Wonder if anyone is watching this!?!? Anyhoo....

Shar made a really really bad decision in screwing Brenda in the bathrooms. That may come to bite them back in the butt.

How long has it been since Shar had the babies? Did they SORAS them? They shouldn't be able to talk yet. Ruthie's shout out to The L Word was sweet.

Mingus contacting HIV was sad. But the contrast in how they showed him getting tested and getting the results compared to the original US QAF was awesome. It wasn't a shameful thing. He wasn't assigned a number for privacy and had to wait days or a week for the results. But it's still a disease that is out there and he could have prevented it by practicing safer sex. In any type of sex - USE A CONDOM!

Noah's and Julian's relationship is doomed. Noah's over use of "babe" to Julian just gives me a vibe that he's a placeholder. I always maintained that if your partner overuses terms like "babe, sweetheart, amore" they are not super serious about you.   Plus I don't know, but either Julian the character or the actor Ryan O'Connell makes me think the dude is an ass in real life.  Has to be the character.  I tried watching O'Connell's show Special, which was about a gay man who has CP and trying to live independently and couldn't get into it.

Brodie having issues in growing up in rich white family was apparent from ep 1.  I get it, he feels like the token adoptive kid.  I would like to know why Brenda adopted after having Julian.  Was it because Julian had CP and they didn't want to risk the same on another child and decided to go the adoption route? I was actually glad that Brodie pushed Julian down.

Am I supposed to feel bad for Brodie? He's such a selfish asshole that all I can think is, if he stood on the edge of a tall building, I'd just watch.
