Queer as Folk (2000–2005): Season 5, Episode 11 - Fuckin' Revenge - full transcript

[] After the Babylon bombing, everyone is somewhat shell-shocked. Ben switches his college class debate from an author to how to handle violence and gay-bashers; the students diverge, their sneer nothing can touch him is countered with Mikey's critical condition. Drew accepts to be guest speaker at the vigil for the victims, Emm is too gloomy to leave home. Michael wakes up to Ben and Deb's blissful relieve, and gets an unhoped visitor: Hunter is back, he hitched to Disneyland defining good behavior as 'not blowing any driver', Deb guesses he really wants to be taken back. Brian visits Justin's grimly humble solo home and surprisingly offers marriage, refused as he probably acts out of mere shock. Despite a quote for rebuilding within insurance payments, Brian tells Ted he won't reopen Babylon, next commissions Justin's mother to sell his loft, without telling the boy. While Ted tells his lay in the humping room he feels guilty, Drew speeches well, but when a bigot is mad enough to say there fags deserve to die Em and even Ben loose control, Brian reassures 'Zen Ben'. Brian takes Justin on a 30 minutes ride to a fairytale country mansion- which he bought to repeat his proposal, now seriously convincing and consummated by the palatial fireplace.

Poor Brian.
