    Refusing to take no for an answer Justin decides if he can't have what he wants, he's not going down unnoticed. Emmett finds out his guy is a male prostitute. Ted gets lucky with Blake, a guy from the gym they frequent but may be in big trouble. hide show

    I really hope Ted is ok. The guy finally gets lucky with Blake, a guy from the gym, but gets himself into trouble when Blake gives him drugs. Ted has a bad reaction and passes out having a seizure. Blake freaks out and takes his drugs and leave. That was so messed up! I hope he gets some help. Emmett is sporting around with a good looking Japanese kid when Mel tells Mike that the kid is a prostitute and wants his money. Mike fails to relay this message to Emmett and lets him figure it out on his own. So, Mike's uncle Vick gives Justin his membership card to Babylon, and surprisingly enough the bouncer lets him in, with a crack about him looking good for his age. Seriously, how does a seventeen year old kid get into a place like Babylon with no questions asked? Yeah right. Anyway, after Justin and his friend Daphne watch Brian targeting in on two guys that he wants and everyone knows he can have, Justin decides to let his wild side out and not go down without a fight. He takes his shirt off and struts onto the dancefloor with moves that were definately noticed at Babylon. When Justin steals the attention of Brian's potential conquests, Brian seems a little impressed and decides to take Justin and dance with him all to himself. Whether he was doing it because he was impressed or just to show Justin an E for Effort we don't know, but i really don't see Brian as the jealous type. However, we know that Justin gets to Brian. Mike watches all of this after doing some blow with Brian in the bathroom and the two share a playful kiss, which happens when drugs are involved. However, when Mike takes things further Brian asks what he is doing to which Mike replies it must have been the drugs. I think Brian has it figured out that Mike really likes him, but the way he reacts with Michael it seems that Brian doesn't want anything to happen between them now as opposed to years before. However, could it be because Brian genuinely cares about Mike and that Mike wouldn't be just another notch on his bedpost?

    Y Justin se da cuenta como es que tiene que actuar para tener a Brian a su lado. hide show

    Justin es un niño encaprichado por su primera vez, y se da cuenta que una persona tan pasiva no es capaz de retener a Brian. michael es un personaje complejo que ve a Justin como su rival, y pues seria bueno que se dedicara mas tiempo a contarnos sobre su familia, su tio especialmente. El par de lesbianas se vuelven monotonas, especialmente la que no es la mama del niño y que por cierto odia a Brian, pienso yo que si tanto es el problema porque permitió que Brian fuera el padre biológico del niño? y si no lo quieren, deberian sacarlo del todo de la vida del niño, no tenerlo en cuenta cuando necesitan dinero.

    The Brian and Justin show must go on! Let's hear it for Sunshine! hide show

    The last scene, when Justin snags Brian at Babylon, is one of my favorite scenes of the season. Justin's persistence truly amazes me--you can really see how much he wants Brian, and it's freaking adorable and exciting to watch. Justin's scheme was fantastic. He proved to Brian his own desirability (and that he was a match for Brian) by stealing away Brian's two tricks. The perfect way for Brian to take notice of him! And already Brian is breaking his one-screw only rule for Justin. I can see a beautiful relationship in the making.

    I also loved the Emmett/Katsuo scenes. Poor Emmett. Hilarious nonetheless!

    Great episode. hide show

    This is a perfect follow up to the first two episodes of "Queer as Folk." The characters you get to know and love and others you feel sorry for and feel like you have known them forever. This episode is basically what will start off the story (I mean...I think so at least.)

    Let's here it for the boy! hide show

    Let's here it for Sunshine! Go Justin. Even early on he knew just how to capture Brian's attention and work him. I mean after all the torment Brian puts him through in the first two episodes Sunshine's little Babylon show is especially impressive. He knew just what to do to get Brian to snap right back to him. Impressive. The song went perfectly with the scene, too.
