I am in shock. I just can't believe that Wade went off like that... I have to say it was nice to see him lose it a little bit....

Well, if you believe that Elizabeth is going to give up that easy, you don't know her or Mark... I can see fireworks in the future...

Wade is the kind of person that he will be able to handle the wealth without much issue. I have a feeling that the fight with Elizabeth just started. I have to wonder about this Sean guy, it is awful convenient that Wade decided to start seeing other people and this guy gets introduced.

I would think JP commenting on anything would get everyone's attention. I have to admit that I hope that Wade and Matt can get past everything and end up together. They probably aren't ready for getting one on one for the rest of their lives but I do think they should end up together.

It was sort of interesting to see the same day from two points of view. We saw part of his day from Wade's point of view last chapter and now from Will's in this one. I thought Will handled the situation with everything just perfectly. I have to admit, I am starting to like Will more and more.

This was a great chapter, Wade is declaring his side and indicating that this is what he is going to do and how he is going to deal with Matt from this point on. I can't see Wade ever sleeping with that many guys but even one will kill Matt...

WOW, I just never thought that Matt would have crossed that line. I don't even know how to react to this revelation but I do think that JP is probably right and this will effect Matt more in the long run than Wade.

I have a real issue with Matt here; Wade has let him do damn near anything he wants and the one time that Wade ask him to pull back he can't or won't? This is going to cause a major issue and I am going to hate it. Wade needs Matt but Matt needs Wade more...

Well, Will and Jeanine handled the situation with Brad and Robbie just perfectly. I am suprised and grateful that JJ even put aside his feelings and recognized that Jeanine needed to get help immediately. I can't wait to see how Will handles the situation with Grafton. I am not sure this is going to be a good thing for anyone but we will see. Hate that Will lost the guy from the mission. Will needs someone to ground him a little more....

Well, post partum depression is a really serious issue and I just about bet that Jeanine has the most serious form. I can see this being a real issue not just with Jeanine and Tiffany but the whole family. I am so dissapointed in Matt....

Well, I am not sure what will prove to be a better read, the trust documents that Elizabeth just slipped in to have them sign or the dossier on Tiffany's family???

Well, I can't say that I am suprised by any of the parentage; this will just open up so many avenues of conflict. I can't wait to see how Elizabeth breezes in to the situation. That will be very interesting...

Caroline shows her breeding in both going to the funeral of one of Granger's former officers since he can't; but in her dealing with and conversation on the way back to London with Calvert and Gatling. Caroline moved to remove Calvert from the area to protect George, much like a lioness protecting her young. The conversation between Caroline, Calvert, and even Gatling to some extent was truly illuminating. It would take a truly extrodinary woman to have that conversation. The fact that Calvert understood the need to explain himself to her says a great deal as well. Eastwyck seems so much younger than Granger was at his age. I think some of that is the difference in their position in society but some is internal as well. I have to wonder what happened to cause Eastwyck to have the reaction he did??? I hope that Granger and Eastwyck are both back in London soon and moving forward with their lives in whatever manner they can.

Glad about Gathan stepping down as trustee, unsure about Zach still, concerned about Will, sad about Kai but expected it, happy to see Brad dealing with his feelings, and not sure how to feel about Tony but will think on it....

I cannot tell you how much that I enjoyed this whole chapter. It took only a few minutes to realize what was going on and I just loved how Will handled everything before, during, and after supper. Will understands those in his life and this will always give him an advantage. I think it would be nice for Will to have a couple of guys around him that really had no desire to sleep with him. I am not sure that is where the situation with Austin is heading but we can see. You can tell that JP really wants Will to be happy and that he really respects him. It is evident by how JP talks to and handles Will when they are talking. I would have thought that Gathan would have had better sense than to push this with Will or even the rest of the family. I can sort of understand Brad but I am sure that Will knows about Brad giving Sergio/Kevin a car so why is it really different when he decides to give Zach one? I have a feeling that neither Brad or Gathan are going to win this argument with Will. I do have to wonder what kind of car Will got Zach? I cannot see Will going crazy and getting him something too expensive, plus I sort of see Zach in a pick-up, not a car... Thanks so much Mark for all the wonder you bring into our lives with both the CAP and Bridgemont series...

Well, it looks like Calvert and Gatling will be on their way to the West Indies; I have a feeling that this might not be a bad thing for anyone involved. This isn't so far that they can't be back in England if they need to be recalled but far enough a way to let Caroline calm down and Granger to help smooth the waters. I thought Granger played the scene in the salon quite well. He was able to get a hold of himself and show the side of himself that all except the closest to him see. I have a feeling that he did not do much damage to his cause. I have to hope that Granger will be back in England soon. The scene with Eastwyck at the end made this chapter of Granger having to hold himself in a happy ending so to speak. I have to wonder at Granger's restraint in holding his attraction for Eastwyck in check for a long as he has. I just can't say enough about your ability to pull figures in from the past into your stories and make them relevant and so tangible to the further development of this wonderful saga. Mark, you are truly an artist...

A really well done chapter, I really like the scene with JJ and John and much like Tim; I have to wonder what John read into it. I think it was really nice to see a vulnerable side to JJ. He is turing out to be a very engaging individual. I would like to see more from his point of view. I still don't really trust Zach. I do realize that much of what he did can be explained away in some way but he has always seemed a little predatory to me. I have to believe that Will sees something in him that the rest of us have missed. I have never been a huge Gathan fan but Zach really stuck it to him a few times and I could see why he would have a hard time trusting Zach or moving past the past. I have to wonder if the past is going to come back to bite both of them in unexpected ways. Will really understands what Brad needs and seems to be doing everything he can to help him cope with Robbie's death. I just hope he doesn't take to much on himself. I have to admit he reminds me more and more of JP in several ways. I hope that he keeps getting to interact with JP in more and varied situations. A lot of people made a lot of money after 9/11. It was neither good or bad just a fact of life. There are always winners and losers in business.

What is the saying about a coming between a wolf cub and it's mother??? I have a feeling that Calvert and Gatling may have just experienced something similar with Caroline. I don't really think that Caroline will do anything to really harm Calvert and Gatling but she will do whatever it takes to protect and support George. I would almost be more worried about Winkler. So glad that Lt Eastwyck caught up with Granger even under these circumstances. I do hope that George gets home soon and can deflect part of Caroline's wrath. At least Spencer already gave the ship to Calvert so I doubt that she can have that taken away... Great chapter and thanks so much for the update....

Really a great chapter, I though the part with Ethan showed how well Matt and Wade compliment each other. They really do make a formindable team. I have to wonder how involved Wade will end up being in Ethan's life or maybe the better question is how much will Ethan will let them into his life? I was sort of suprised by how calmly Will and Stef took Brad sleeping with Marcel. I actually could see the positive to it but expected more of a reaction from Will and Stef both. Brad ended up handling the situation with Will and Zach better than I anticipated. I did find it strange that Brad did not just fund the trust and not mention the money being short from Robbie's estate. Maybe he wanted full disclosure but it came out a little off kilter to me. Great chapter and really needed it after this weekend; keep up the good work.

I thought the section with JJ was really well done and added a lot to the story. I can see JJ and John being better friends, John is physically and emotionally closer to JJ right now than he is Will. I think Will and John will always be better friends but JJ and John are more in the same place at the moment. I really did not care for the section with Will. I have serious issues with Zach that go back several stories and don't care about his how or why. The whole scene with Will and Zach just seemed really out of place and disjointed. With everything that happened, I just can't see it happening... This part was a real miss for me...

Crying like I haven't in a while... Remembering the good times while forgetting all the rest... Knowing that you would want me to move on.... Remembering the love we shared knowing it is still there... Thank you Mark for all you have given us with this story...

Well, sort of liked the idea of Bush being a zombie; afterall he was sort of one in a lot of ways.

Well the shit just hit the fan....

A mix of seasoned and green army can make for an interesting side of stew. I have to wonder who will handle the situation better...

I just never understand the idea of keeping everything secret. I know you don't want to cause a panic but by the time the truth comes out it is usually too late...
