Clearly Luna was trying to hurt Peter the only way she thought she could: by revoking their friendship. Too bad, in doing so, she showed her true colors. Raise your hand if you think she’ll be spiteful and do something to ruin Tyler’s reputation. Peter has a good head on his shoulders. Honestly, he’s better off.

Why do I get the feeling this was part of Tyler’s deal with Luna or a consequence of violating the agreement by being the bottom — cutting off all contact? “You can do this but…” I’d be worried. Message not delivered means Peter’s number has been blocked. Hopefully Luna has some answers since she put Tyler and Peter up to it in the first place. I wonder if she’ll feel any guilt if this ruined the boys’ friendship.

Sweet and a little sad. For all that this trip has brought them closer again, their future is still uncertain. It seems like Brick realized how much he still loves his husband but, until he’s willing to commit fully, there will always be another Vincent. I guess that’s the point. Pompeii has that effect on people. The two men, dying in a random catastrophe and now famously embracing. Devoted. I hope they do make a tour of it and in the end, like the Pompeiian couple, they never let go.

I think Kai kept it a secret. Something that’s his and his alone, somewhere he can escape from his unrequited love. It’s kinda sad, right? Three years of doing this and being tagged on Instagram and not one question from the guys who’re supposed to be his best friends. Apparently they’re more self-involved than I thought.

I feel like we’ve now met all of the trauma responses given physical form or maybe we’re still missing one. Voss doesn’t strike me as a ventilation shaft voyeur, which leaves me wondering when that missing crew member will crawl out of their hole. Voss and Doc should set up a joint practice. They’ll have a very Odd Couple dynamic as she listens to the crew’s problems and he sarcastically snipes from across the room.

It’s fascinating watching River discover the layers beneath the surface he assumed was Kai’s sum total. That they have interests in common but his proximity to Fly has kept River from noticing them. And it bugs him. That’s the trouble with assumptions: they’re seldom correct. I hope learning there’s more to Kai than meets the eye will help soften River’s attitude. Maybe he also realize the hand his twin had in all the trouble he holds Kai solely responsible for. Cut him some slack even. On the plus side, he already acceded once at the restaurant instead of going for a parting shot. That’s progress!

You’re going to be ghosts, eh, Liam? Space … ghosts?

I mean, they’re friends with benefits but methinks Ash doth protest too much. If Noah was out of the public eye, I wager there would be more sleepovers. And I have to agree with his assessment of the Thirst Trap Trio: I don’t think any of them are entirely straight. Maybe once Jace starts an OF. As hooked as he is on the views and the attention, it’s the logical next step. I mean, I’d subscribe …

Is it possible Flip has been messing with Mikkel while the cook is high on mushrooms? The orca said basically the same thing about Hollis that God did and, well … there’s no reason the killer whale couldn’t also be a clownfish. The idea makes me giggle.

If those shiny rocks aren’t eggs, I’ll be a little disappointed. Maybe Mr. Nibbles is really Mama Nibbles and now Guy’s a step-daddy.

Yes on the new story idea but don’t forget about these boys. We’re still getting to know them.

River needs to get over it. Jesus, let the man live. When it comes time for the hate sex, I hope Kai bends him in half and just rails the hell out of him. Meanwhile, when Kai suggested he was supposed to be alone, that he had too many demons, my heart ached for him. Here’s this sweet but reckless guy, always left behind, and all he wants is for someone to stay with him. For him. And the only guy sticking around has a stick up his ass and a chip on his shoulder the size of Mercury. Ugh.

I’m still not convinced there’s a human inside the Parkbot armor. Beans are just more fuel for the reactor, musical fruit that they are. Tweek, once again, saved the day, Guy survived, and Hollis’s purity’ is intact. This calls for a celebration! Hugs all around! Hug the Ensign, Captain. He’s earned it.
