Good episode. I like the story of Justin and Daphne a lot. It is a very interesting idea and I like how it is developing. It is of course bs that all females fall in ,love because of sex. But some do, and I can see it happening to a teenage one who slept with her best friend, even though he is gay.

I also like the development between Ted and Blake. It is very emotional and sweet. I like stories about drug addict, I always empathize a lot with them and I love the acting and the story in this case.

Michael really is a good friend. No matter what his haters say. he is there for his friend without acting like what he did was so extra ordinary and without hurting him with "good intentions" like Brian does.

"Gay men and straight girls sleeping togetherÂ… isn't that one of the signs of the apocalypse?" ~Ted

This episode was touching in so many sections and induced many tears. Brian loses his father and has to find some way to deal with it. Michael, who has been with Brian since childhood, never leaves his side, and there are several truly beautiful Brian/Michael scenes, especially the ending. The soundtrack is just spectacular, and it seems like every time it can't possibly get any better, it does. Blake also tried to leave Ted when Emmett threatens him, but Ted finds Blake and in an opera-like dramatic scene, he vows to help Blake no matter what. One of my favorites, with some of the best writing yet. Just spectacular. I just keep loving Brian more and more with every episode.

Good Grief is Correct!

Overall a good episode but the way the writers 'heterosexualized' Justin, albeit briefly, was a bit much and far fetched, undermining all the positive stuff. That's all I want to say.
