It's tough trying to deal with everything. I can't wait until they try to deal with Mel.

Another amazing chapter all the way around. And like the others, I have to wonder just how much Mel is hiding. I understand about her father not doing well, but... well, just the sudden urgency to move as far away from Canada as her money could buy is definitely sending up all kinds of red flags. Perhaps there is something to Gus' statement about Mel's trouble with clients in the past. Maybe she messed around and pissed off the wrong one?
Anyway, I do like the way Gus both set Brian at ease, and then set Jenny straight. In terms of Jenny: I think the scene really established that Gus wasn't going to allow her to make him choose between the sister he's had all her life, and the DNA-linked brother he's just beginning to know. I believe that kind of hard limit is going to come in handy very shortly, especially when Mel makes her presence known.
I have a feeling that Ian isn't going to be as calm in dealing with Melanie as he had been in the past. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he goes all verbal caveman on her. I can't wait to find out if I'm right!
HAPPY WRITING and HUGS,

Dang you, Star! You HAVE to quit making me cry!
I loved this line: “If there was a club for how to stay miserable, she and my son would be founding members.” How very true! Although, I think Michael's whole life was spent being miserable. Never really appreciating what he had. He might not have had all the worldly goods, but he had the true, unconditional love of a mother... a LOT of kids would give anything to have that.
I can hardly wait until Brian and Ian corner Mel... and tell her how it's going to be. And hopefully, Ted can get everything out of (Rita?) to let them know exactly what is going on with Mel. I wouldn't be surprised if she was let go at the firm she was working at. With her temper (and her 'I know best attitude') ... she probably had clients either leaving or complaining. I remember her being adamant about needing David's support money... unless she has gotten herself in some other type of trouble.
Yes, I hope Gus eventually gets his impossible too.

It's comforting to read how the family is starting to grow up again, only with the "obligation free" stamp. The dynamic is changing for the best and Jenny is getting included as well.
I can't wait for the next chapter which may be "bloody".
