The episode starts out with Justin getting a nipple pierced for what we believe to be a way to impress Brian. Brian acts like he's not impressed because everybody has something pierced these days. Justin's mother tells Justin's father Craig that thier son is gay and that he is having sex with men. Craig freaks out and forbids Justin to see Brian but Justin says he'll see him if he wants to. Chris, the boy at school that had an intimate encounter with Justin humiliates him in the locker room about being gay until Justin speaks up. This causes a fight. Justin punches Chris and gets hit back. When other boys pull the two apart Justin spits blood on Chris. Craig threatens to send Justin away to school. Justin tells his father that no matter what he does, he will still be Craig's gay son. Emmett warns Mike to watch out for signs that his boyfriend might have plans to someday get married. David does two of these things. I loved the scene in Mike's old room when David asks him to go away for the weekend and Debbie yells from downstairs "say yes you little a**hole or i'll disown you." i thought that was hilarious! I love Debbie. Anyway, they go on the trip until they find out that Brian was in a car accident with who he thinks was a guy that he slept with that confronted him outside of Babylon. When Justin tells Brian and all his friends that it was his father, Brian blows it off like he doesn't care. Mike tells David that he has to go back to the city, but when they show up they see Brian dancing around like there's a big party going on. David decides to fight for Mike and tells Brian at Babylon how Mike has felt for him for years and how he's been waiting for the one thing he can't have. Then he basically tells Brian to back off. This was a great episode. I'm a little nervous because i know what's coming up in the future as far as something bad happening to Justin, and i wish that it wouldn't.
Great episode, new character was introduced. hide show
I liked this episode a lot and how they added that little twist! (Not going to say). I love the relationship that Justin and his Father have (acting wise) and Justin did a really fine job at acting pissed. Hopefully, his parent's will approve of Justin's life and wont send him away. As to the Micheal and David part, absolutely loved it and it gave me this tingly feeling inside when it was done.
I hate Justin's father hide show
Justin's father is some piece of work, to attack Brian the way he did. I mean he destroyed his own car in the process but he managed to Brian into a pretty decent car accident, once again showing how Michael will drop everything in his life and relationships to come running to Brian's aid. It's such a shame seeing how whipped Michael can be when it comes to him, though I do appreciate his loyalty.
Justin steals the show in this episode. hide show
I love Justin's storyline in this episode that's between him and his dad. First off, Michael finally introduces David to Debbie. Debbie and Vic both approved very much of him. Then there is my favorite part where Jennifer tells Craig that she knows Justin's gay. Craig is in total denial of it, but then she further convinces him by explaining that he's with someone. Not just a boy, but a man. Then it cuts to the scene where Craig goes up to Justin's room, but meanwhile, Justin's over at Brian's having sex. Craig finds a picture of Brian and Justin and goes out on a hunt for Brian. Later we see an anonymous car crash into the back of Brian's jeep. We don't know who it is until it cuts to Justin's garage the next morning showing Craig's wrecked car. Michael finds out about Brian's car crash, and ends a trip to the country with David, short. I really enjoyed this episode. I thought it was well-written and overall really good.
