This was a really interesting read. Thanks for taking the time to write it all.
I appreciated how Brian first snarked and teased, and eventually warned Justin about the Pink Posse but still supported him to others and didn't make the posse a deal-breaker. I can't imagine not haranguing my partner if in a situation like this (which wouldn't help at all), so Brian's attitude was admirable to me.
I was scared for Justin during this storyline and was relieved and *proud* when he walked away from Cody. I was a little surprised that nothing had changed for Chris, and that he was seemingly doing well. Poo to that!
Just a note, Justin also says, "They hate us, they want us all dead," in 201 referring to the judge, when he and Brian are throwing the ball. I don't think that necessarily means anything, I just wanted it noted for the record. :)
