That's right, Justin! It was NEVER a contest, especially if Brian had to choose between him and Michael. There was absolutely no way Michael ever would have been able to keep up with Brian. He's whiny, clingy, and thoroughly uninspiring- basically the total opposite of everything Justin is for Brian. But with Emmett, and everyone else telling Michael the same thing, how can he continue to disregard the truth of the matter. But then again, that's Michael. If it doesn't fit with his narrative of how things should be, it's a falsehood on everyone else's parts. 

Justin and Joan's talk was good. She really is growing, and without any ulterior motive involved. She really does seem proud of the life Brian and Justin are building, and is a lot less self-absorbed now that she's stopped drinking. It's great to see.

So Michael is gambling again, huh? Well, just like the last time, I think he'll deserve everything he gets from once again making the worse possible decision for himself. It's just too bad that Emmett had to pay the initial price for one of Michael bad choices!

HUGS,
