Summary
Michael couldn't help but hold out hope for something good, deliberately ignoring the side of his brain that relied on logic alone.
Because that side of his brain was warning him that this was probably just another one of GOB’s magician meetings, in which GOB would plead that Michael be his stand-in assistant. Or the Hot Cops needed a place to crash for the weekend, and GOB wanted Michael to convince their parents to let a group of male strippers move in “temporarily”.
But Michael was ignoring that part of his brain, so.

Summary
Love is scary, and it’s weird, and it sends chills down Gob’s spine sometimes as he tries to figure out what it means. And maybe it means learning all the words to your boyfriend’s magic act and still getting excited when he pops out of a beanbag chair.

Summary
At the head of the table, George Sr was trying to enjoy his meal and failing miserably. If he’d been thinking straight he would have gone into another room and called J Weatherman and created an elaborate story involving an innocent man losing an arm to teach his kids that dinner time should be a calm time, where they listen to his stories about the day, but he’d had a couple scotches and decided to take his own father’s approach to teaching lessons.
or, a look into the bluth family before they were adults, why their development might be so arrested, and why buster even wants to get into a fight anyway.

Summary
Octavius was a good soldier, but never a good man. Goodness was impossible when survival was all that mattered : how to fight, how to endure, how to carve his place in a world that only valued the strengths of a soldier. These were important. Fairness, in retrospect, was not.
But war does not end when the battle is over. Blood washes away but guilt lingers. His hands remember what they were made for —anger, violence, ruin. And unsteady as they are now, he finds they are incapable of tenderness. It does not come as a surprise. Love was never his to hold, not without breaking it in the process.

Or: Jedediah finds himself stuck in a sugar jar and is forced to remember his time in the hourglass. Ahkmenrah just wants to make himself a sweet apple tea. They are not very good at talking about feelings.
