I'm not surprised at the news or at Vincent's reaction, but I look forward to seeing how Lor will react. He'll be even more protective and eager to get Dillon away from Earth.
I loved Ver casually walking in the door and saying those cells were easy to get out off. The major and everyone else will regret whatever they've done to Dillon. If Lor doesn't kick their assess Vincent will.
It's sad about Harry not accepting Dillon's relationship with Lor, but at least it's probably because he's an alien and not because he's male. The bomb was a nasty surprise.
Uh oh, I have the feeling Robbie made the wrong decision. He should have told Nathan that Alex probably only acted that way because he was in the closet and wanted to distance himself from anything gay. When Nathan doesn't believe him, he can prove it by telling he had sex with Alex.
For every chapter I'm looking forward to the moment Robbie gets to pay Don and Sue back for every instance of bigoted and insensitive behavior.
Lowell did ask the most important question, and it was probably the best comfort he could offer Alden after the betrayal of Singer. With one terrible act he lost his daughter's respect and his best friend and made it easy for them to abandon him. Bet might forgive Singer for herself, but she won't forgive him for beating up her uncle who has always been kind to everybody. Lawrie showed he's a better man than Singer, and he'll be able to warm his lonely heart with the gratitude of Bet and the approval of Lorna. I'm glad you say her prediction will soon be fulfilled.
This chapter always scared me. It was so full of sinister undercurrents and evil plotting, yet in a way it was understandable how Singer and Dandiprat acted. They are afraid and for good reason, because love will triumph over hate. Especially at Christmas time, right ?
Lorna is one of this world's true heroes. Unselfish and caring and making the best of the cards she was dealt.
I had to laugh a little at Bet being nosy about Alden and Lowell's evening. But I guess we all share her interest.
Glen and Bettina are perfect for each other, and I'm glad they had such a romantic proposal moment.
I get all whenever I reach the final part of this chapter. I'm forever grateful that Alden and Lowell found each other and were honest about what they wanted for their future. I feel sorry for Lawrie, but Bet did the right thing in finally talking to him, even if it was two years too late. Alden showed he had Bet's happiness as a priority, but her father may not agree.
So Bet finally admitted how she feels about Glen, and she has good instincts when it comes to trusting Lorna. Singer is devilishly clever in making Lawrie Bet's protector, because he knows his daughter does not fancy Lawrie, but even if she did, that would keep her with the troupe. Fingers crossed for Alden and Lowell at this point because that is the pivotal one of a budding relationship when you have to find out whether you both want the same thing.
Ohhh, this is not a chapter you should read on an empty stomach. Now I have to go eat something before I go to bed.
Bet's father is a sly one, and the jovial front seems to cover a more sinister depth of feeling. But one can almost understand his need to keep the troupe together and in particular the two most important people: Bet and Alden. It shows he recognized their worth - and his words to Lowell proved his ability to cut the heart of the matter.
Bet is a clever woman, but in this chapter, the two men had better instincts than her. She has a blind spot about Lawrie, and I think Glen was right to insist on pointing it out. And while Bet may protest nothing was going on, Lawrie surely interpreted the moment correctly. Who knows what might have happened, if he hadn't come in? Lowell has come to the right place to capture the spirit of Christmas and perhaps the attention of someone special.
I can't say I'm a real Doctor Who fan, and I have no clue about most of the stuff you're discussing, but I do recall seeing the TV version in UK during the 1970'ies or early 1980'ies. In the beginning I could barely understand what they were saying or doing, but my English cousins loved the show. A few vivid scenes remain in my memory along with image of the signature scarf and telephone booth.
I'm glad Aaron was there to rescue Kevin and to give him sensible advice. They deserve the love they regained. As for Mark he was already lost, but at least he gave Kevin a place to stay for a while. I'll assume he didn't give him any STDs along with it.
I'm glad Bobby seemed to be able to shed his silly human inhibitions about monogamy and love. He's a fairy now and should live accordingly. I think he made the right choice and will be happy forever.
