I know we have little info on this Wyatt but if his first instinct is to assume Zeke is cheating and threatening to kill someone he thinks Zeke is cheating on him with without even trying to hear their side of things then I say Zeke can do way better. Not sure what he saw in the guy in the first place but given his job, whatever it is, perhaps he just doesn’t meet many people so his options are limited. I suspect while it may be an official job of some sort this specific target may be personal for Zeke as he seems very determined to catch this particular killer and as far as his job goes I can’t even begin to guess. Obviously he isn’t typical law enforcement and an agency like the CIA for instance doesn’t track down serial killers so there’s too little to go on in order to remotely speculate at this point. I guess we’ll find out eventually.

Ugh poor Gareth has no backbone but it’s also likely his subconscious memories are paralyzing him. There’s still clearly things he doesn’t remember which may be linked to his lack of self-esteem especially whenever there’s a chance his sexuality will be questioned as the homophobic situations are when he’s really paralyzed. Fear and peer pressure can be a terrible combination.

Well looks like Stella is getting her groove back and Chaise/Chase is a mystery. How does he know Gareth? Seems like more than just a casual meeting in the library has occurred in the past for him to make that comment about Gareth always breaking things. I can see many students and parents being outraged at this play so let’s all brace for the inevitable homophobia. 🙄

Oof...poor guy apparently sucks at foreplay or maybe getting to the “main event” as quickly as possible was due to her nervousness. At least the way Gareth is talking I suppose his memory has fully returned since otherwise I don’t know how he was aware they hadn’t had sex prior to his accident unless she frankly brought the subject up herself.

🤔 As many point out the situation with pretty much everyone in Gareth’s life is a little odd. Admittedly some people are standoffish and don’t display emotions very well so you could chalk his family’s lack of emotion up to that especially as Gareth himself seemed to note his mom doesn’t display emotions yet he knew she loved him. The girlfriend situation however is a little odd in that she didn’t seem to visit him, at least not when he was conscious, despite supposedly skipping school because of his “accident”. I put accident in quotes because it’s apparently so vague that even the victim/MC has no idea what happened and I wonder due to the lack of info in the newspapers if his family had whatever happened covered up. Also his memories regarding green eyes had him call them handsome which would lend themselves to him remembering a green eyed man rather than his supposed girlfriend, though considering this story is on a site called gayauthors.org do we really expect the main character to be straight? 😂 He crushing on or secretly dating his girlfriend’s brother perhaps?(Just theorized based on him remembering “handsome” green eyes and that to my knowledge green eyes aren’t super common so not impossible the girlfriend is linked to this person “if” the memory was/is accurate.) That’d be some drama.

Justin and Jared should have a dna comparison done as surely they can discover if they share the same father. Juanito boldly seeking out a job with Mr. P while at the same time dating Raj is a surprising turn of events though as long as Raj is cool with it and he can multitask I guess more power to him. His conversation with Andy shows he’s clearly still feeling bitter over the rejection as well as possibly still has feelings for him to some extent which is likely mutual considering how the conversation seemed to throw Andy for a loop. Things keep getting more complicated in the Price household. edit: After reading @Summerabbacat’s analysis of Juanito I can see their point. I was sorta giving Juanito the benefit of the doubt but I admittedly had a bad feeling about him after his introduction as well so I dunno how to read the situation. For instance, I didn’t buy his story of role-playing since to me you don’t role-play your actual job and that put a bad taste in my mouth until @Wombat Bill confirmed he was actually trying to role-play with Andy. Some cynical part of me still thinks of him as lazy and greedy as to why the job with Mr. P piqued his interested despite acquiring a reliable job, a place to stay with minimal expenses/costs, and the ability to go to college which is what he supposedly wanted as to me that should have satisfied him enough. I am curious as to what Raj actually knows but I’m honestly not sure how close they are emotionally speaking. I suspect Raj still has some feelings for Tristan as he seemed to have harbored them for a long time and they got together when Juanito had recently been rejected by Andy who he potentially had feelings for so it felt like both guys were in similar positions of wanting someone who they seemingly couldn’t have. Admittedly, Juanito’s feelings were never clarified so it’s hard to ascertain his feelings & motives. Also, Andy is sorta part of Raj’s circle of friends so it seems risky for him to lie about Raj knowing as Andy and/or Thomas could easily let it slip to anyone in the group including Raj himself outing Juanito’s lie. Open relationships are not unheard of and some people don’t consider sex related work as cheating so either way I could potentially see Raj being ok with the situation. I guess we’ll undoubtedly learn more about what Raj does and does not know going forward.

🤔 I agree with some of the other comments regarding the precarious nature of their conversation. Mr. P can come off as a nice man yet as we’ve seen with Andy he has a dark side so trusting him with such info could be disastrous. Jared losing track of time with Mr P as well as Thomas knowing Mr. P’s interest in men may lead to Thomas feeling suspicious & jealous. That will likely only increase with time now that we’ve been given the impression Jared is going to be spending a lot of time with Mr. P, which even if Thomas doesn’t get jealous of the remote possibility of sex happening between them Jared’s attention being divided between Mrs. P & Mr. P will likely result in little time for Thomas. I mean when is he going to have free time? As far as Mr. P saying that Mrs. P would explode if she knew about Jared & Thomas....why? I honestly don’t think she’d mind “except” maybe because she seems to see Thomas as a son she might not like the idea of being in a relationship with Jared for concern of hurting Thomas so she might end things yet I doubt she’d “explode”. 🤔 @Summerabbacat I’m not sure what to think of Jared’s explanation as at times it seemed all over the map. I think in a way it’s tied to his pain fetish in a psychological sort of way yet was also just revenge as he sorta admits to in the end. He did want to get back at Thomas while he also seemed to have a big need to prove himself. For some reason he seems, despite his bisexuality and apparent skills in bed, to have seen acquiring his “job” for Mrs. P as a challenge which I sorta link to his pain fetish as he has a desire to overcome things. In a way it makes him seem vulnerable as if he feels he has to prove something in order to validate himself or in other words perhaps indicates low self esteem despite his personality not expressing that in the least. I also understand sorta his comment about not wanting to be with men as to partially why he took the job as he still had feelings for Thomas and was upset over what happened so since he’s bisexual he can easily avoid some of the reminders by switching things up so to speak. Who wouldn’t want to be paid for doing what they enjoy doing? Doesn’t hurt that he could get back at Thomas to some degree by potentially making him jealous while also keeping him close by. A very tangled web of emotions and drama. I know Thomas loves Mrs. P like family but the easiest as well as likely best solution is just for both of them to quit. It’s not like Mrs. P is in love with Jared and surely Thomas could get another job. The “family dynamics” are just way too complicated for anyone to be truly happy with how things are.

A very interesting Christmas for all. As far as the Prices go...I’m not even gonna speculate on what’s going on there. I’m sure we’ll likely have more clarity on that in an upcoming chapter as they don’t seem able to keep secrets in that household.

Damn Kim’s secret was a lot darker than I could have ever imagined. Stories like this is why it’s good to be gay cause you won’t end up marrying an evil witch...ok you “might” yet they’re the fun kind. 😂 If we assume Eric survives, which we should never assume anything, it’s very likely he’ll suffer memory issues that will result in him not recalling Kim’s secret or Jayden’s schemes. What a tangled web of drama.

Maybe maybe not. Now they need to warm up. 👀 😉

🤣 Damn gravity said “Boys you need to cool off.”.

Very interesting & sweet to learn how everyone met. Can’t help having some pity for poor Raj considering the reaction he had to Tristan’s revelation. He’s probably upset about Tristan’s experience snowballing, especially with Snowy, because if I recall correctly early on Raj had a unreciprocated crush on Tristan. Poor guy was sorta ok when he learned Tristan wasn’t interested in sex with anyone(I recall a comment earlier on about Raj hearing rumors, possibly from Justin, about how Tristan self-pleasured himself without wanting to have a relationship with anyone.) but now that he knows that’s not strictly true it must be tearing him up inside with some level of jealousy if he still has feelings for Tristan. Not sure how much time passed between chapters yet Andy & Dean’s relationship seemed to progress very quickly and now as Edward pointed out something could be stirring between Raj & Juanito. Unexpected couplings but it’s great everyone has found someone(I’m assuming Thomas & Jared will get beck together.)

😂 Oops sorry I was just too busy wondering about if I could order one of Justin’s treats. ☺️ Does Craig offer shipping?

Wow, a few interesting revelations. Seems like Juanito is a little jealous and perhaps is truly interested in Andy despite his previous attitude seeming to indicate otherwise. If that’s the case I hope he lets him know sooner rather than later, though to play devil’s advocate I suppose he could simply be holding a grudge after Andy turned him down for sex. Theoretically Andy’s showing an interest in sex with someone else could be hurting Juanito’s pride as unlikely as that scenario is as jealousy seems much more probable. 🤔 An entertaining twist that Jared & Justin could be cousins or perhaps siblings, though the latter would be a big surprise. Some surnames are very common but Jared’s noticing their physical similarities hints at the likely probability of them being related. I recall in the previous chapter somebody theorized that “maybe” Jared was the child of Desmond & Virginia, though thankfully despite not knowing her maiden name that seems highly unlikely as they both might be less than thrilled to put it mildly if they learned they were committing incest considering Jared’s relationship with Mrs. Price(Virginia).

You know Sergio is a nice enough guy but he is also the definition of a naive fool. He dismisses all of Eric’s concerns essentially telling him he hallucinated, essentially tells him to forget his near death experience, claims he’ll protect Eric though it was Eric who shoved Sergio out of the way thus saving his life, and overall I just see Sergio’s rose tinted glasses impairing his vision to the point something bad may happen which he’ll blame himself for not preventing. Whoever this new villain is their apparent hatred for Eric & Kim is not to be underestimated as Giada seemingly has found herself a truly wicked partner. I’m curious what Kim’s secret is and I wonder if it’s that one of her children, likely Sergio, is illegitimate. Of course with the way she treats her daughter it could be that Adrianna is the product of her husband having an affair considering Kim seems to have few maternal feelings towards her especially compared to how she treats Sergio. Not remotely shocked to see that Giada is capable of murder though it is sad that Brice despite all of his faults was killed while trying to protect his son.

Thankfully Justin stopped at the hot pants or Grandma might have had a heart attack...or um “attacked” Justin. 😂

Sounds like all the women are potentially moving in new directions with their lives, though Virginia(Mrs. Price) is hard to read. Gran wants to be more active which can’t hurt in the least, Jessica is looking to enjoy her newfound freedom, and Virginia just maybe misses Desmond enough to be reconsidering their current relationship or lack thereof. With gay marriage seeming to have a high probability of being legalized Mr. Price “may” be ready to come out of the closet as that vote “might” signify public opinion wouldn’t be too negative against him if the truth were revealed. This would leave Virginia free to be with Desmond and I’m sure she’d be given plenty of money in the case of a divorce if that’s one of her concerns. I’m jumping to conclusions based on very little evidence but anyone who’s been in a marriage of convenience for that long must be very tired of pretending to be something they aren’t.

Perhaps you can blame it on stress from the homophobic talk of his teammates but while I like Connie him sorta ditching Will, if only temporarily, thus leaving him alone with Strider of all people was a dick move. All 3 of those other guys knew Strider was a creep and beyond rude yet they just left Will alone with him in a seedy sounding dive bar as if nothing could possibly go wrong. I mean, Will was dressed in expensive clothes so theoretically given the environment anything could have happened such as him being mugged though he handled himself pretty well. Kinda also finding the whole gotta go with the guys because it’s rude to ditch a teammate a little ridiculous and wondering if it was bs as maybe he just wanted a shot of cocaine since right after that he was happy leaving. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Why does Will have to always fall for closeted athletes who often have a hidden personality flaws that reveal themselves at the worst times? Is Connie going to get “jumped” in the dark by his assistant coach too(Sry that moment will never not be a wtf scene and I will never forget it cause it was kinda creepy.)?🙄

Go Laurel! Who’s the new villain? We’ve got the manipulative & self-centered Kim who only cares about herself expressed by her own comments such as how Trevor is the son-in-law that would make “her” happy, Giada the evil queen who only cares about money & power as well as who’s gotten the help of a literal witch, Trevor who like his mom I thought only wanted money & power though now I think he actually has some feelings for Sergio even if they are twisted, and now we’ve got the “devil”? Is David his enemy or Eric? We don’t know what all has gone on while Eric’s been away yet I dunno what he could have done to anger someone like this unknown, influential figure. I think the guy that liked Eric and was Sergio’s former friend was called Henry so maybe he’s involved, though surely he’d consider Sergio his enemy rather than Eric unless he’s still angry Eric didn’t want to be with him. Could also be Eric’s so called friend who tried to rape him yet apparently left little of an impression on me as I can’t recall his name. Seems kinda overly dramatic and out there for it to be either of two guys who once lusted after Eric so I’m assuming it’s a new character, though these guys do love their dramatics so who knows? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Edit: I noticed an autocorrect typo and while I was here I agree with @Philippe that this new “villain” could actually be part of Eric’s plan though while it’s calculating and I know he’s seeking revenge it feels sorta unnecessary in the sense she’s ruined regardless. Giada’s company and her reputation would be over with if it weren’t for this contract based on how things were going as she appeared to be poised to lose everything. Just seems a tad over the top but hey if I were Eric I’d go big! The chili won’t turn out good if you don’t stir the pot every so often. 😉 I’m very interested to see if this is all part of his plan, though I have no doubt that either way it’ll blow up in Giada’s face.

Poor Andy though sadly it’s not a surprising outcome. I’m curious if Mr. Price has feelings for Andy beyond sex & friendship which he now might be interested in pursuing. Yes there’s a sizable age difference but...I dunno I wouldn’t say it’s an impossible outcome. I know it’s a wild theory yet Mr. Price was clearly very attached to Andy so it’s not a hard conclusion to draw that he’d be deeply missing Andy. I hope Gran doesn’t want a job in catering... 👀 😂

Finally Sergio grew a spine...mostly as I still don’t think he can fully stand up to his mother just yet as guilt is a powerful tool. Not sure who’s name the house is under but if it’s Sergio’s I’d be tempted to tell mommy dearest to get out too. If it’s not then Sergio & Eric should move ASAP. Why do all these mommy dearests have a coven of evil “friends”? I mean they made that threat about their “type of friendship” and how Kim would pay when they returned...so um what is with that?! Creepy witches all of them. Kim repeatedly saying to herself she’d kill Sergio, locking him up, controlling him, etc. honestly makes her seem worse than Giada in some respects. Those two are going to be a LOT of trouble if they aren’t put in their places.

It’s hard to read Juanito but I get the feeling that at the very least he’s to put it bluntly lazy. He’s likely eager to hear about rich Mr. Price because it’s essentially a low effort high paying “job” vs say waiting tables that isn’t a job that typically includes a high salary. He’s used to selling his body and doesn’t have any qualms about it so why wouldn’t the “job offer” tempt him? He may end up using Andy to further his own gains, though I hope that isn’t the case, and I feel Andy should sooner than later tell him he’s interested in more than just sex. Sounds like a fast move yet he should have told Juanito truthfully that he didn’t want to set up the “job” with Mr. Price because he wanted to date him rather than the complicated mess that unfolded especially as Juanito now knowing about them may seek out the Price’s himself. Nothing is ever simple for these guys.

Heinrich‘s comments about doing something he hopes Rick will understand and other veiled comments have me worried. This isn’t the middle ages and I suppose Rick is a little too old for an arranged marriage to ol’ Rita as that’s one crazy idea that popped into my head. What could this old fool be up to? Nothing good will come of this.

A tale as old as time... I know he’s her husband and I can understand how being raped traumatized him resulting in his current mental state yet I dunno if I would have been too concerned about getting him a lawyer if I were in her shoes. Still, he has the right to proper representation and perhaps deserves some psychological help, though it apparently hasn’t worked so far.

So now we’ve got a literal witch who almost got her ass blown to Oz for trying to mess with Eric & Sergio, Kim is showing herself to be a lovely mother(obvious sarcasm), Giada’s plans have backfired majorly, and Sergio is too spineless to go after what he wants. Obviously it’s partially because he doesn’t want to hurt Trevor though if he knew his true personality I doubt he’d have any reservations. His main issue is despite the verbal and even physical abuse he can’t bring himself to go against his mother’s wishes.
