Love the way you compare Mary Poppins to finding pajama pants.  Most unique.  Carl's part in this story is going to tough, having to rein in both Debbie and Michael.  Maybe he should get Ben to help out?  I can just picture Michael picturing Brian coming to in the hospital and grabbing a male nurse and saying.  Somebody call Mikey and let him know I'm okay.  Not!  Lindsay is going to be soooo shocked to find out she's not on the list of approved visitors.  I still giggle when I get to the part about the big scary man and Terrifying Lady.  Smart woman to call Everett.  The only people not scared of him are the cops.  I don't think they know better.  They'll learn.  I am surprised he's leaving Brian alone to go eat with Justin and his mom.  Things tend to happen.  But it appears that Brian knows what he's doing.  Sounds like Lindsay is seriously considering having Brian's baby, whether Melanie approves or not.  I wonder why?  Cynthia would be a better choice, but who knows.  Then we learn about the lady that's going to put Brian back together in Hazelhurst.  Lord help them.  I'm surprised that Brian let them put him in a wheelchair when he wanted to go for a smoke.  Noah knows that Brian senses colors?  How?  That stroking of the thigh has to mean something.  With all the times Brian was sent to the hospital, it's a wonder he has such a pretty face.  I can understand how Jennifer found it hard to read, I too found it painful.  There is so much in this chapter to talk about that words cannot convey.  But I must say the switch part was really cloak and dagger there.  I hope Brian and Justin realize what a prize they have in Emmett's friendship.

Author's Response:

Thank you, I could easily see Brian making the comparison to Mary's carpet bag. Carl will be riding a rickety fence as they say, doing a careful balancing act. Not sure about Ben, though it is a possibility. You are right on the Michael front as well. I love Cynthia-The Terrifying Lady!

Lindsay is a mess right now, but Brian will set her straight. I hope everyone likes my cop duo, I do. They just really want to do a good job and are very good at ovserving people and sizing them up quickly.

Brian was on the verge of another episode and really just wanted a cigarette, therefore he was willing to put up with anything in the short term to achieve that end.

Brian is a tactile person, and as you will find put later, the stroking of fabric or doing something with his hands in general is a grounding technique.

Brian is beautiful, physically speaking, and I like to think a higher power was looking out for him all those years, giving him something about himself he could be proud of.

I liked the cloak and dagger too.
