Mickey is the story of an extraordinary person who overcomes tragedy and abuse to become a successful and fulfilled man. It's also the story of a wealthy and privileged young man rejected by his family. The story of how these two become a couple and build their own family is heartwarming, but never sappy. I can't imagine anyone not enjoying their journey.

Mickey is not just amazingly accomplished and successful, but is a genuinely amazing person. He has enriched the lives of everyone who calls him a friend or family.

I had often wondered about the world outside, now I know the sad news. Our survivors are lucky that there is plenty to scavenge, as long as they are careful. I wonder how long the zombies can last without eating.

I hope the birth is safe for both baby and surrogate. The team seems to have a handle on the take-down. The step brothers are not smart enough to get out of this.

Woohoo!!! We got to see them kiss and move to boyfriend mode. And it looks like Gray is finally going to listen to our advice and get tested.

They need to hire some very good and very quick forensic accountants to discover the totality of the step brothers' malfeasance. Oh, and fire them! Then get them arrested and imprisoned.

The English prefer to "keep calm and carry on". I'm afraid if they were American, they would have played this out on a terrible reality TV show!

I think Jackie truly does love Damian, unfortunately not as much as she loves herself. She looked at Ludo as a way to get the life she thought she should have, but at some point, realized she didn't really want it. This is not a new concept! Tons of people have experienced this. Most either put up with it and live a silently miserable life, or they divorce and escape. Jackie's solution to boredom was monumentally stupid and hurtful. Andreas is possibly even more stupid! Planning all this to get money he didn't need for a life his wife didn't want!

I'm so glad to see a chapter from one of my absolutely favorite writers! I've known a couple of genius level people that lacked basic common sense and practical knowledge. I spent several hours teaching one of them how to do laundry! I'm impressed with how well our group is working together to solve problems and succeed. I look forward to seeing how the professor fits in with our Kentuckyfied version of Gilligan's Island.

If Mickey agrees to help, which we all think he will, he and Drew need to have the final say on their personnel. This is going to take a lot of time, @akascrubber had a good suggestion that Mickey's firm act as legal council. Then it wouldn't take away from his work life. Not sure how Drew will be able to fit in both running a huge troubled company and a growing family.

It appears the bullies were just waiting for things to die down to make their move. Hopefully Mike will step up, even if it's only due to guilt. Gray needs to go to HR and report this. He shouldn't feel unsafe at work. I'm glad the chat with Olly went so well.

Hilarious! The CJverse according to Northman. I didn't miss this line that alludes to our speculation that Stephen was a closet-case: This guy and his cute Aussie partner were just too good to be true

Great chapter! I'm glad to see that George is keeping Caroline at arm's length and withholding information, yet doing so whilst not antagonizing her. He was not worried about antagonizing Cornwallis, which says much to his actual value. The real diplomacy starts at Madame de Stael's, as well as George stalking his next willing conquest.

Whatever anxiety Stingray Head caused Jordan, he is willing to put it aside for Cameron. That shows his commitment more than anything. What caused his anxiety? I'm guessing he's just afraid of the ocean, maybe he almost drowned?

NERD!!!
