"When you close your eyes, who are you thinking about?" ~David

Justin's artwork and sketchbook finally become a centerpiece for this installment of Queer as Folk. Ted goes to 'DateBait' where he can meet other men over 30, and Emmett accompanies him. He meets a stable guy, but isn't so sure that he likes him. Lindsey takes an interest in Justin's work and gets him a place at the Gay/Lesbian Center. Brian tries to constantly be the center of attention after he officially meets David, and he doesn't like what he sees. The scenes between Brian and David are really full of energy, and I just loved seeing how they played out. The two of them were at each other's throats practically the entire time in a struggle for Michael's attention. Overall, a great episode with one of my favorite endings, and a dark, ironic one at that.

I really like the development of the characters and their relationships. I feel like I am getting more into it and like it more.

I liked Ted's story, it was interesting to see how he is trying to change his dating habits after his OD. And it shows us the situation when someone seems to be right for you and yet not your type in a very believable way.

I really like the story about Justin's mom. It is interesting to watch her dealing with the situation. It is interesting to see how she is trying to be 100% accepting and yet has some sort of mixed feelings since it wasn't something she was ready for.Sherry Miller does a great job to show the emotions she is going through

And I also love the story of Michael. The tension between Brian and David was great. Was nice to see Brian have some sort of jealousy because of Michael. At least this is how I interpreted it. I am interested to see where it goes. I liked how Melanie told David about Brian and Michael when she didn't know who it is. Great scene and I think it will be great for the story because David is now worried about Brian.
