    Oh...I haven't felt so much embarrassment and laughter at one character's expense in a long time. Poor Zayne, but I must say I'm glad it happened and in a horrifyingly skin cringy way. Because in order to get through his daft brain, it has to be rotten. Now...how will he deal with the fallout?

    If I know Zayne, this isn't going to be the reason he goes back home. Getting busted in Eun's mess will, so we have more missteps in store. I'm going to cringe on the next update. He's going to be MORTIFIED! Hope it's not deadly. ;)

    I'm starting to wonder if Zayne's going to try and blame everyone but himself for all this. When really, it's his own fault that it even happened in the first place.

    Though now I wonder:
    Perhaps Zayne needs a visit from the spirits like his Aunt Jossy did some time back? (but you know, a tougher one than what she got)

    Zayne! Whatever happened to not bringing a guest when they weren't invited in the first place!?!? Not only did you break that rule all of your invites broke it too!

    Oh well, that party didn't go very well for Zayne AT ALL :sweat_smile: Even though it is his own fault here, I still feel very sorry for him because the college kids were really mean and nasty :/

    My personal hero of this chapter was Coleen :) Not only did she get Rory out of this mess, she also at least tried to help Zayne there :D And I think she was the only one who didn't made fun of Zayne because he is underaged though she didn't know it either :|

    Great episode again :D

    @YJB19299 Yeah, they were so cruel to him! Poor kid :( I'm glad you enjoyed Coleen in this one :blush: I love her (Thank you for making her!). She's a nice girl.

    Oh yes @pammiechick I was literally cringing myself when I wrote and screenshotted this one. It's painful (yet slightly amusing, I must admit :joy:

    I think you might be right that this isn't enough to get him to go back home... But I do think this might get him reflecting a bit more on some of his mistakes (which is good!). Perhaps he'll learn from this after all?

    @rednenemon That's a definite possibility! I think it could go two very different ways -- either he'll continue to live in denial and blame everyone else, or this will be the wakeup call he needed to realize that he's the one to blame. We'll find out Saturday! (Also, your spoiler-idea is very intriguing! I like it :smiley: )

    Haha yes @Ruby10990 he let this one spiral out of control! I don't think Remi and River are too happy :joy:

    I already sense that something terrible will happen in future parts :/ Even though Zayne totally messed up, I'm kinda worried about him. And the fact that out of all Eun still talks to him makes this even more alarming :o

    Eun wasn't at the party so he doesn't know about Zayne's lies.

    He was, he was in the picture with Remi, River and Coleen cloes to the end of the previous interlude :)

    Zayne you've already paid for the piper's performance even so you still want him to continue playing. Hope it's worth it ;)

    I noticed Eun at the party in the background and that he didn't make fun of Zayne or say anything. This isn't surprising since why would he want to p*iss off one of his darling worker bees? I'm so glad Zayne is wising up...but he has it all wrong on not being able to show his face to his family. They would all be joyous (well, except for Charlie--she probably wouldn't like all the attention he'd get by coming home.) Why won't he just go?

    Hmm...I REALLY hope he doesn't get busted by an undercover cop. That could EASILY happen. Ugh! :astonished:

    @YJB19299 I understand your worry! Zayne is still stuck in Eun's very dangerous "business", so there are many bad things that could happen. We'll just have to wait and see...
    Zayne you've already paid for the piper's performance even so you still want him to continue playing. Hope it's worth it ;)

    @WitcHazard Hahaha love it! Zayne has paid the piper indeed... hopefully there will not be an encore!

    Yeah @pammiechick Eun definitely saw everything go down, but kept mysteriously quiet ;)

    And you are right about Zayne -- I don't think his family would react quite the way he's expecting if he went home right now. He's just very embarrassed right now and too afraid to face anyone after all that's happened. But you're also right that he's definitely starting to wise up. I think he's able to see things much more clearly now that his charade is over.

    Now the question is what he'll do from here...

    Aw, twit waffle, don't give Eun the ammo to manipulate you like that. This won't end well, hang it up and bow out with the tiny shred of grace you still have.

    RUUUUNNNN! Yipes! What was Zayne thinking? That'd Eun would let him go with a bonus? Especially with a threat? Ugh. He should lose major points for that.

    Weeeellllll, ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ. Zayne was trying to do the right thing, which I give him props for. Drugs are a messy business though, I'm not sure why he thought he could just say "oh hey, not my cup of tea anymore". Also, threatening Eun in his own apartment was probably not a good idea.

    Haha @pammiechick and @kayt45 you are both right. Zayne was really trying to do the right thing, but he went about it ALL wrong. I think he kind of has the same issue Jocelyne has -- assuming the best in people (like she did with him during this whole thing haha) so he convinced himself that Eun was really his friend and would understand...

    Boy, was he wrong!

    Is it weird i want him to accidentally kill Eun and be put on trial fro manslaughter. Or somebody unexpected kills him and Zayne has to live with knowing that, but says nothing. Or he just wakes up in a hospital!

    @WitcHazard - I love all your possible scenarios! I can see any of those happening... I expect Zayne will maybe get busted by an undercover cop. Someone else suggested that as well. So many ways this can go very, very bad.
