Aargh! I just lost my review!!!! My LONG review! How could it just say I need to sign in to access that function, when I haven't signed out?! Damn computer! So, now I have to try and remember all the important stuff I had written, and I'm sure it won't be as good...

Vance, Vance, Vance... he sure got himself in a mess. If he wouldn't have paid Sapperstein for the tape of Justin, he might not be in as much trouble as he is... He sounds like he hates homosexuals (Homosexual agenda?)... yet, everybody he involved himself with in this case is - HOMOSEXUAL! (I'm shaking my head and LMAO!). And just what was his agenda with hiring Troy Perkins? So, Ryder used Kip to bring charges of sexual harassment against Brian and have grounds to fire him. Brian had already PAID Troy for sex, so I really doubt he would have slept with Troy again, so what was the agenda? It also sounds like he illegally stole the company from Eric's father. So, yeah, he's probably smart to give his wife the no contest divorce, and besides, he's not going to need anything where he's going.

Eric... I almost feel sorry for the guy. It sounds like he was suffering from the dreaded 'losing your virginity'... thinking you're in love with the person who made you feel so amazing, and you just want to be with that person again. Then the fact that Justin was cruel, and threw him away, he might have gotten his thinking twisted, thinking if Justin would just give him a chance again... well, it's not an excuse... just a theory, but whatever.  But it does sound like he has a great friend in Franklin, though. And who knows? Maybe turning evidence against Troy and Vance... is it possible the guy could get a fine and community service? (And be made to give a VERY public apology.) Sure, the guy sat in on the meetings with Vance and Troy, and helped make plans to try and bring Brian and Justin to heel, but other than draw those cursed boards, what did Eric really do? Vance's attorney said Novotny and Peterson are going to try to save themselves by placing blame... but seriously, I think anything they say will be taken with a grain of salt. Whereas Eric was hired by Justin (not Vance who planned to use him as a pawn) and sat in on all the meetings with Vance and Troy. He listened to their plans. He knows the 'whys' and the 'reasons'... if anyone can throw Vance and Troy 'under the bus', I think it would be Eric.

Claire should have paid more attention to that old saying: "What goes around, comes around." Karmic energy is returned with the same intensity with which it was generated. All the times she had a hand in Jack beating Brian... well, it's her turn. Too bad, so sad. But the fact that her face now resembles a slab of butchered pork... Well, maybe it will help remind her what Brian looked like the numerous times after he was beaten.

Aaron Hasselback must have drawn the short straw... first Lindsay, then Claire, now... who? I don't think it would be Lance, although I don't remember him getting counsel after Harry, but with Troy Perkins just arriving, that would be my guess. And yeah, he could definitely be just as annoying as Lindsay Peterson. The man deserves a medal.

Well, I'm ready for an update seeing as I'm all caught up.
