So, their playing in capes? Perhaps socks and capes as the colors need balance. 😛

Role play…My Sweet Lord 🎶

Remodeling starts early, perhaps 🤔 Andrew has already considered which pieces of furniture to sacrifice in the Baron’s bedchamber? Then again, educating the kids may dampen their sexual forays…they’re growing up so quickly. 🤣 ..

Hmmm, me hopes these bowl is not anything of interest to Ralph. Does Ralph know more of DNA research because he and/or the Norwegians are products of that secreted away program? If secreted away, why does Ralph risk the revealing and all the scrutiny 🧐 of the claims? It’s just a bowl and not the holy grail, (would that be literal or figuratively speaking?)…these are not the droids you’re looking for 👀. It seems like the bowl has greater significance than being a mere aged relic. Now for the more important business…just what does Oscar want to ask…that he doesn’t already know? Unless…playtime is universal language of love.

Hmmm 🤔, better they coagulate, Than let their evil permeate. Lest they turn innocents to evil, But evil amplified, bad deal. Their hanky panky makes one puke, Evil gauntlet, one in the chute.

Ethan was the twin Nathan, Carter is the twin Jason, Elena is Richard’s wife and Dexter’s stepmother, but she is former known as Grace, birth mother to the twins (AKA Ethan and Carter) and the life long love interest of Simon; Carter’s adoptive Dad. Also, with the near simultaneous relationship to marriage timing that Grace had with both Simon and Richard, is Richard truly the father of the twins? So is Dexter a half-brother to the twins or is he a step-brother. Just exactly why did Richard suddenly become free of Dexter’s mother? Was she an arranged marriage, and just how freely was that family agreement placed upon Richard? 🤔 I can see many possibilities for more sinister plots affecting the lives we’re learning about in this suspenseful murder mystery? Now, who the hell is Dexter’s birth mom, and what happened to her? How did Dexter come to know and be so close to Jeremy’s mom Laura, as neighbors? So was Richard that close to the family his son Ethan was to fall in love with? Is Dexter’s dad, Richard, dead? Did Elena inherit a share of the family estate? Therefore, Carter is maybe an heir too? Why the name changes from Grace, Nathan, and then Carter, yet Simon retained his name. Was indeed the the fake husband, and crazy brother, that plotted against Carter, but really targeting Simon, as coincidental as it appeared or was it more prompted by other objectives of a yet to be discovered party? How, what, and why, does Elena believe Ethan was killed and that now Carter is going to be discovered by Dexter; making him a target too. Is this all inheritance and greediness, of a multiple murder psychopath at work?

The sad reality of generational life styles is a very real and tough thing to overcome. Uncle Brendan/Newdad was a facilitator and mentor that probably made all the difference, making the new life possible while breaking that generational lifestyle and making it a thing of the past. Kudos to all the Brendans in the world, willing to take on kids in need of care, kids needing special care and healing, kids that need a strong life coach, and an good example of how normal should look. These things can take years, even decades to overcome the brainwashing, and abuse suffered in the hands of someone that should have been much better.

Wow, Jacob doesn’t get boot camp, he get the boots camp; both the left and right are intense, and set on training Jacob to be his best. Conversely, it’s a God that seems to be playing God with Jacob as the cheese in the trap for Q to desire…at the price set by daddy dearest, the God. No doubt, Q doesn’t trust the Godly intentions, nor does he speak of the Gods ever having best intentions for other than themselves or their amusement. The end of the chapter highlights just how torn Jacob is living in the middle. The gods made each side want to kill the other even when they can hold respect for the other and call them honorable. It’s a god mandated battle for the sake of battle and for a god’s pride…even at the costs of total destruction. 🤦‍♂️ Another great chapter.

Oh that wonderful age where your best friend was truly a partner, as the bond was usually reciprocated by spending all free/social time together; compromising on what each other wanted to do or more than likely stepping up to try what the other wanted. Mates growing together and bonding so closely…until the age comes that slowly interests, jobs, vehicular freedoms, romantic interests, etc, starts to pull that friendship in ways that you can’t always be there, can’t always share; losing the way it used to be. 😢 Sad, yet life continues to pull… Nate will forever be a trusted friend. I may only call or talk to my trusted, best friends in youth, occasionally, but we are always picking up where we left off and sharing plans, dreams, and schemes; friendships from afar, but yet timeless. Love that Nate is what many of us cherish and lone for life to bless us with eternally. Great Job, MPP

It was implied in an earlier chapter than Elena was involved with his dad and that Ethan was his brother, so I’m assuming he is an actual step son to Elena. But the same reference conversation expresses disdain that she spread her legs for his father…so he is not a fan of his step mom. I believe Eric is the name belonging to the voice where Carter instructed him to keep looking. Was it for the aunt or does that just get them closer to the person for which he is searching? I’m thinking this is possibly mom’s sister and not the vengeful evil sister of his departed dad. Yes, Laura has big time issues and unfortunately she’s embraced Dexter, which is the most unstable of the two!

Unfortunately not every abused child has an Uncle Brendan and Uncle Rich, yes let’s not forget that Uncle Rich enabled Brendan to help the children live in a normal loving home with normal extended family, nor does every child get a good psychiatrist. I’ve seen the results of good and bad psychiatrist; nothing malicious of the bad ones, just more interested in patient/money count than helping or being what they should have been. It’s great to have this prequel/epilogue series for the kids. I’m hopeful, @Lee Wilson, that we may get a chapter on Brendan and extended family, for some since that normal extends beyond the kids and their personal battles/victories. Grandpa Brendan and Great Uncle Rich deserve the rewards of not only rescuing the kids, but that of the family they worked hard to make possible.

Not only does she realize he’s growing up, but she has suspicions about who or what will shape his life. She said a lot with her statement to Danny; especially considering this is the same very morning that she’s expected to explode on Danny. Instead, she restrains her own feelings enough to listen to Danny. Though he didn’t say much verbally, he did say he was ok and safe physically, he also showed that he is realizing he has life decisions ahead of him as it’s taking serious thought when boys to men are thought to be too immature or incapable. So they had some major breakthroughs in communication and, dare I say, trust building from a new level of respect; yes he’s not a kid, but this will still always be your home. Many self imposed pressures at the age you so appropriately acknowledged as impossible to define; I think because it happens at differing ages and in different ways as different maturities can be manifested in knowledge areas or experience. Youthful intellect can be like looking through a soda straw; perhaps clear, but narrow in scope. So even a smart young man needs coaching to broaden his intelligence with more worldly experience, so like mom, Danny also needs to refrain enough to listen to others before making his decisions. Indeed, It’s a very tough period for youth.

Understand that, I wasn’t implying anyone could/would say “he’s my boyfriend” as a defense. I was saying if two gay guys went on a date across state lines, they would not be automatically arrested for statutory rape, as would happen for having a young lady out of state without an adult present. Keep in mind statutory rape doesn’t require sex, but opportunity with a minor across state lines. Growing up in south alabama, where another state border is only 45 miles east or west; where a concert in Pensacola, Biloxi, New Orleans, etc. could and did get young male friends in trouble, often because the girls lied about having permission to go. Then when caught, the girl’s parents would press charges against the unknowing young man (minor boy) for statutory rape; instead of punishing their daughter that lied 🤥. Where as, two young men wouldn’t likely face that same mentality, and if parents of either boy pressed charges it would likely backfire and be applied to both “deviants,” for all kinds of sodomy and other sexual deviant laws still on the books. However, unlike the automated statutory rape where no sexual activity is required or attempted, for gay males the sexual activity must have occurred or been in progress, attempted, or physically happening; and no parent can say that it happened without physical evidence or given testimony by a victim. It requires a higher standard. So yes, gay guys couldn’t be openly dating due to many laws, but just two discret or non-openly dating kids couldn’t be charged for statutory rape while crossing state lines on a date.

Oh those pesky age of consent laws. What many don’t understand is the youngsters can enjoy the age of consent without youthful rape charges, however in many states in US you’re still a minor. You can’t marry or leave home without parental consent. Sex with a boyfriend over 18 in many states still means rape regardless of the age of consent, While some other states have implemented laws with stipulations of age differences of 2 years, possibly more for a few; so a 16/18 hookup is ok, as is 17/19, but not 16/19. I believe in most states the relationship that Jake and Danny have would still be subject to rape charges…irrespective genders. Likewise, the age of consent doesn’t apply to many states having statutory rape for taking a minor across the (state) borders. So watch out for taking the girlfriend to a concert; this is where being gay takes that charge away from the zealots of youthful prosecution, often at the parents of the girl’s request, …even if the boy was fulfilling the dates request to go and she said she had parental permission…argh.

Don’t just tell him, record them and let him hear exactly what and how they treated you; no misunderstanding what they meant. Argh, how vicious they are and Dexter is like a Hyena, waiting to attack went you’re either down or not expecting it.

Well perhaps, when the Amixorpians take the Governor General’s earth words literally; after his first ever teleport, he is heard saying…fuck me! Is that so gay? 😛

It was said to be two earth years. My question would be, what is the time passage to be for Brett…as he should return at only slight older than his present age; making him even more young relative to his peers and family.

As the old saying goes…be careful what you wish for! Haha poof

Pole vaulting? Or sticking the landing?

I think it was Dexter that made those claims of seduction, while Jeremy remained frozen in his own mental guilt trip of having “cheated” on Ethan during Carter’s demanding challenge. Jeremy definitely has his own issues but I think it is also exposing deep seeded issues from Carter also… 🤦‍♂️ maybe they are two peas in a pod. 🤷‍♂️ The ironic part is that they both have feelings for each other but they can’t see it. Yet the malicious and selfish people around them feed the flames of distrust in effort to pull sway their way. The most honest on the surface seems to be Jeff and perhaps Elena. All others are manipulative and spiteful; Carter’s aunt, Jeremy’s mother, Dexter, Lopez, etc. Whom is Carter hunting? His father raised him with the vindictive Aunt Shelia, but where is his mother and why were they parted in anonymity? Meanwhile Ethan’s mom married Dexter’s dad, but is Dexter a step-brother, half-brother, or the seemingly less likely full brother from separated family/siblings? More importantly, could Ethan and Carter be family; brothers, cousins from these secreted away memories that Carter has of closeted claustrophobia? Many mysteries and many possibilities…oh, what a wicked web we weave, when we practice to deceive; ourselves or others in my mind. Haha

Yup, leering from the door crack, the cockroach, Dexter, is about to implode. Meanwhile, the cheating referred to is likely to be kisses 😘, but in the strict sense of Jeremy’s love, it was a terrible breach of his life long relationship with Ethan. Wow, instead of begging Ethan for forgiveness, Jeremy goes into the mindless Hulk mode to destroy all that matter to him. Then he goes into full self hatred for Elena being the one to put is memorable items back in position of cherished love and father of his children. 😢 🤦‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ Does Carter risk his love on a relationship with Mr Nitro Glycerin? 💣

Alien probes?

It’s our own fault that we don’t know their home planet of Knor-Wei and that they can take our form.

10 MINUTES DANNY, we’ll at least she didn’t call out his full name in mom shame voice! Haha

Wow, does this animosity mean that there are deep secrets to Ethan’s Illness? When did Dexter enter the picture as friend, half brother, step brother, or otherwise, and how deep is this envy Dexter has to have Jeremy to is own? Wow, could such evil be the cause of Ethan’s unexpected decline and death; ☠️ by brother??
