A tough chapter, everyone has a lesson to learn about playing safe...

Darius seems to be quite the little charmer, one has to ask, how is Bitty paying for her fix??? She isn't immune to the AIDS plague...

Robbie is going back with Brad, at first I was concerned the bag he was initially asked to bring back might/may have been a plant by Neil...Have we seen the last of the little 'C Ya Next Tuesday' boy???

Can't let this go by without a listening...is Robbie broken beyond repair???

Robbie poked Neil without a condom...what a frigging twat...

One thing we now for certain, whatever Neil is sticking up Neil's ass can't be the 2x10 that is currently a resident in his own ass... We had a nice dinner and then they were off. I watched the Falcon take off, wondering what exactly Neil was sticking in Robbie's ass that got him off, and was keeping us apart.

This is a new story to me and it looks very interesting. Loved the following description...simply brilliant!!! I’d never actually spoken to Mike Delport before. I was wary of him, but at least he’d never called me “Piano Fag” like Frank Arliss, the beefy lock who with his high forehead and thick pelt of chest hair looked like a cross between an Orc and Frankenstein’s monster.

The mending of fences has begun, trouble in lovers paradise addressed, and while frayed and hurt feelings partially assuaged, the hard part for Dani and Giaco is past them “No!” Daniele shook his head desperately. “We’re friends, that’s all. We both understand that now.” He glanced miserably down at his fingernails. “It’s you that I want. It’s only ever been you.” He sighed, then made the humblest offer he could. “But if you didn’t want to be with me any more after this… I’d understand.” “Hey – I didn’t say that, Dani,” Giacomo replied. “It’s just… this pretty much sucks.” And then...talk about opening the box of unintended consequences... “We know what you’re doing here,” Giacomo spat at the green-eyed boy. “Why do you people keep trying to ruin our town? Take your mobster crap somewhere else.” Cosmo backed away warily. “I... don’t know what you’re talking about,” he blustered. Giacomo took another step forwards. “Oh, yeah?” he countered fiercely. “So, we haven’t seen you and Enzo guarding your little cache in that compound below town, taking orders from your dear aunt Assunta?” I can't imagine this comment will go unnoticed...

I get the feeling David is gonna be, like the rest of the boys, something special as a young man/adult!! Now I needed a new photo of David smiling. Before heading home, we went to the photographer. While there, he showed us a blowup of a photo he had taken earlier. “These photos are for hanging in your home.” “Dad is an artist he paints our pictures.” I thought thanks, David. When I told Colin he said I should get used to David bragging on me. But I don’t think I ever will.

Caleb brings a much needed view of the world of innocence that has been lost by the others. It is a poignant counterpoint that provides a grounding the others need, it refreshes the basic humanity that gets overlooked/buried in the minauta of adult day to day life. A very precocious child who's cup of human kindness is overflowing...One hopes that as he grows, his core remains...

Which is a bad attitude and a poor choice for a gold digger...

Let's not forget Gordon Gekko...

Is Robbie that insecure?

One negative test is great but to be sure another is needed a few months down the road, of course this is early days and as long as all play safe, they should be fine...Neil worries me, I have to wonder if he's not playing safe behind Robbie's back...

When the following bit that was said in the argument over the phone between Brad and Neil, I have to wonder...did Neil hear this part or has it yet to sink in... “You know Neil, Robbie is a great guy, an amazing guy. You don't deserve him. You're so busy scheming to spend money he doesn't have, you don't stop and look at the man you've got in front of you. Fuck you

It's only a matter of time before Robbie finds Neil in bed with someone else...it is a given...what a whiny little bitch...Don't hold out much hope for Robbie unless he pulls the blinders off...it's a wonder how he can boink Neil considering the 2x10 fir beam Neil has stuck up his backside... Frank was right, someone better is out there, tho I am finding it difficult to empathize with pretty little, spoiled rotten, rich boys...

Amen brother...from your lips to...this comment was very succinct and cogent

How did I miss this.....

Oh what tangled webs their hormones create, will Marco take it upon himself to clear the air with Giaco? We know nothing about where he's been or up to, his state of mind. Obviously Danni needs to sort out his thoughts/emotions, and we've got ASSunta, Cosmo and a few handguns thrown into the mix... Hopefully, like pulling a bandaid off quickly, a meeting of the minds so to speak between Danni and Giaco will go towards a reconciliation...but,

Calvin...Calvin...Calvin..., the damage you've managed to create, satisfying your own personal demons, has caused incalculable harm. Staked to and over a fire ant nest, slathered in honey, would be too merciful for you... One can only hope that from this Bryan begins to accept the help he needs.

Loved this chapter and it helped pass my lunchtime...Lots of interesting threads in this chapter, I still remain concerned as Joel about others who may be out there...it might be possible/necessary to consider rescuing folks from other Arks that may fail...what a conundrum that would be...

All I got is the following and @Jim Fraser's comment... Giacomo shook his head. “We’ve been through this already!” he exclaimed. He clapped a fist to his heart. “I love you! I mean… what more can I do to show it?” “You say that,” Daniele mumbled, “but…” Giacomo’s clenched fist fell loosely to the dirt. “Don’t you trust me…?” he said quietly, his dark eyes wide and dismayed. Daniele couldn’t bring himself to answer him. He looked away again, wrapping his arms around his knees and burying his face in them. “But…” Giacomo murmured, “I crossed the line for you, in front of everyone. I risked everything.” Daniele drew a ragged breath. “I’m sorry!”

Pat is back and will soon find a role to play, no doubt!!! So glad David got his portrait, what an important healing moment for him. I wonder id GG has insight as to why Louise is behaving as she is...it is very concerning to say the least... For some reason, Louise didn’t like David. I didn’t like that and even after punishing her, she didn’t stop. Colin said she was a spoiled brat.

Steve scored a very impressive food for thought point wth Bryan with the following comment...and boy it is oh so true and hard for a teenage to grasp... “Yeah, it is. My point being, however, you can find ways to stand up for your friend and be who you are without having to fight as your first act.” “Did you ever get into fights?” “A lot, but it was never my first option. There's more than one way to put up a fight.” Bryan needs to step back and reevaluate his actions/behaviors' towards Kenney, who at this juncture feels as if he's being led on...

And just where is Parallax while all this is going on, while Beckett's journey begins to save his irresponsible backside for losing the star???
