CYNTHIA
Go and get him, tiger. The award, I mean.
Brian turning a trick while accepting an award. Talk about multi-tasking.
And here we see how well Brian follows instructions.
Insatiable!
Brian plans to leave for New York and Sunshine's world isn't so sunshiny anymore.
Em’s Southern Gothic horror stories from Hazelhurst.
EMMETT
All of my stories are true. And if they’re not, they should be.
JUSTIN
Don’t go. You can’t go. What are you gonna do without me?
BRIAN
You’re gonna meet some twinkie your own age.
JUSTIN
What do you think I want with some kid who doesn’t know shit?
I think as a good QAF fan I should rec soundczech ’s Subject To Change here.
JUSTIN
We should stop him.
MICHAEL
Stop Brian? Right. Next, we can take on Starbucks.
BRIAN
Lindsay, if I stay here, I’m gonna go out of my mind. Who knows what I’ll become.
LINDSAY
Probably who you are now. Only older.
EMMETT
[talking about a trick]Now that Brian’s finally out of the picture, I might actually stand a chance.
MICHAEL
You don’t sound like you’re gonna miss him.
EMMETT
I’m certainly not gonna miss being told ‘begone’ every time some hunk appears.
TED
I won’t miss his little bon mots about my age.
EMMETT
Although, I did think his referring to you as Dead Man Walking was kind of amusing.
MICHAEL
Or knowing you’re always gonna be his Plan B.
EMMETT
Or sometimes C.
TED
I won’t miss spending 300 bucks on a shirt from Calvin Klein collection only to have everybody stare at Brian’s bare chest.
MICHAEL
Or forced to wait outside a sex club in February because he needs a ride home.
EMMETT
I also won’t miss how he never takes shit from anyone.
TED
Or how he tells you the truth about yourself even if it is a tad harsh. But you should probably hear it anyway.
MICHAEL
How he refuses to let you coast through your life. No, I won’t miss that one at all.
Oh, right, Mikey's planning on leaving also. With the good doctor.
Brian's staying. Mikey's leaving. I could have handled this being the end of the Mikey plot.

Every Now And Then, Part 6
Randy’s POV
There’s still almost four more weeks left until we part for the season hiatus and I won’t see Gale again for several months. I’m scared but I don’t want him to know. I’m scared that he’ll come back changed. That the worlds will turn him into the exlusively hetero again. That his attitude towards me will change somehow. That he’ll realize that it’s all just been a spur of the moment kind of thing. That now, that the novelty of it has worn off, he won’t want to continue this thing between us anymore.
I’m scared for a million other reasons. But most of all because I let him into my life so deep. Because I wasn’t able to keep my distance and I’m afraid that he’s taken roots inside my heart that I’ll never be able to cut completely ever again without destroying myself in the process.
And I’m scared to show him that I’m afraid because he’ll think that I don’t trust in us. And he’d be right.
So I put on a mask and smile a smile that would rival Justin’s and hope that he’ll buy it. Because another thing that I can’t do right now is talk about it. Talking would make the soon to come separation real and we still have almost four weeks left. I need those almost four weeks.
Gale’s POV
He’s terrified and he won’t talk to me. I don’t know what it is that he’s afraid of but I feel the tenseness in his body everytime I come close. He’s putting up a brave front and I start to hate him a little for that. Not because he won’t talk to me - even though it does factor in. No. Because he thinks I won’t notice.
I don’t talk about what’s going to happen after the next episode is filmed, after the wrap up party is over. I don’t know where I’m going to be. Though I know that he’s going back to New York. He hasn’t asked me to come with him and I don’t dare ask. I don’t know if he doesn’t want to see me or if he doesn’t want to ask because he’s afraid I might say no. I don’t have any idea what’s going on in this pretty head of his.
Whatever the case, he needs to learn to think less and talk more. So, for the next 25 days, I’m going to pretend not to notice anything. And he’s going to hate me for that.
