Why am I not surprised that Mikey turned into a rat. Brian loving Justin only to find that Justin loves Ethan. How do you fix that?

I promise that it will be fixed by the end of this story!

Hi there! Wow, you've been around a lot and seen a lot. I never dared venture that far into the world! ;-) I believe that the best way to break down prejudices is to get to know different people also from other cultures or countries! At least, through my work as a study assistant in the hospital, I have the opportunity to get to know a lot of different people, not just patients, we always have guest doctors or doctoral students from other countries with us.
Another heartbreaking chapter with painful revelations. I didn't expect anything else from Craig, but Michael? You know by now that I don't like Michael very much, but that he would act that way... On the other hand, I can well imagine him to behave in such an opportunistic way. Sometimes there is more cruelty in the ideas or images that certain words or phrases evoke in us. That phrase "That would have been too quick and easy" let me shudder. What had they done to Brian...
I wish Brian hadn't asked Em if Justin loves Ethan. Perhaps it would have been enough if he'd asked if Justin is happy. But maybe it wouldn't have made this big of a difference. My heart is sooo breaking for Brian. Hopefully he doesn't start wishing that he had died. There's still Gus... and some day there also will be Justin again. Please Brian, don't start losing hope!
I'm so looking forward to Sunday! Stay healthy!

Too bad that my reply to your previous comment was gone :( I guess these things just happen!
Yeah, I have always been very interested in travelling the world and going to other countries. Living in other countries has always been a dream of mine. As part of my English studies, I had to study abroad in an English-speaking country, so going to the US was a dream come true at the time.
When I left Germany in 2013 to move to Ireland, I'll never forget my grandma's rection: I told her I was going to move away to Ireland, but would still come to visit, etc. She started crying, but happy tears which totally surprised me. She then hugged me and said: I always knew you would leave Germany. You're not made for a life in Germany. You need to experience the world. Apparently, she knew me better than I knew myself and always knew that I would move away at one point.
My mom was more conflicted about me moving away at the time ;)
To be fair, that's the advantage to being single. I was able to just pick up my life and leave. If you have a family, kids, it becomes so much harder. So yeah, I am glad I took the opportunity when I was able to.
Your work and the contacts you have through it sound really interesting as well - meeting people from other countries, backgrounds, etc. has always been one of the greatest pleasures of my life :)
Back to the story: I know this might have been a bit surprising where Michael is concerned, but my dislike for his character just won here ;) He's always been a little weasel to me and I just enjoyed making him the bad one here. And he showed signs of "conservatism" and being in support of cleaning up Liberty Avenue, etc on the show as well to some degree, so it was just an easy choice to turn him into a bad guy here.
I promise that we will find out what happened to Brian in Gilead - the whole story! All will be revealed...
I feel your pain - my heart is breaking for poor Brian as well. After everything he has been through, he didn't deserve this new blow :(
You're right, there's still Gus and Gus will become a very important part in Brian's life and the story moving forward. Hopefully, Brian can focus on Gus and he and Justin can start building a relationship from there... Or not? *evil grin*
As always, thanks very much for your comment. It's much appreciated :) More will be up tomorrow! Stay safe!
