Oof, I think Robbie has an idea who the dad could be... 😯 As if his life wasn’t complicated enough. While there’s a chance that’s not the case um what else could it be? Seemed like a pretty obvious direction things were going in but to have Sue drop the bomb on Robbie like that was definitely an unexpected turn. I just can’t understand the secrecy and why Stephanie wants to talk to Robbie so urgently if she’s not pregnant. I suppose she could have discovered afterward that she had an std and wants to warn Robbie he could have contracted it as that’s the only type of thing I can see her being so discreet about as well as concerned about Robbie’s reaction outside of her being pregnant. If she simply has developed feelings for Robbie and wanted to ask him out I don’t think she’d be so worried about anyone overhearing the conversation the way she seems to be. There’s also another slim chance it’s gossip about Conner or Nathan which she doesn’t want anyone in Robbie’s family overhearing yet that seems widely unlikely.

Well, I suppose I can understand the abrupt question by Mr. Romero asking if Tristan is homophobic as ridiculous as that sounds to us readers as his comment about not wanting to ever speak to his “dads” again could easily be read that way and obviously there’s evidence at least one of Mr. Romero’s sons is gay so I can see why that might concern him. Still, I can see obviously why Tristan would be angry as if Mr. Romero knew his family, which he should know enough based on public info not to mention some of what has just been said such as Tristan’s grandfather being head of the New York LGBTQI Legal Center, then he should be aware how ridiculous a question that is. I didn’t expect Tristan to simply teleport out, though I understand the urge. I can’t recall if they have the ability to wipe/modify memories but there’s been a time jump forward in the story so “maybe” they know about the existence of rare individuals with powers as perhaps they’ve released some knowledge to the public, such as the science behind male pregnancies, in recent years. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Otherwise if neither of these is the case there’s liable to be um questions.

I’m confused as to their actual “former” legit relationship yet from his words I infer they were possibly best friends before the fake relationship was started. If true that is a major backstabbing move to use your friend like that. I mean either way it’s horrible yet emotionally it seems more cruel to be manipulated like that by a friend vs say a complete stranger. Clearly flashing back to their attempts and finally success at sex she seemed reluctant to take the “scheme” to that level yet eventually she did rather than at that point confessing the truth as you’d hope her conscience would urge her to. That level of greed is unbelievable and her actions are unforgivable. I mean sure I can understand the temptation yet how do you essentially destroy someone else’s life to get what you want?

We don’t know Zeke’s past yet though it’s clear both guys have their own inner demons and hopefully they can help each other deal with them. Wyatt...I can’t say anything and keep it PG so I’ll just say nothing. 🤷🏻‍♂️ As far as G goes I shockingly agree with part of what he said. Obviously, I don’t agree with the idea of Tyler being handed over to the police given the track record they apparently have yet I can’t help seeing his point with regards to Zeke. I know Zeke surely has his own troubles but he clearly lost perspective on the case when it came to Wyatt so I can understand G’s removing him from it. If he can’t separate his personal feelings from the job and remain as objective as possible he’s liable to be a liability at some point.

Oof, Stella is one tough cookie, though I understand that in some ways she needs to be. I kinda suspected Nathalie was playing him and that he had a history with Chase yet I am beyond disturbed at what his parents were doing to their own child. I hope mommy & daddy dearest get a nice dose of karma sooner rather than later.

Tristan is very protective of his family, though regardless Dylan, Sebastian, and Richard clearly had no idea who they were dealing with as if he hadn’t handled them someone else would have. At least with Tristan they lived...well if you can call that living. 😂

Oh poor Giada is having a mental breakdown...delicious. Sergio’s encounter with the “lone gunman” not being explained and his sudden emotional breakdown has me wondering if it’s all an act as strange as that may sound. I mean he has every reason to be upset yet I dunno it just seems suspect for some reason. Is the gunman perhaps connected to Eric and now Sergio is making himself look vulnerable in order to destroy their enemies from within? A tad far fetched, but in this new Grimm fairytale you never know what’s gonna happen.

Honestly, I was deeply afraid it would be something like that but still to see it actually in writing is still jarring. I can’t imagine what type of twisted individual could do such a thing to anyone let alone his own sister, though the parents make me the angriest. How can they be considered human? Sounds like in Brendan’s case the rotten apple didn’t fall far from the gnarled tree.

Juanito is a real piece of work but what’s new? Glad to see Raj realized he could do better and maybe his words will slowly knock some sense into Juanito. Ugh, I hope Mr. Price now knowing Jared is bi doesn’t try to have him fill the position, though if it were only a matter of logistics I suppose it would technically make sense.

This is a chapter haven’t commented on until now because I guess I don’t really have much to say. We didn’t really learn anything shocking except that Julia lied. I mean Justin called her about Jared and she pretended his sperm donor having the same name as her lovely brother 🙄 was all a coincidence while surely she was able to connect the dots since she was aware he had another son. I don’t know why she’s hiding the details but I doubt it’s simply because she didn’t want to air family drama in front of the kids & Hannah. Something is definitely up and I don’t even want to begin to speculate as with daddy dearest you never know what skeletons you’ll find in the closet.

Ugh as I commented in a previous chapter if Zeke was working undercover and his relationship was fake why oh why did Wyatt need to know his real address? Rent an apartment or something when you’re doing undercover work for goodness sake. For being a top secret, highly funded, supposedly highly skilled group who apparently according to a previous chapter even have a method of erasing memories they’re kinda stupid when it comes to common sense apparently. 🙄 As soon as they mentioned having an informant/hostage it was obvious that it was going to be Wyatt. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m a little lost as to Zeke’s reasoning when it came to telling Tyler about how the other group would be planning to interrogate & torture him if he had gone with them. He tells Tyler to follow him to the black room in order to prove it but all he’s proving is that the group he’s with does that. It doesn’t necessarily prove this other “organization” does the same, though I’m sure they do. I don’t blame Tyler if he’s lost on who to trust as he’s been dropped into a chaos filled situation without knowing which way is up.

A need to create a small checklist to see if I have all my facts in order: Juanito told Andy that Raj was aware he was seeking a job “working” for Mr. Price, though not all readers bought this story. Juanito commented to Brett that he didn’t have any of his business cards on him when Brett offered him his implying he is still selling his body to others beyond Mr. Price as otherwise...what would the card advertise? It merely may have been a joke, though it didn’t seem like one at the time. It has now been made 100% clear that Raj never had any idea Juanito was still selling himself for money and was not happy about the revelation. Also to put it bluntly Juanito revealed this in a very bitchy way implying he didn’t really care how Raj felt about it. He also only revealed he was working for Mr. Price and failed to reveal “if” as suspected he still has other clients. Edward & Romel gave Juanito an ultimatum regarding college as well as potentially living with them forcing him to choose between money aka sex work or the opportunities they were providing. Finally, Juanito’s call to Raj implies he decided to quit “working” for Mr. Price yet we can’t be sure that’s the actually outcome as it’s merely a guess since he clearly won’t be with Mr. Price tonight. We technically don’t know if that text was Mr. Price and even if he stops “working” for him it doesn’t mean he’ll stop “working” completely. Ok, to be clear I’m not damning sex work in the least but considering all the opportunities Juanito has been given I hope he makes what I consider to be the right choice which is the admittedly more boring yet stable & safe work of being a part-time waiter along with attending college vs sex work. Seems like such a waste for him to turn down the opportunities presented to him by Edward & Romel who truly only want what’s best for him. Overall his attitude has reinforced the bad impression I’ve had of him from the very beginning but everyone deserves a 2nd chance...though this seems like his 3rd chance. Still, we’ll see what happens. As far as the catering went...Justin went way beyond the call of duty to deliver those drinks. I’ve heard of getting drunk anally as crazy as that idea is 🤦🏻‍♂️ so isn’t there a good chance that pumping alcohol directly into Justin’s bladder could not only have potential health risks but could get him drunk during the event? A drunk Justin staggering around naked while a sight to see might result in some unhappy accidents. Glad it sounded like Craig talked him into this being a onetime thing, but where does he get these ideas? Very...inventive.

Such emotional and thought provoking stories. We still have some work to do but those who came before us went through so much in order for us to have the rights we have today. As far as the catering went...Justin’s talents can’t be understated. 🥵 Does he do birthday parties?

I sorta feel opposite about this. Raj has been their friend for a few years now and they barely know Juanito even if he is family. Overall I think Raj definitely deserves to know what’s going on and his friends should be the ones to break it to him before his heart gets broken by learning about it some other way. Obviously though Edward needs to gather more info as right now it’s just a guess on his part. It makes me a little angry as I wanted to give Juanito the benefit of the doubt yet not only is he cheating on Raj with Mr. P as he surely doesn’t know about his “night job” but Juanito’s comment to Brett about not having one of his cards indicates he’s also still working the wall as well. Makes me wonder how Juanito is possibly doing in college and if he’s quit as surely he has little time to study. This is why I repeatedly called Juanito lazy as I just feels like he’s backtracking into what he considers an easier way to make money despite the opportunities he’s been given. I know lazy may not sound like the right wording yet while he’s apparently still keeping up with his part-time waiter job I can’t believe that he’s not neglecting his studies to be able to provide his “services” and if not for alerting Romel & Edward as to something being up I’d have expected him to have quit working for Craig & Justin already. Seems like Raj is starting to fall for Juanito and this is likely going to crush him. The poor guy deserves better and so far it’s just disappointment after disappointment.

If that’s what happens after a few eager touches they better use protection... like a surge protector whenever they eventually have sex. 😂 Otherwise Ronnie is liable to end up extra crispy. A rubber suit or skintight force field may be in order going forward. 😉

This is such an addictive story and an interesting pair. I wonder if the thunder was possibly a sign that Taran hasn’t unleashed his full potential yet. One’s psychological state can likely impair their abilities and obviously his denying his true self could he putting a mental strain on him. While he still hasn’t come out to his parents now that he’s dating Ronnie he’s embracing the fact he’s gay and being his true self if only around Ronnie & May which could be helping to weaken any mental barriers that “might” be impacting his powers. It just logically makes sense to me that his receiving essentially a watered down version of his mom’s powers is unlikely and that something like his mental state could unknowingly be limiting his potential.

I do agree with what you’re saying regarding Justin’s self-esteem and belief in the position he holds in the business. Craig was dismissive of Justin’s ideas originally partially I believe because it made him uncomfortable for multiple reasons. Craig originally wanted to likely run a sorta high class catering business so Justin’s risqué modifications didn’t align with his original plans not to mention Craig was initially clearly unhappy seeing his boyfriend ogled by others. He seemed to get over his jealousy quickly though but I have to wonder if it’s partially because of the clientele being all female as his old jealousy may rear it’s head when they start doing gay events. Thankfully in recent chapters when it came to ideas for the entertainment portion Craig seemed to give Justin free reign and I think even called him the boss once implying to me a now sorta 50/50 arrangement in the sense Craig is over the food while trusting Justin to be over the entertainment. Justin often runs things by Craig, which I’m sure reassures him not to mention food is often involved in the entertainment meaning some collaboration is needed, but I think Craig is trying to give Justin control over that portion of the business which will hopefully help his self-esteem going forward. Now mind you that doesn’t mean Justin feels like an equal partner as I suspect he doesn’t. Craig may need to sit down with Justin and clarify their business as well as personal relationship so that Justin knows where he stands. Perhaps they could even draw up a legal document legally listing Justin as owning half the business, though considering their personal relationship...maybe they could just get married? 😉 I honestly, as long as Justin doesn’t foolishly try to hide what happened, don’t see this chaos ruining their relationship. I think given the circumstances Justin made the best out of a bad situation and I don’t think Craig will blame him...though I doubt he’ll be jumping for joy. Justin’s gym buddy may have come through in the end yet that was only after they got caught by Cynthia so I doubt Craig will be very thrilled with this guy and may have a few choice words for Prudence if he ever meets her. Maybe he can enlist Edward for some help?

Damn, Justin was put in a difficult situation and I can’t blame him though I am somewhat disappointed that in a sense he chose the path of least resistance. I understand why he did what he did but I think Craig would rather deal with the potential fallout rather than have Justin have sex with someone else. Then there’s the fact he couldn’t find it in him to trust Cynthia despite having known her for some time. Part of what concerns me in all of this is Justin’s thinking regarding Craig’s potential reaction. Sure, I understand his concerns about his actions potentially being seen as cheating regardless of it being due to threats but I don’t understand his concerns about Craig’s possible reaction if he didn’t comply. It almost seems like he thinks Craig would be mad at him for not complying as if he thinks Craig would want him to have sex with someone else in order to save the business. That just doesn’t make their relationship look very stable if Justin thinks Craig would expect that of him and of course there is a different way to take his thoughts of “their business could be seriously affected and Craig would want to know why.” which could mean he was considering not telling Craig about the situation if hadn’t complied with the threats. That doesn’t make any sense to me as I don’t get why he’d want to conceal what Prudence was threatening to do and while I understand Craig may be upset I hope Justin comes clean about what happened as otherwise he could learn about it from Cynthia, which would make it look very bad.

So Tyler is one devious guy when he wants to be and Zeke...honestly the one who’s gonna be screwed is Tyler. Zeke seemed pretty confident he could weather the storm if the truth were revealed but regardless of how things turn out for him at least he’ll live. According to Zeke & Corey their boss will want Tyler protected by the “proper authorities” which in the past has apparently had a 100% chance of resulting in the witnesses being killed. Zeke is going to have some serious wrangling to do if he hopes to avoid Tyler being placed in the custody of some government run agency.

Wow I knew Zeke exploiting Tyler’s feelings for him in order to motive him into eating while initially having positive results would inevitably backfire yet I never foresaw it manifesting in the form of Tyler running headlong into danger. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Well it’s good the landline is routed through his work or some such that the location is still considered secure. I can understand Zeke’s position as victims often fall for those who rescue them and/or take care of them so Zeke would surely feel like he was taking advantage of Tyler in his current vulnerable state if he made any moves on him. Tricky as Zeke’s reasoning is for Tyler’s on good yet obviously the rejection hurt Tyler to some degree adding to his existing depression. Thankfully he seemed to understand Zeke’s reasoning and has opened up to him about still needing help.

I was worried about this. I was concerned what Tyler saw out of the corner of his eye after getting out of the shower could have been real yet so little info was given I just assumed it was another hallucination. Clearly at least most of what Tyler saw if not all was a hallucination yet now that he’s aware that he’s been hallucinating I fear he won’t necessarily believe it if a real threat appears. I mean despite Zeke confirming he heard it too Tyler is now trying to calm himself down by saying the voice on the phone wasn’t real so he may let his guard down around legit threats thinking they’re hallucinations. Sounds like it’s time to move to another safe house, assuming Zeke has one as clearly if the guy has the landline phone number the location is compromised.

I believe I’ve heard starvation can cause hallucinations so malnourishment, depression, and traumatic experiences combined should create one massive snowball of mental instability so I’m not remotely surprised Tyler is in the grips of such a breakdown. So, Zeke works for a group that has the technology to wipe memories? He in an offshoot of MIB? Crazy that a agency put together by a rich family to hunt down a serial killer has such methods at their disposal but I suppose anything is possible with enough money. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Tyler needs therapy to help him cope with his depression but how do you get someone such help when theIr very existence is a secret? Perhaps Zeke’s friend, who’s a doctor, could at the very least examine him and discern he’s not been eating. Zeke’s clueless on that point which is partially because he doesn’t want to pry too much while trusting Tyler’s word yet obviously something needs to be done. With Zeke trying to be home more I suppose Tyler will now be forced to eat more(as in eat period) as otherwise Zeke is sure to catch on that he’s starving himself.

So a rich family set up their own task force that receives recognition from government agencies considering they work alongside them. Interesting. The news about Wyatt and their relationship makes some sense. Undoubtedly over time Zeke would feel something for Wyatt if only pity and considering the way he is able to compartmentalize his emotions I can see him being capable of pulling off an undercover job like that. Seems though if Zeke’s place is seen as a safe space they’d have set up a temporary apartment or something if the relationship was an undercover job rather than leading Wyatt to his real home. Seems risky not to mention while Wyatt didn’t know exactly what Zeke did he clearly revealed his job was top secret which if it were a purely fake relationship why not make up a fake job? That’s either sloppy work or signs that Zeke let his guard down to some degree when it came to Wyatt.
