from Boy once the situation becomes secure. What about that training and his daring acts to stave off the attack? 🙌🏿 Mary, Mary, quite the aristocract with a full understanding of multipurpose stilettos! 😂 That’s a rather penetrating new dynamic for Mary, but she seems to have everything well in hand. Maybe Mary has found her calling, MMA stilettos may just be the next fad.

Well, considering Gavin got a running start…or was the a streaming start, 🤔 hmmm. But then again, Terry said it ends today; perhaps overtime?

Gavin is very near sighted. terry is his latest enemy no. 1, so like the idiot that he is I’m sure he thinks he will surprise or try to humiliate Terry. Hmmm 🤔, remember that telephone pole and Ted there Gavin? Terry can easily bench press your sorry a55, so good luck with thinking you’ll win in a game of eye-for-an-eye with Terry.
