I remember after this episode ended. I remember I just burst into crying and I couldn’t stop for like 10 minutes lol. The end scene was so beautiful.
Same!!! All the tears! The last scenes with Brian and Justin in 5×11 are EVERYTHING!!!!
Hi E’Shel and Ken! I love listening to you. You’re both informative and entertaining.
I was wondering if Justin wasn’t being sarcastic when he said to Brian: “When you said you had something to show me I didn’t think it would be in West Virginia”, and Brian replied: “It’s less than half an hour out of Pittsburg”. However, according to Google, the driving distance from Pittsburg to West Virginia is 190 miles or 3 hours, 14 minutes, if driven nonstop.
Keep up with the good work.

I’m sure he was. I think the point was that it was very far from Brian’s usual neighborhood. The distance can and probably should be interpreted symbolically. Brian really has traveled a long distance for the man he loves!! But yeah, West Virginia is a bit of drive!! I think you can technically get to some of the border towns and cities in about 60 miles, but that’s still takes longer than 30 minutes!
