I hope Blair's okay back at the motel, and that Jim will be able to avoid the cops at the old warehouse.

Oh, boy.With Jim under guard in the hospital, Blair's going to be going nuts.


so, John's alive. Will he turn out to be a good guy or our for himself? He was pushing for confrontation with the cops, a tactic well used by undercover guys into protest organizations to get them into trouble..

Okay, I'm voting for John to be a bad guy.

Blair! Don't panic. Call your friend the doctor and see if he can find out who the guy they arrested and who is in the hospital right now is


Hoo boy. lots has happened, Blair in jail, hurt. Steven to the rescue, and the internet is the real hero of this story.

Naomi knows Jim has a limp? Has she been doing so intelligence gathering, since he's been in the wheel chair since they met in Blair's hospital room.


Blair is so brave, seeing solitary confinement as a positive thing. It won't be.

And he's on the wrong track again about Jim, but then his self esteem has taken a very strong beating. He's thinking he won't fit in with Jim anymore, that he's damaged and would be a drag on Jim, and that Jim would end feeling ashamed of him.

Blair. You are killing me here, with your withdrawal into your own little carefully structured world. You're going to have a hell of a time adjusting back from instituionalized life. But if the court case goes well, and you get your book money -- and by the way, I guess Jim never did confess he didn't pass along the messages from his cousin about suing Sid and Rainier -- then you're going to recreate your cell, aren't you, honey. You need a big tme intervention and tons of therapy.

so Blair won't have to testify and he's running from Jim, again. I have a horrible feeling that he's too damaged, has floated too far away and can't connect anymore with Jim, He's detached with love. Now, will Jim come after him or let him go, thinking it's what Blair really needs.

Being a writer makes such sense.

Good one, Jim. But now your eyes have been opened quite a bit, haven't they, about Blair's mental health. He can't handle change at all, now.

What are you going to do, Jim? If you push at him, you'll break him.

Blair, you've totally forgotten how to process things. And you can't wall away hurt and pain and stress because it will escape its prison every time, when new stress happens and whammo -- old hurts, new hurts and pain all overwhelming at once.

Slow is the key, very slow, glacier speed slow, And have some fun together. And Blair, honey, you need therapy still and Jim probably needs to go to rehab to get off those painkillers


So very human and complicated, the people in this story. I've been reading it all day, God, it was a riveting story, and you've ended it with Hope peeking out of Pandora's box.
