I’m glad Will has made plans to attend a separate college and has made his feelings clear about why he wouldn’t be satisfied attending the same college as Zach though I kinda hate how rose colored it all went. I mean I’m not that surprised that Will essentially took Zach back, despite how toxic their relationship seems to me, but he was even more of a pushover than I expected considering he went from surprised to eager sex in 5 secs flat despite everything that’s happened. Zach seems like a major hypocrite and I just feel he’s bad news though maybe I’m wrong as originally I thought his love for Will was pretty strong. I’m glad JJ is getting help though I think he’s blaming himself just a little too much. I mean in the past he supported Alex more than he should have all things considered how easily Alex tossed him aside and I don’t blame him for his emotions at the idea of a reunion with him nor do I think he drove Carullo out of the city.

Ugh, I have a bad feeling you could be right just because as you say Robbie is acting like a typical teenager which includes often thinking with his “lower brain” so there’s always a chance he’ll mess things up with Conner what with Nathan suddenly showing interest in him once again. Then there’s the sort of ambiguous way Nathan is acting as we can’t really be 100% sure he is trying to get Robbie back as it all could be innocent/platonic in nature though if his invitation was hinting at a possibility of sex I’m once again not that impressed with Nathan’s actions considering he now definitely knows about Conner. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I really love that Robbie says he’s making the right choice and doing what’s best for him by choosing Conner, though I’m concerned he won’t practice what he preaches. Also, while I understand his reluctance completely I wish he had been transparent with Conner rather than making excuses for not telling him about Alex as I still think it’s better for him to be clear about this especially as what if Conner gets a little dominate or simply wants a blowjob causing him to have flashbacks that freak him out? I’m not saying Conner would remotely be like Alex as his personality doesn’t match in the least yet there’s still a chance something could trigger lingering psychological trauma which Conner could be more aware of if he was informed. I’m also on edge as to what Don may be plotting but we’ve all been worried about that for a while so no change. 🤷🏻‍♂️

In the situation between Brad & JJ I can see both sides. Brad comes in, and as JJ said he’s ignored him a lot, only to start making demands of him. Of course I’m not JJ so I could get by without shopping and dealing with the subway vs giving in. Of course JJ is too fixated on things like shopping to not give in eventually and at the same time he’s probably reflecting on how Will would deal with the situation. I mean Will has butted heads with his dad multiple times and wins plenty of arguments so JJ probably feels like he should be able to as well though that’s improbable. I sorta want to root for JJ as I don’t like Brad’s tactics but at the same time I agree JJ should get professional help. I have a bad memory but I don’t think Will has done hard drugs often before so hearing about his weekend is disheartening as I don’t like the idea of him going down that path as it doesn’t tend to end well. As far as that ending goes...is it wrong that I have an urge to cuss out both Stef & Grand/JP? I mean come on, considering all that’s gone on between those two how could they not let Will know that Zach’s there to see him? I can’t wait to see what Zach says and I’m not optimistic about the conversation. I mean if history repeats itself he’s there because he wants something or because he wants Will back...neither of which I would “give him” though that’s my feeling as Will misses him. Maybe Zach’s assistant coach “buddy time” backfired or something. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I think he’s toxic but Will loved him deeply and for a while it “seemed” mutual so maybe I should be hopeful...nah.

JJ’s attitude surprised me as well though it’s refreshing to see Will enjoying spending time with him even if he is concerned about JJ’s true emotions that seem hidden beneath the surface as obviously his attitude is far from the norm. I’m not remotely surprised that neither JJ nor Will went to Boston as it seemed obvious yet Stef once again disappoints me a little. I mean JJ had nothing to offer to the conversation while Will can be insightful plus he cares a lot for Wade so I wasn’t 100% certain he wouldn’t go though he’s young so his choosing self-indulgence over a family meeting makes sense. Stef on the other hand isn’t a teen, a family member almost died, and he might have had some insights into the situation so his once again choosing self-indulgence over being there for family is a little irritating. Still, I’m glad JJ has made him start to realize the way he’s been acting isn’t exactly proper and that he’s evaluating things as he needs to reconsider his priorities. As far as the meeting went we didn’t learn anything shocking per se though as stated by JP & Wade making an enemy of Elizabeth Danfield is not a smart move unless you have ammo. She’s a confusing character where it’s hard to know if Wade is right regarding what her boundaries are as she seems capable of anything. I tend to take Wade’s opinion to heart as he knows her best, though even if she wasn’t consciously responsible for Alex’s mother ending up in a coma I still want to finally see someone put her in her place, even if it’s not a permanent situation, as she’s seemingly always one step ahead so I’d like to see her lose her footing.

Seems like Ginny is trying to play matchmaker between Robbie & Nathan which is sweet yet misguided. It’s also worrisome as the only sign of arousal Robbie has had lately was towards Nathan so I’m concerned he might make a slip up if Nathan tries to make a move on him. Their relationship was toxic and while it’s not impossible Nathan has changed it seems unlikely any change would be enough to result in a stable relationship between the two so I don’t see a possible reconciliation between them as a good thing. I of course also would rather see Robbie try to have a relationship with Connor rather than potentially dumping him for an ex when in reality it seems like they aren’t even really dating. 🤦🏻‍♂️ There’s more to a relationship than sex yet they barely even have a platonic relationship at this point considering how little Robbie interacts with him though I understand Robbie has his reasons. Of course as far as we know Nathan still has a boyfriend and while all the signs seem to indicate he still has feelings for Robbie we don’t know that’s really the case. Of course...with how hungry Conner is could this be Nathan’s chance at his dreamed threesome?? I doubt it but eh. On the Don front I wish Robbie would take Jo’s warnings a little more seriously as Don could and probably would due some serious damage if given the chance. Robbie needs to be careful going forward though he has a bad habit of not thinking before he acts so we’ll see what happens. 😔 It would be great to see Don go bye bye yet the chaos that’s very likely to unfold is going to be a high cost to see him gone.

Warning, long winded again.: Wow, that bombshell of a bomb was a shock to my system. I’m glad they’re ok though I have a feeling this is only the beginning especially now that we know Alex’s stepmother is capable of murder. By the way, it seems like most of the moms in this series are crazy. 😂 Despite his near death experience as well as the death of both of his parents I can kinda understand JJ not being thrilled at placing host to Alex. I mean he kicked him unceremoniously out of his life while continuously giving somewhat mixed signals by implying he still has feeling for JJ despite his actions saying otherwise so his presence in my home wouldn’t be one I’d enjoy either. Of course at the same time I obviously see JJ as being a bit of a jerk considering the situation as sometimes you just have to deal with a bad situation the best you can. Will’s attitude once again is counterproductive as it only worsens JJ’s disposition and inflames his anger so despite Will being my favorite character I’d kinda like to see JJ find a way to wipe the smirk off his face. Stef once again in my mind is an idiot with his suggesting that JJ go with them to Boston as he says it right after JJ half jokingly says he doesn’t mind Will having sex with Alex giving the impression his meaning is JJ could come along in order to have sex with Alex himself. I mean considering all that went on between them along with the fact that JJ, unlike Stef & Will, isn’t typically a casual sex type of person I feel that his having sex with Alex could open up a can of worms. In the end him not going is probably a good idea, though he may change his mind. Also while I don’t have any negative views of either Stef or Will for their way of life I can kinda see why JJ would feel embarrassed by them, especially Stef, as if for no other reason I actual suspect he’s likely correct in his belief some people likely think he’s easy. I mean it’s wrong to judge someone like that yet people are judged by the company they keep so if you’re brother was someone like Will and your grandfather was someone like Stef wouldn’t it be likely people would assume that you are somewhat similar to them? JJ is in some ways repressed yet I kinda find it refreshing that he typically is searching for a relationship when 99% of everyone else around him will settle for a causal hookup. I can’t wait to read the next chapter and post a massive paragraph about it. 😂

This was a chapter full of surprises. I was hoping Alex’s mother would be in some drug induced coma which they’d find evidence of so that she could be awakened yet this isn’t a fairy tale so of course the reality of the situation turned out bleaker than I ever imagined. Maybe the suicide was due to the scandal the evidence he gave Alex about knowing his wife was alive all this time would unleash yet if that was his only reasoning I have to say pride equals stupidity. Killing oneself over pride is just ridiculous not that he was a very bright man. Elizabeth Danfield is a very manipulative and vile woman who needs to be punished for her various sins as seeing her continuously get away with such actions is making her too arrogant. Also...what are the chances Alex’s mother would have been having an affair with Wade’s father? I love this story but man I feel like I’m on one roller coaster of a soap opera sometimes. 🤣 I guess mom and son had similar tastes since they both ended up with Danfields for a time as well as Alex having married one... Eh I’ll assume Mary Ellen is a Danfield though with this series I don’t like to assume anything as you never know what will happen. 😂 On an unrelated note I find Alex’s apparent distress over the changing/removing of traditions surprising as it’s such mindsets that keep him from being truly happy. I mean I didn’t expect JJ to be his forever person yet he has to hide the fact he’s bisexual because of traditionalist, old fashioned, and of course homophobic views not to mention his main reason for marrying his oh so lovely wife was because it would have been a scandal to have a child out of wedlock. I mean I know he loves his son yet can anyone in their right mind, assuming he’s in his right mind, truly enjoy being married to Mary Ellen? 😂 You’d think he of all people would be happy to see the old traditions slowly changed so that at some point he could hopefully come to publicly embrace who he is but I suppose he grew up with those ideas ingrained within him to the point he can’t help support the old ways of doing things.

The conversation between Stef & Will was unexpected as while the content wasn’t remotely surprising I wasn’t certain Stef would be so frank and open about it with Will. His depression or disgust with getting older is somewhat understandable though as Will said his life is pretty good as is so hopefully he’ll be able to get passed it without causing too much drama during his extremely late mid-life crisis. I’m glad Will is having fun, even if it temporarily reminded him of Zach, though the way Patrick was directing him makes it seem like he’d get annoyed quickly if he spent too much time around him. Will is too independent to want someone to tell him what to do which inevitably rubs him the wrong way though Patrick wasn’t being completely unreasonable. I still find myself siding with JJ even if his alarm move was a little petty...if only because I probably would have done the same 😂 but I hope he’s not too bitchy when Stef apologizes to him. I mean despite Stef and Will’s negative view of him I actually think JJ has matured as well as honestly is oddly the more sensible one in this situation so I’d hate to see him make himself look childish as well as play into their view of him by not accepting Stef’s apology graciously. I wish these brothers could bond for once but they’re too different so they need to find common ground first...other than having sex with the same guy. 😂 As time passes I’m sure they’ll eventually become closer though at this point it’s hard to imagine.

Such a sweet chapter. They’ve both falling hard for each other and I’m happy for Shane as I know he must be thrilled that Deme’s cooking has improved. 😂 They’re inevitably going to get caught. I have a feeling Deme’s father wouldn’t be upset if he were to learn about their relationship, not that I have any evidence to support this gut instinct, and I have no idea how Shane’s mom would react. The real negative reaction will be when Sarah finds out as she will not be pleased her brother stole her crush. 😆

Will is going to be as nice to JJ as Stef is....oh lord I feel sorry for JJ already. 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😂 The short yet revealing interaction between JP/Grand, Stef, and Will show that opposites surely attract as while Stef is very open about his sexual experiences JP/Grand is more reserved/private. It makes sense as two people who are too much alike tend to annoy each other plus it’s oddly refreshing to see someone in the family who doesn’t enjoy talking about their sex life so much. 😂 Will’s interaction with Tony is sweet though while I enjoy hearing about his sex life at the same time I wish he could find a new boyfriend rather than intermittent casual sex as I just feel that it’s sad that his last meaningful relationship was....Zach. 😔 Not saying he needs to be in committed relationship necessarily but eh I think he deserves more than a few random minutes of fun here & there...maybe a few hours instead. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤣

I couldn’t say it any better as I agree on both points. Even if Luka isn’t boyfriend material he could be a good friend for JJ as he needs more friends. Stef is an interesting guy but I don’t know if I quite agree with his advice regarding Tony as I mean essentially he’s saying Tony is incapable of a meaningful friendship if sex isn’t involved which makes Tony sound...sad and the friendship sound shallow. I mean he pretty much says Tony sounds like a type of guy who doesn’t communicate outside of sex or he specifically says he sounds like a type of guy who communicates primarily through sex, which by that logic pretty much makes Tony sound like a guy you’d call for a casual hookup rather than a friend. In that situation I don’t think I’d have had sex with him especially as Will is worried it might be opening a can of worms though at the same time...might be worth it 😂. I’m shocked Mason dumped Tony over such a thing though I suppose I can see being upset your top boyfriend wouldn’t even try bottoming once especially if Mason is verse, which obviously I assume he is, as he might have been missing being a top once in a while. Will’s suggestion of telling his therapist is good advice as it should be something you can do if you trust & love the person even if it’s just one and done.

I think it’s likely from her wording that Sue was only prepared to do a drug test if Don kept insisting Robbie was on cocaine as she “seemed” to believe he was clean and I find it unlikely he’d want to pursue that route considering how suspicious/convenient the situation is. Drug tests using hair aren’t the most common method but it is the longest timeframe method as it can be performed months or potentially years later so it’s possible to test for it even if it’s been a while since they used cocaine...though I doubt Don would volunteer to have himself tested. 😂 I can’t wait for the next chapter.

Oh Don Don Don the easiest and simplest solution to the issue especially with a wife who works in a hospital is a drug test if you’re that sure Robbie is on drugs yet it was pretty suspicious from the start so we knew that wasn’t happening. I mean come on when the cigarettes were found, assuming the cocaine was in the pack then, I already suspected either he or Sue were the owners of the cigarettes so it was an easy jump to assume Don was the true owner of the cocaine regardless of it being a frame job. It’s not impossible that Daniel is the owner but he’d have to be a way better actor than I presume him to be to pull off that innocent act if that’s the case. I’m glad things didn’t get more violent than they did though Don is a hypocrite for essentially calling Robbie a slut considering who we’re talking about here as he’s not mister innocent. I’m not 100% sure exactly what that kiss on the cheek from Nathan was about as Nathan could just have felt affectionate as it doesn’t necessarily mean he wants more than friendship from Robbie...though an ex doing it does imply there’s likely more going on. Unless Nathan has changed their relationship was a bit toxic plus last we heard he had a boyfriend so this might lead to drama if Robbie isn’t careful. Daniel’s parting words are hilarious and I do think I recall that while the thoughts were fleeting Robbie hasn’t always been adverse to the idea of something happening between him & Daniel though with Nathan as a friend I’m sure if Daniel wanted to experiment he’d have done so a long time ago. 😂

I see a few comments praising Will and while he’s my favorite character I don’t see him deserving much praise. Yes, it’s great he got Stef to say he’ll come to the talent show but the talk with JJ was in my mind just him spewing insults or negativity for the most part with no intent for a positive result. Yes, JJ was upset about Carullo so in part it did impact his actions, yes JJ should or could have talked to Stef about the party instead of setting off the alarms, and yes JJ seemed abit dramatic yet what was constructive about that calls criticism? It just seemed to be Will telling JJ off and verbalizing how he doesn’t have his back in this case. JJ is rightfully upset that most of his family didn’t have his back and how many of them are writing him off as selfish while Brad....is lying through his teeth 😂. I mean at dinner maybe 4 people said Stef was in the wrong but far from everyone said he was to my knowledge as Will & Darius especially didn’t seem to verbalize that Stef did anything wrong though I suppose telling Stef everyone agreed he was in the wrong will help him see the errors of his was more so than telling him multiple people were siding with him. I also find it interesting that he quoted what Grand/JP said about Stef eventually coming to his senses yet his statement/the intent was somewhat contradicted by the fact Brad did bring up how what he did was wrong when the whole point is that Stef would supposedly come to his senses without anyone telling him what he did was wrong. I mean Brad telling him off like that will likely help him admit he was wrong yet I find it highly unlikely that if nobody said anything Stef would have come to that conclusion ever. Stef really grates on my nerves lately as while I know he loves Grand/JP and that they have an open relationship it just feels like he’s taking him for granted lately because if this was any other guy they’d probably already be heartbroken. I mean Stef agrees to come to the talent show but he’s then rushing right back to New York which shows how little he wants to be there as he’s only going to keep the family from being pissed at him while also having his ego stroked. In my mind in an open relationship you should at least spend 50% or preferably more of your time with the person you say you love rather than other people yet Stef seems to rarely be home let alone spending any time with Grand/JP. It’s plain that despite his age that he’s a guy with huge sex appeal who can easily get younger men into his bed so I don’t get why he’s suddenly trying to recapture his youth as it’s not like plenty of guys aren’t lining up to have sex with him and seeing him ignore his family in favor of his own physical desires just makes Stef look like a bad person regardless of his psychological issues/reasons. Going back to the idea of JJ talking to Stef instead of setting off the alarms I can say from personal experience it’s easy to say what someone should have done in hindsight vs in the moment especially if you’re an outsider who didn’t go through it plus I find the idea a little laughable as based on Stef’s attitude lately I’m doubtful that would have done any good not that we’ll ever know. Stef just gives off the vibe of being entitled and thinks he can do whatever he wants especially given his age & money which ironically pretty much how JJ was as well as still is a little though I think he’s matured some recently in terms of no longer feeling like he’s above everyone else. I mean at Stef’s age he’s entitled to do whatever he wants within reason though I feel like despite his age he needs somebody to set some boundaries as few people ever do so which just results in a mess & selfish attitude. I’m done venting about Stef now 😂 and the highlight of this chapter was Brad & Jake as that was a very touching piece especially when Jake was talking to Will as it shows Jake is a great guy.

This is going to be a tough two weeks as the Hartman’s negative...opinion of Stephen & Lewis seems fairly obvious to anyone so it won’t likely be a very comfortable atmosphere for Daniel. On one hand I’m concerned how they’ll treat him if they learn he’s gay, not that they’re being very warm or friendly toward him now, and on the other hand I sort of want them to find out so maybe they’ll decide they don’t want him. It seems obvious where Daniel belongs but life is complicated as are families so we’ll have to see what happens as I’d say anything is possible. I hope he doesn’t need serious therapy after the two weeks are up as he’s a gentle soul who’s still not exactly 100% after everything that’s happened so this situation is the last thing he needs to deal with.

I’m not surprised but I am disappointed in Will & Darius especially as Will is one of my favorite characters while I’ve never even liked JJ much. In this instance both brothers are focusing on how JJ was in the past which has no bearing on the present necessarily as people can change over time, which I believe JJ has to a degree, and they were talking about petty moments when this time JJ took the time to get proof of what he was saying rather than just making accusations not that they cared that there was proof. I got the impression Will was saying it was a lie or overly dramatizing the thing in part because as I commented in the previous chapter he doesn’t have an issue with it so he doesn’t get why JJ would be bothered by it cause to be frank not to say it’s a bad thing Will is a bit of a slut who’d enjoy a surprise orgy. I mean he can’t comprehend that JJ would be bothered by a unannounced orgy in his place of residence or that he’d be bothered by two guys having sex on his bed who’s first/only introduction he had with involved them telling him to get out of his own room. I find Grand to be a moron as while he claims to sympathize with JJ and feels Stef was in the wrong I still think he’s just covering for him as saying they need to leave off as Stef will come to his senses soon enough if the family doesn’t harp on him is laughable as he’s an overgrown child who does whatever he wants with no repercussions so it’s unlikely, especially based on his short conversation with JJ, that he’ll come to see what he did as wrong. I mean as JJ himself said in the email nobody considers that place his home and Stef surely sees it as his property to do as he pleases without caring about others. I mean Carullo was clearly into it but I doubt even he was told about what was going to happen....though if he was I’d be even more pissed off if I were JJ as it would make it clear Stef avoided telling him on purpose rather than just not thinking about it. I’m not saying that seeing Carullo with two other guys didn’t upset JJ as it clearly did but Will’s opinion that JJ was just being a jealous, bitchy diva is just Will not having his brothers back and siding with Stef who he likes better rather than anything based on actual fact which is sad because recently I thought he had started to care more for JJ with the two of them becoming closer. I get that JJ emailing the whole family may seem like much except that’s what they all tend to do as everything is often handled as a family affair so whining about JJ supposedly snitching for acting like the rest of them is hypocritical. The only thing somewhat childish about his action was it was in part motivated to see how many people would side with him as he didn’t expect many to and honestly I don’t blame him for wanting to see proof that most would side with Stef as honestly JJ needs to branch out which showing him that most of his family doesn’t have his back will likely encourage as currently they’re sort of in control of his life. His dad for once sounded like he was being sensible assuming he doesn’t just say the property is JJ’s without actually putting him as the sole owner as Stef could pull a similar stunt there plus I see this scenario only angering JJ more as Stef is being an ass about it. Sorry about my language but ugh this family especially Stef lately. It seems oddly like JJ has matured some recently while Stef has become more immature and vain as despite the fact that Will is currently siding with him Stef hasn’t exactly been treating him well lately either in part due to jealousy/envy which is likely contributing to Stef seemingly trying to recapture his youth. Ok, I’m curious who’s Zach’s source is because who told him about Dillon? I mean I wouldn’t say anything that happened really reflected that Dillon was more of a potential boyfriend than any of the other guys Will has hooked up with, except maybe him staying overnight, yet this is the one guy Zach gets truly jealous over? I mean Will did seem to see him as a potential boyfriend I think yet I don’t necessarily know that most people who would have possibly told Zach could have realized that detail as most people would have just seen him as the next in a long line of casual hookups. It would have to be someone close to Will who’d realize this guy had the potential for more than just casual sex and I wouldn’t like my close friends and/or family gossiping about me like that. Zach has a lot of nerve to be jealous when he’s ignored Will and randomly hooked up with a married man which resulted in him pretty much kicking Will out of his life as he didn’t need him anymore. I still find that whole thing fishy as how crazy are you, especially considering you’ve already just gotten laid so it’s not as if you’re majorly horny 😔, to have unprotected sex with an unknown, older guy who pops up out of the dark like some horror movie character as well as the scene just screaming sort of rape-ish vibes?! I don’t know if it was a lie and was a planned scenario rather than a random hookup, if the scenario wasn’t planned but his later claims of it being cool to Will was a lie because the guy might have blackmailed him in some way such as threatening to out him if they didn’t continue to have sex, or if Zach really is just a slutty nut who has no problems hooking up with a strange, married guy because I suppose the guy is the perfect fuck buddy as they can discreetly hookup rather easily given the guy’s job. As Will reflected back Zach just seems like a purely selfish guy who only thinks about his needs and wants so I can easily see him replacing Will with someone more convenient and it fits his character that he’d get jealous of Will possibly replacing him despite the fact they aren’t even dating rather if memory serves they’re just friends with benefits now as of course he doesn’t want to cut ties with Will completely in case he wants something from him down the road. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Will can do better than both Zach and Dillon who sadly are both just users.

The “leaders” have an another announcement to make hmmm. Sounds like Ryan is going to go fetch some water or so they’ll say though his mom may try to take his place. This story is very realistic as it has all the power hungry brainless people in charge and the actual capable people are just underlings as per usual. What’s sad is the peer pressure and everything that has many of these people convinced to follow someone with no actual logical reason why except this person named themselves the leader. I guess it’s a job they don’t want so they might as well let them do it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Originally I was glad for Daniel as I hoped these grandparents would be good people but in the previous chapter they sadly gave the impression they’re homophobic along with a couple of other words I won’t use. I don’t see the atmosphere being positive for Daniel especially if they learn he’s gay and I wish he’d let Stephen & Lewis fight for him as while they may not win it’s better than not trying at all. All I can hope for is that he doesn’t put on too much of a brave face in front of the social worker and that the grandparents show their true colors as at the moment the only positive outcome I can imagine is if the social worker decides it’s an unfit environment.

Inevitably as things are looking up Don has to come back into the picture though I had no assumptions that he had disappeared forever. No wonder Sue was so out of it and I’m sure counseling will be handled by Mr. Symmonds again from now on if Don has anything to do with it. If Robbie can get ahold of a phone he should call Jo as soon as possible as he needs backup though I’m worried that history will repeat itself meaning even if he could call her he won’t as in the past he had a bad habit of not seeking help when he needed it. Poor Robbie deserves a break. On a different note I could could have sworn Robbie already knew Tom wasn’t straight. Of course I’m not meaning it’s an obvious conclusion to what happened between them 😂 as he could have been experimenting yet I thought Tom told Robbie a while back that he had come to realize that he’s bisexual though my memory can be faulty. Nathan had an idea that would have let Robbie know but that never happened. 😂

Technically it might be illegal but if Stef didn’t inform JJ which it seems like he didn’t based on JJ overhearing talk about a “party” he didn’t know anything about and these guys were trespassing in his room, which they were, he could claim he thought these people were trespassing on their property. No it’s not the whole truth as he was able to infer what was going even if nobody actually told him the truth and while I’m not saying it’s the right thing to do yet I doubt they could prove he was lying especially if Stef admitted he didn’t fully inform JJ what was going on. I would also have to take into account if there’s any chance they actually have JJ’s name on the property as if there’s any evidence he’s a legal part owner then he’d have a lot more leeway I’m sure and knowing how they like to arrange their funds it’s not impossible that he’s named as a co-owner. If I ran into members of an orgy who told me to get out of my own room and essentially told me what to do in my home especially when I had no input on them even being there not only would I have likely done something similar but I’d probably be hoping Stef was taken in on questioning even if I had to go in myself just to see his nightly fun ruined. A family property is just that a family property not a Stef property so I can’t wait to see his attitude coming up as I hope JJ lets him have it if he tries to bite his head off. Stef only has himself to blame if he doesn’t like how JJ reacts as he’s been the biggest influence on him. 😂

Stef has been getting on my nerves lately and I think he needs to be taught a lesson along with Carullo so I approve of JJ’s methods. As far as the prospect for a relationship between Carullo & JJ I’d have to reread some previous chapters to wrap my mind around what’s going on as I thought Carullo was dating another guy JJ didn’t initially know about, that he’s still torn up over the guy he lost on 9/11, and I thought he felt somewhat serious about this other guy which is why he doesn’t want to date JJ not that it’s because he feels JJ is too immature to date though his comment in this chapter at least had JJ feeling that he was implying his immaturity is why he doesn’t want to date him. I guess it’s a compliment he only barebacks with JJ...NOT.🤦🏻‍♂️ I mean I personally had doubts he was ready for a serious relationship with anyone since he’s been hooking up with Will and even Robbie likely while he’s been dating this other guy not to mention his discovered threesome as well as still hooking up with JJ all of which imply he’s definitely not wanting a committed one guy only relationship anytime soon. In the end while he may not seem as childish as JJ can at times I don’t think he’s any more mature really and during times like these I don’t feel Stef is the most mentally mature person in the world either. I mean there’s nothing wrong with having a good time but both have their childish moments as well not to mention selfish moments. If I were JJ and Stef was not going to respect me then I’d do what I had to in order to get my own apartment as there’s no way I’d live where my privacy nor my feelings are going to be respected as even the family back home for the most part don’t seem to feel JJ has any rights when it comes to what goes on in the apartment as Grand definitely was siding with Stef not that it’s surprising. I mean Will didn’t really comment one way or another yet because he’d actually be into it I doubt he’d see why JJ would be bothered by an orgy though they have gotten closer so he might side with JJ especially if he hears about the guys in his room. In the end I think Carullo moving is great timing and inspiration for JJ to strike out in his own. I’m droning on but I managed to not mention the sad Dillon situation originally probably because I felt so sorry for Will as well as disappointed on his behalf. After everything with Zach I figured him finding a good guy so fast was unlikely despite how much he deserved someone better(my opinion) but still I didn’t expect Dillon to be the definition of a user. I mean oh they had fun and now it’s time to eat your food, use your stuff, and ignore you now that I’ve got all I want....well I do know some guys like that though they’re usually straight so that’s all they want. 🤣 Dillon’s attitude when Will comments about taking his x-box into the guest room makes it clear it’s not that he’s dense but just doesn’t care so sadly Will is just going to have to toss out the garbage sooner rather than later as he’s not going to change so it’s best to avoid another toxic relationship. A prime example of how the cover might be good looking but when you open it up the material is just trash. 😔

🤦🏻‍♂️ Adam and Dizzy are more than a bit annoying when I see things from Artie’s point of view. I sort of get what Dizzy is saying about Ezra “breaking” the rules as well as Artie kind of not having Adam’s back though that’s not the whole story. It kind of irritates me to see even Mason saying Artie should have said no and that he should have stuck by Adam’s rules as Adam was the one who reluctantly pushed the coffee meeting into being. I mean Artie despite obviously wanting to see Ezra told Adam he didn’t want to break his rules only for Adam to reluctantly say it was ok because it was only an hour. I mean yes it is something Artie wanted yet he didn’t break any rules or go against Adam’s wishes as Adam grudgingly seem to tell him it was ok. I get Adam’s nervousness but it’s good that he’s facing his fears so that Artie can get some much needed answers & closure. Dizzy sadly can’t see this objectively as it’s tinged by his own past and he just can’t comprehend how Artie feels. It’s going to be a bumpy road.

I’m glad to see Robbie is getting some much needed help and nearly passed out when I saw this story had an update. 😂 I hope Luke is ok and hopefully this counselor can help him deal with all of the trauma Robbie has been through as while it’s going to be a slow journey it seems like Robbie is on a better path especially with Sue being more....human. Of course I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop as sadly for Robbie things rarely go in an upward direction for very long before he is sent plunging downward once again. 😔

I’m surprised as I never thought I’d feel that Richard deserves forgiveness, primarily because of his physical abuse of Richie, yet this chapter has me seriously reconsidering my opinion. Like @droughtquake I do find myself wondering about a few details like the detective’s cash flow of all things. I mean upon reflection not only is the restaurant expensive but Richie’s attention to detail regarding the sedan gives the impression it isn’t exactly cheap either which to me makes it seem like @Ronyx is purposely pointing out the detail regarding the amount of cash Richard seemingly has. I don’t know what a police detective’s salary is yet I didn’t think it was very substantial, though it may be that Freddy’s mom has some money. I guess I harp on small details as I also find myself thinking back to the comment about how since Richard came into their lives Freddy & his family have supposedly moved repeatedly as if Richard works locally I don’t know why they’d be repeatedly moving as it’s not as if it was likely due to work. I hate to sound negative but Richie’s father has apparently never taken him to an expensive restaurant before so some negative part of me is reading it as Richard trying to impress him as well as possibly buy his affection. I know that sounds cynical yet Richie’s joking yet somewhat serious comment that compared the restaurant dining experience to McDonald’s implying fast food was the extent of his former restaurant dining experience with his father definitely gave the impression he never took Richie & his mom to anywhere like that which to me just seems weird if you assume he could always afford to do so. I suppose I’m being negative but I just don’t fully trust Richard yet nor will until he proves himself a bit more despite how much of a loving father he seemed to be in this chapter.

He’s weirded out by it so to speak because he’s nervous and honestly he’s being told it’s easy/no big deal which the majority of the time it isn’t easy despite what Sean claims. Randy has a close relationship with his mother he’s terrified of losing and while he suspects she knows which would imply she doesn’t care he had no real proof so of course he’s nervous that he’s misread the clues. In this story most if not all of his friends are apparently gay yet in reality most wouldn’t be so seeing this from a realistic standpoint Randy would typically be terrified of losing his friends though in this case he’s primarily terrified of how is mother will react along with his classmates. The school is probably full of its share of homophobic people and it’s not easily to deal with it though on some level he wants to come out. Coming out isn’t easy and everyone has their struggles with it. I’m not even 100% out of myself but mine is more centered around location location location. 😂 We’ll have to wait and see when Randy finally feels ready though I suspect the Sean situation will give him a bit of an incentive.
