Storyline

Brian forbids Mikey to tell Justin how much he misses them and plans a surprise visit, then hears work for the Rage movie will take three, four months longer, so he drops the plan and tells Mikey he doesn't expect his lover back at all. Justin is actually knee-deep in naked hunks at a Hollywood pool party. When Debbie and Carl return home, they are treated to Emmett's nude live action show with Shawn, legs-up. The one-day-married men find Hunter at their neighbors' rave, rather then studying, Ben considers moving to a quieter quarter. Ted shows Brian amazingly good financial results for Kinnetics' first year and suggests an extravagant self-treat. Brett Keller has casted Rage- to Justin's surprise, his officially 'straight' mate Connor James, who actually jumps straight back into Justin's horny hole. At the surprise party for ten years Mel and Lin, Emmett tells Debbie it's time to move out, even if she wants him to stay, then the lesbians confess they are separated since their ...

Episode #5.1
16 May 2012 | by (Canada) – See all my reviews

Not a very interesting episode. The whole thing about Rage and Justin being in LA didn't interest me even a little bit. So I am kind of happy that this is finally over.

Emmett, Ted and Debbie provided some fun moments but their stories were also not exciting.

I did suspect that Brian will end up owning Babylon after he got the bath house. We'll see what happens with it.

The one good story is Lindsay and Mel. Great acting, I feel very bad for Mel. Especially since Michael is now complaining about his daughter. Funny, so he also knows what an "ideal family" is.

Was sad to see Ben and Michael looking for a new place. It is sad when people decide that they are all grown up and it is time to become boring. I loved Brian speech on it at the end
