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.

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?
Brian: I finally thought of one good reason to do it.
Justin: And what is that one good reason?
Brian: To prove to the person that I love how much I love him. That I would give...

Risking it all for Love...

Episode 511 "My partner… my husband was critically injured last night in the bombing. Nearly died. If I lived in a bubble, it just burst." ~Ben

This episode was just incredible. In the final moments, I was reminded of the very first episode, the very first time that we see Brian lay eyes on Justin and the journey that this series has brought us on. In many ways, this episode would have been an extremely satisfying series finale. It ended with loads of hope, lots of love, and it was filled with several spectacular scenes. Hunter's return, Ted bringing Michael flowers after finally accepting that Michael's injuries weren't his fault, Melanie and Lindsay deciding to move elsewhere, Drew Boyd and Emmett in what seems to be complete happiness, and finally one of my favorite scenes in the series with Brian and Justin engaged and in the mansion all make this episode simply perfect. It's so refreshing, after five long years, to hear Brian tell Justin that he loves him. Amazing episode.
