Hey Cathy! Yes, it was the Senator he called, who also used his considerable clout to execute the raid on the Sap's house and Babylon. Like Brian, Justin has always struck me as a quiet storm. You never know just what he knows until it can have the most impact. He also has the ability to see life as a both a chess game, and oddly the game of basketball, allowing him to keep himself several moves ahead, or pivot when necessary to protect all he holds dear. And most of all that's Brian. So Melanie was absolutely correct when she told Brian that he hadn't fully learned who his partner is. I LOVE writing Justin's character this way, which is how I've always seen him; the other side of the same coin as the incomparable Brian Kinney.
