Storyline

[] After the Babylon bombing, everyone is somewhat shell-shocked. Ben switches his college class debate from an author to how to handle violence and gay-bashers; the students diverge, their sneer nothing can touch him is countered with Mikey's critical condition. Drew accepts to be guest speaker at the vigil for the victims, Emm is too gloomy to leave home. Michael wakes up to Ben and Deb's blissful relieve, and gets an unhoped visitor: Hunter is back, he hitched to Disneyland defining good behavior as 'not blowing any driver', Deb guesses he really wants to be taken back. Brian visits Justin's grimly humble solo home and surprisingly offers marriage, refused as he probably acts out of mere shock. Despite a quote for rebuilding within insurance payments, Brian tells Ted he won't reopen Babylon, next commissions Justin's mother to sell his loft, without telling the boy. While Ted tells his lay in the humping room he feels guilty, Drew speeches well, but when a bigot is mad enough to ... Written by KGF Vissers

Quotes

Brian: You won't marry me. Who could blame you? I am, without a doubt, the worst candidate for marriage alive. But, conversely, that's also the reason that I'm the best candidate.
Justin: And how's that?
Brian: Because as strongly as I was opposed to the idea, now that I'm behind it, I am as fervently and passionately committed.
Justin: Uh-huh. And what changed your mind?

Justin: And what is that one good reason?

Episode #5.11
21 May 2012 | by (Canada) – See all my reviews

The first scene made me worried for a second because I thought it was indeed Michael's funeral. A very good idea to do it. In reality it was the funeral of Brian as we know him. In a way I am upset. The scene when Brian brings Justin to the new home and Justin agrees to get married was beautiful. At the same time, did Brian really have to change that much? Sure, the tragedy in Babylon opened his eyes that he loves Justin and wants to be with him, but he could have done it without completely changing who he is. He could be in a loving marriage and still be the Brian who loves to have fun and have his club. I am upset because this isn't Brian anymore, how can it be Brian living a suburban life in a country house? There are married people in the city too, raising a family and being happy

It was great to see how everyone was dealing with their emotions after the explosion. Ted blaming himself for Michael's injuries, Emmett being scared of getting out. And them both going over it by having a conversation. It does seem a bit rushed how they dealt with it. I assume there just wasn't enough time left for giving it more depth.

The scene where they are at the vigil and the protesters come is great as well. The sad thing is that it seems so unbelievable that people can be so heartless and disgusting and yet it isn't made up, it really does happen. The moment when Debbie is talking about Michael and someone yells "Your son should have died" makes one gasp. And it is great to see Ben, who is so much into peace and reason losing it and beating him up. And the conversation he has with Brian in the car is wonderfully written.

And it was also great to see Hunter show up again. It brings us closer to a happy ending for their family
