Episode 118

 Aired on 04.22.2001

David, Michael & Brian Justin Blake? & Ted Brian & Justin


Spoilers and candid opinions abound as Xof watches and comments on each episode of the US Queer As Folk. For those of you who can't watch QaF with a friend, Xof's delightful writing style allows you to feel as if you are in the room with Xof, watching the show. These are not comprehensive rundowns of the episodes, rather they are Xof's off-the-cuff instant reactions as the show unfolds.

(Sorry I'm rather razzed at having spotted Denise Crosby on X-Files. Tasha Yar as a 10 second walk-on emergency doctor . . . lol.)

Recapper is . . . . Harvey F!!!!!!! Yippee....

(And yes folks, we have the nudity warning back this week. How I've missed it . . . ha ha.)

Sounds of a rooster crowing . . . ??? And then half naked men in silver lame chaps and cowboy hats start dancing at Babylon. The boys are all there dancing . . . having a blast. Cool scene. Michael's there being eyed up by a very hot guy. Who grabs his ass and starts dancing with him. "You want me?" "There's no one else in the room, beautiful." Michael's telling him he can't due to being with David.

Justin and Brian talking about college. He's been accepted to Darmouth. He's saying he's not going. Wants to go the the Pittsburgh Institute of Fine Art. He's hoping that he'll get in. Emmett and Ted asking about the hottie that almost picked up Michael. Brian's telling Michael that he should have fucked him.

Ted spots Blake. The guy who gave him the drugs that put him in a coma. The guys are shooting murderous eyes up at him. Ted's saying he's still cute. Blake actually comes down to talk to him. The guy is totally on something. Emmett thrusts him off of Ted. Blake's hallucinating. He's getting turned down by Ted and walks (or stumbles) off. Brian's leaving and asking Michael if he's going to see the hubby.

OH SHIT!!! Brian's at the bathhouse. Porn on the monitors and open doors with hot guys fucking all around. He sees a very not hot guy and starts talking about who's hot tonight. They know each other. Guy's name is Marty. Overweight and greasy.

Ted at Babylon... Bathroom and Blake is passed out on the floor. He won't wake up. Ted picks him up off the floor but no one else there will help him.

AWWWWWWWWW. This is so damn explicit . . . lol. Bathhouse orgy with Brian walking around watching. Folks I'm talking every position imaginable. Two guys start licking and doing Brian. One in front and one in back. Oh my . . . Brian walks away to go over to a guy standing with his back to the room. The guy is getting jerked off by someone. Brian reaches around and takes off the guy's towel. The guy murmurs "I don't fuck." and SHIT!!!!!!!!! IT'S DAVID!!!!!!!!. Brian looks shocked and asks him "What's up doc?" David looks so fucking busted.

Ted at the hospital waiting... Emmett decides to leave him there after telling him that Blake's not worth it.

David comes home and practically mauls Michael. Thrusts him against the wall. Jerks down his shorts and starts to blow him. Michael's like totally surprised.

Justin at Deb's. He's gotten a letter from the Pittsburgh Institute. Is afraid to open it. Deb does for him. He got in. They all start screaming.

Ted at Blake's bedside. Blake wakes up scared out of his mind. Ted's trying to explain what's happened to him. But the guy is still whacked. Asking Ted not to leave. Ted tries to comfort him. But then Blake asks for candy and starts chomping down like a madman. He asks if Ted's been there all night. Tells him that he's been evicted last month, staying with friends. But that they won't look after him cause "they aren't those kind of friends." Ted's saying he needs help. Blake's crying saying that he's going to stop. Ted hugs him as he weeps.

Michael at the gym bragging about fucking David. Brian's making snide comments about how's David still have the strength. He's not telling Michael about what happened. Emmett is telling about his last time at the baths. He fucked someone who's supposedly straight. Ted comes in exhausted. Emmett is getting onto him for helping Blake. Asking if it's all over. "Please tell me you didn't take that tweeked out tramp home." The silence is Ted's answer.

Justin telling mom about his acceptance. She's telling him how his dad's gonna be so disappointed. About how hard it is to make a living as an artist. Lady shows up to . . . . THUD. She's a realtor. Jennifer's selling the house. And . . . oh shit. They are getting a divorce!!!!!!

Michael and David at Liberty Diner. David's telling Mikey he's hot. Brian shows up and purposefully sits between them. He's constantly spouting off jibes about last night. And ribbing the doc about what they KNOW really happened with his night. Outside the diner - Brian and David are standing together. David's mumbling really. Brian's pushing the point. David's saying that what he saw last night has nothing to do with Michael. Brian's telling him not to hurt Michael. That getting his rocks off is okay as long as he doesn't let Michael know. (Yikes.) (I sooo don't agree. Having an open relationship like what Brian would think (like what he's told both Michael and David this episode in fact) of is not acceptable unless both parties know and have agreed it's OPEN.)

Blake at Ted's place. He's cooked. And lighted candles. Ted's uncomfortable. He puts on music at Blake's request. "La Traviata" Blake says it's nice. Ted starts telling Blake the story of the opera. Parallels abound. But Ted doesn't tell Blake the unhappy ending of the music. Ted gets paranoid when he sees Blake pouring water. Blake tells him it's just water. No GHB. Blake's saying the dinner was a thank you. Then he starts to kiss Ted. The scene is sweet.

Lindz and Mel laughing. They are giving Justin an art set in congrats for the good news about the institute. He's so quiet. Closes it and thanks them. He tells them he's going to Dartmoth.

David and Michael at home. David's feeling guilty. He tells Michael the truth about where he was last night. Michael's face just drops. And he moves away from David. Michael's calling him about the possibility of giving him something from the visit. David saying he doesn't fuck. Mostly just jerks off. Michael tells him to fuck off and leaves.

Michael at his old apartment. All the guys are there. Ted, Emmett and Brian. Emmett says to leave him. Brian's asking if he thought he'd be monogamous forever. Saying that men . . . all men, not just gay men, aren't capable of being faithful. Says that they need to set rules about what to do and not to do. Michael's saying he doesn't think he can live with that.

Outside - Brian's let is slip that he knew about David. Michael's very mad. Asks if Brian fucked David. "No." Brian's telling him to just stop carrying on like some crying little housewife. Michael says that maybe he should just act like David too. Brian tells him if that's what he wants then just do it.

Ted's house. He's searching the place because his wallet is missing. Blake's back with an expensive gift. Paid for with money a "friend" gave back to him. Ted's telling him to give the wallet back to him. Blake says he didn't take it. Ted's throwing him out.

Deb's found Justin's sketch books. He threw them away. Tells her about Dartmouth. He's giving art up. She tells him it's not something he can give up. It's a part of him. He says it's what his parents would want. She asks with all due respect, what does it matter? It's his life. He tells her about the divorce. Deb's telling him he didn't break them up.

Michael in the park. Waiting and checking out his watch. Then the hottie from the club shows up. He's asking not to talk. Then he starts to kiss the fool out of the guy.

Emmett's place and Ted's there. Emmett's praising him for throwing Blake out. Emmett's trying on cloths as Ted talks about his feeling guilty about Blake. Asks him to go to Babylon. Ted finds his wallet in the couch!!!!! Oh shit.

Babylon - Ted, Emmett and Brian. Ted's going off to find Blake. Justin's trying to buy a beer. "Who do I have to fuck to get a beer?" "Me." Brian's there. Buying two beers. Razzing him for choosing Dartmouth. He's being brutal, too - but actually very insightful. Saying that the parents caused their own pain. Saying that Justin's scared just like the first night they met. He was brave then, so be brave now. Then pulls him out onto the dance floor with the glitter falling on them and the words "live forever young" playing loud as they kiss. (Good scene.)

David's house. He's on the floor organizing CD'S. Michael's come in. David's asking where the fuck was he. Michael's telling David that he was with someone. Tells him that they were at the guy's place. That he was getting a blow job but then he didn't want it anymore. So he stopped. And came home. That it was just sex and was meaningless and not like what he has with David. David promises not to go back to the baths. Michael says he doesn't want him to promise that. That they can't say something wouldn't happen in the future. That they are "guys." That they have to be realistic about that. That it doesn't mean they don't love each other. They'll just take it from there. David hands over some cds and asks him, "What to help me get things back in order?"- metaphor for their relationship. Michael says, "Sure."

Justin's in Michael's old room. He's trying to decide if he's going to send a letter to Darmouth saying he's not going. Picks up some paper and starts drawing. So we have his answer as we see the sketch progress to completion. And he smiles.

Next Week -

Brian's dad dies. He's saying that he's fine. Blake's back and Emmett is playing drama queen. Telling him that if he hurts Ted, he'll break his face. Brian's dad's funeral. Then we see Michael and Brian at the lost. Brian asks Michael to stay and Michael says just for a little bit. They lay on the bed with Michael's head on Brian's chest. Then Brian turns over and crawls on top of Michael. "What are you doing?" Michael asks . . . mmmmmmm.
