Melanie trying to use Gus to get back into her family's good books is just plain WRONG!! I'm glad that Brian let her have it with both barrels. Hopefully she will rethink that foolish and selfish plan of hers. I'm so mad at her for thinking that way. For many reasons it reminds me of Lindsay. I suspect that even if her family does object to her being gay, that her association with that uppity bitch doesn't help matters at all.
YES!!! Daphne handed Michael is ass! I always wished she had let him have it in the series. Shucks I would have paid money to see it happen that way. There is a distinct difference between Michael's definition of 'best friend' and Daphne's. I think down through the years of the previous life, Brian understood that difference more and more. I've also always loved the Brian-Daphne dynamic and felt that they should have expanded on it. It's so good to see that it could happen here!
Off to read the next chapter! I swear it really is like reading it for the first time all over again! I'm noticing little things that I didn't see to mention before.

Having Daphne meet Michael was priceless. She told him off and he still wasn't listening.

Ahhhhhhhh. the ever present ideology that we must raise our children to the belief systems that we were and the need for famililial acceptance. I can see both sides, however, Mel's reasoning is so typical. Not considering the child, but themselves. Brian's motivations is simply looking out for the best insterests of his child. He's right. those kinds of mods can be done according to the childs own beliefs when he or she is old enough to make those decisions for themselves. It's too hypocritical of Mel to continue with a bris if she herself doesn't follow the belief rituals. That her only motivation is for the acceptance of her family. They already don't accept her for her lifestyle, getting some foreskin cut off isn't going to change their opinion.
JUSTIN'S BACK!! YAY!! And for good now. So happy for them both. Things should get interesting now!
Daphne is a doll. Have always loved her and wished she had more scenes in the show especially later on. She just doesn't put up with anyone's crap. The's teh poster girl for what a "best friend" really is. Michael hsa no idea what the concept really is, and becuase of Daphne, Brian can really see the difference. At least this time around he's not making excuses for Michael's behavior and attitude.
Cheers,
