That rushed hug Bryan gave Steve, may seem insignificant to some, but the reality is that that small step could be the beginning of a better relationship between them. It may never be a deep relationship but it would be better than it is now. I like that Steve has planted the seed for ideas to grow for Bryan, that way Bryan can feel that he has something positive without feeling pushed into doing it.
The more I hear about the sperm donor and the brood bitch, sorry that's how I see them, the more I despise them for what they have done to Bryan and Caleb. The brood bitch is gone, hopefully, the sperm donor will follow shortly, but not before the boys get the answers they deserve.
