As sands through the hourglass...this is such a soap opera. They even had a fertility doctor in the family so now we’ve got to wait for more puzzle pieces to be found before we can see the whole picture. Mommy dearest is a pain to put it mildly and I wonder what she has on Jack.

TJ can’t do that? He freaking owns BHO and can run a background check if he wants. All these secrets and Jack apparently knew this whole time. Doesn’t seem like he’s very trustworthy not to mention now TJ is starting to wonder if his own mother had a hand in the death of his father. You know in the last/first story Emily had started to redeem herself towards the end and looked like a good mom...and once again her true nature is revealed to the world. She has done nothing to earn any controlling interest in BHO as far as I’ve seen so even if I forgave her I’d never let her have any stake in it as someone like that is only going to cause the often inept company even more trouble. TJ needs to be surrounded by people he can trust...but such an enterprise often breeds liars I suppose.

While the bomb for TJ could have been there for a while since they haven’t been in the apartment I’m suspicious there’s more going on. Maybe there’s more people involved than the 3 they stopped plus is Richard smart enough to pull this off? I mean he seemed shocked CC was waiting for him so did he even know she was in town in order to put the bomb in her hotel room? Just seems like they need to keep their guard up.

Is the leak from information spread though BHO or someone who was in the hospital room when Tristan’s potential was revealed? Seems weird they’d be spreading information about Tristan around BHO...but maybe they’re planning to recruit him in the future. Doesn’t seem like anyone in that room would be working with Richard.

So Tristan is psychic and mom has more secrets to drop. So much to unpack in this chapter.

What are the chances? I thought it was a stereotype that all gay people knew each other 😂

Why does it seem like every time the BHO is brought up that it’s to reveal their incompetence? I mean now someone is apparently leaking info. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Sounds secure... 🙄

He got hit by a bus...sure I’ll buy that. 🙄 Good riddance to bad rubbish

And there goes the other shoe. I suppose it’s too much to hope for that this is a dramatic guilt ridden fake out to get TJ to reconcile with her? Nah sadly it’s surely more darkness on the horizon for TJ.

...Keys left in the car and all that money. 🤦🏻‍♂️ If we didn’t know better I’d think they were helping him run away. Total incompetence and jeez how CC is the only one who remotely understood TJ is a major shock to the system. I’m still sad for TJ as while he says he’s happy he had or felt like he had to give up on his dreams. He potentially missed out on something big while running from the shadiness of his own relatives and a job that it sounds like he’ll end up with anyway.

These fools and their secrets are going to really hate themselves when TJ gets hurt. I mean his father’s grave is a prime location to keep a lookout for him and what idiots who are assassins & spies leave keys in vehicles, fail to guard every potential exit, etc. TJ getting away makes them look majorly incompetent and as their boss I’d see some firing in their future possibly his own relatives would be out of the job just for pure pettiness as I can under his anger over the constant secrets. Their keeping secrets constantly tend to make things worse and mom “promised “ 🙄 to stop keeping secrets so not sure how much I’d trust her word going forward if she’s going to repeatedly renege on her promises.

Great likely another kidnapping not to mention TJ’s future is essentially being decided for him. Well I suppose if he owns BHO he should be able to do anything he wants with it ranging from giving ownership to someone else to disbanding it. If the CIA wants Beau then potentially he’s the best person to run BHO.

Things seem to be looking up lately but I’m a pessimist I suppose as I’m worried something is going to go wrong for poor TJ. Let’s hope I’m just being silly.

The CIA had 2 kids assasinated? Seems way out of bounds for them to target or even really care about two rich teen rapists. Then there’s their desire to recruit Beau who intellectually we knew nothing about until now though apparently he’s considered a genius by them. Perhaps it’s related to how he always knows what TJ is feeling as maybe he’s good at reading everyone like that which could be an asset for a spy. It’s interesting but the CIA involvement seems to come way out of left field though I suppose it spices the story up a bit. Not like we really needed more drama lol

Sounds like Dylan & Sebastian might be in Oz. Too much to hope for that someone dropped a house on them isn’t it? Honestly since they’re rich they might have gotten away with it yet I’d rather see them receive a jail sentence than dead not to mention we don’t know the motive of the kidnapping. We can assume it’s related to the rape revelation but it could be something else entirely. I don’t want to support say the actions of violent homophobes or rapists if it’s something like that no matter how much I hate them for what they did to TJ as well as possibly others.

Jeez, is this Days of Our Lives? 🤦🏻‍♂️ I preferred Passions but the last thing we need in this circus is for a demented witch to show up. 😂 Hard to believe TJ and Dylan are related yet family can be a pain sometimes...just not typically this bad. I figured the cops picked the creeps up so now I’m left wondering who’s arranging the revenge. If JC let it slip to his fans, though I’m sure he wouldn’t, I could see some psycho fans kidnapping them for upsetting their idol. 🤔 Well they do have connections to the military who protect their own and I could see some say ex military guys possibly getting some revenge on TJ’s behalf.

Oh boy I thought TJ blacking out over photos of Sebastian & Dylan having sex was a little intense but I honestly never expected it to be that they raped him. I don’t want to seem like I’m blaming the victim yet TJ was aware Sebastian was there, realized he was drugged, realized/remembered Sebastian was definitely involved in drugging him as he gave him the drugged drink, he realized he’d been raped, and finally he received proof from Dylan that Dylan definitely raped him yet he kept dating Sebastian? It’s like he suppressed Sebastian’s involvement and while I can understand rose tinted glasses making him ignore people telling him Sebastian was a cheating jerk I can’t comprehend his ignoring his involvement in his being raped as even “if” Sebastian didn’t take part he helped Dylan. Of course we know there’s no way Sebastian wasn’t directly involved. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I mean I’d better understand it if he blocked out the memories as people sometimes block out traumatic events yet despite his somewhat thankful memory loss of the rape itself his memories seemed intact. I’m waiting for the next shoe to drop as life is looking like hell for this poor kid

It started out so sweet but why can’t Sebastian & Dylan leave TJ alone?! Is this new dig because they heard about Juilliard and want to ruin whatever newfound happiness he may have? Looks like he needs to block Dylan’s number now though with all the texting apps available while it seems drastic he probably needs to change his number. Can’t believe that people like that exist who get pleasure out of causing others pain.

Ok, so it was blackmail which is great in a way I suppose as it’s definitely forgivable but wow I’m still kinda lost as to how things got to this point. Pretty much everyone in his life conspired to keep his brother’s relationship with his best friend a secret from TJ which I think was incredibly stupid. For starters despite knowing TJ is gay Lucas never confided in him that he’s gay, bi, or whatever as TJ apparently thought he was straight. Seems weird that your best friend would confide in you something that big and you wouldn’t do the same in return. I get why Beau didn’t tell TJ to some extent as he wasn’t 100% sure of his sexuality until he started dating Lucas but Lucas is unlikely to have been in a similar situation. Just seems like he’d have told his best friend who outed himself to him and then I don’t totally get the whole fear they had at telling TJ about their relationship. Yes, clearly TJ took it badly as he punched Beau yet that proves nothing. Beau waited to tell him after his dad died leaving TJ depressed and after TJ walked in on Lucas having a threesome with his boyfriend so of course he was really upset likely in part at the idea his brother who he is really close to him said he forgave the guy who was involved in the previously mentioned threesome which broke TJ’s heart. At the time TJ didn’t know why Lucas was involved as it just looked like a major betrayal and if my brother casually told me he forgave someone like that as well a was dating him I’d be pissed as well. The fear they had just didn’t seem rational and yet all the adults seemed to fuel their fear by advising them to keep it a secret. Hindsight is 20/20 but you’d think grown adults would have likely learned by then that such secrets tend to cause a lot more problems than they solve.

Ok, Beau seems to really love TJ so now I really want to know how Lucas got Beau aka his boyfriend to forgive him for cheating on him not to mention taking part in a threesome with his brother’s cheating ex as I would think that added detail would make Beau even more angry with him than he’d already be for the cheating. Unless Lucas was being blackmailed/forced to take part, which seems unlikely, I don’t get what he could say that would get TJ to forgive him as I’m surprised Beau did. I definitely can’t wait to hear this “explanation”.

I’m not sure Lucas could ever “explain” anything well enough I’d forgive him if I were TJ. I mean he’s essentially condoning Sebastian’s cheating on his best friend by taking part in that and clearly it wasn’t a moment of weakness on Sebastian’s part as those texts show how terrible a boyfriend he was. I mean his so called excuse is he was horny and that TJ was stupid to trust him not to cheat aka naive to believe him when he said he’d wait until TJ was ready for sex. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Both don’t seem worth 2 cents.

🤦🏻‍♂️ Brucie when will you learn that karma is a real...well let’s keep this PG. Happy to see this blowup in their face once again.

Poor Rick’s pretty much non-existent confidence can’t exactly be raised by all the negative responses and the insult he just received at the bar. While Hank seems nice enough even he was sorta categorizing Rick to be a “dad” like him and not remotely imagining he’d be there trying to find a guy to hookup with likely due to Rick’s age. I want to blame most of it all on his lack of confidence but...we don’t know what he said in those emails, texts, messages, etc. as it’s hard to imagine that without even meeting him they could see his lack of confidence as a turnoff. It’s not impossible depending on what he said and how he presented himself yet I dunno. Overall the community can sadly be very toxic and judgmental when it comes to looks & age so sadly that may have been the biggest reasons he’s received so much negativity. Hopefully this piano teacher is a possibility as Rick is someone who likely needs to find an emotional connection rather than just a physical one in order to heal...though part of me wishes his healing process could involve running into his rapist and punching him in the face at the very least.

I know it’s not exactly on purpose as he doesn’t know the full story but it’s terrible that beyond being raped his dad has repeatedly, admittedly unknowingly, brought it up over the years as how can he somehow forget it(he never will and likely needs therapy) if he keeps being reminded of it? It is however a shame that his own father lays all the blame at his feet in regards to the drinking, clearly cares more about his business & reputation that his son, and also that he perhaps spreads these stories around. I mean Walter’s comment could have been completely unrelated but I can’t help thinking that his father might have warned him that his son is an alcoholic or something along those lines. Poor guy has been haunted all this time and even when miles apart he’s still terrified of his dad’s reaction to things like potentially upsetting an annoying customer or refusing to date someone he doesn’t want to date. He’s still under his fathers thumb and can’t be himself even with his best as well as likely only friend.

I’m starting to suspect Ryan is gay and is afraid to admit it possibly even to himself. His “wank material” for instance was pretty intense for a supposed straight boy, though like Wayne he could simply be an exhibitionist. Just seems like if the jealous vibe Owen was picking up is right and/or if Owen somehow angered Ryan’s sisters that it all hints at more than just a very friendly friend. Not sure how Owen would feel if he found out Ryan is interested in being more than friends as despite his feelings for Alex I’m betting he’d feel really confused as I could see him falling for Ryan pretty hard if he thought he a had chance with him.
