I see where Lindsay gets her behavior she learned at the knee of Mommy Dearest, ignoring the truth won't prevent your world being destroyed Millicent is not playing!
Ron is finally stepping up and putting his foot down (Took Him Long Enough!!) he better be prepared to take away Nancy's toys or she like her daughter won't learn the lesson (Take away her charge card and talk to the bank), Ron was brilliant to get Lindsay to sign away her hide away now they have nothing to fall back on.
Happy that Kiki had a night to shine like a diamond and out class some of those Wasps.
Zee and Emmett are going to be very busy which is Great!
Perhaps Ron should get the transcripts of the court hearings and he might want to be there for the next hearings it should really open his eyes more about Lindsay.
Does Lindsay still plan on going to Melody's party? Hope she brings Michael? ;)
Author's Response:
Ah yes Ron finally grew his balls back...more on that to come.
And it will be of no surprise to anyone that she intends to go to Melody's party.

Nancy better listen this time to what Millicent and Bernadine are saying or she will be iced out and even Siberia won't take her.
Lindsay and Michael should feel bad what they did to Phil and about what just happened to Deb in front of the patrons of Liberty Diner who are going to send this out for everyone to hear and see on Liberty Avenue.
That was an Epic Burn for Lindsay and Michael who try and try yet can't take down Zee, she showed class why they just looked like whiny peons.
They continue to want revenge against Justin, Zee, Hunter and now they are gunning for their own daughter to put her in her place.
Nancy better rise up and put the Fear of God in these two or she could kiss her social standing goodbye, time for her to drop her little princess Andover her sink or swim with Michael.
Can't Wait to See what happens now after the Liberty Avenue Burn and the visit from the Queen Wasp???

HOLY TORPEDO BATMAN!! The Wonder Twits, Captain ASSHOLE and DUMBelina have been foiled again!! But of course they never learn so wee'll continue to enjoy the show!
The court case in Chapter 48 was AMAZING!! The way Jenny and Judge Maatje wiped the smugness off of Michael and Lindsay's faces was priceless. They were both so damn sure that Michael would come out victorious with his warped sense of entitlement to Brian's life. Then to bring up Hunter's relationship with Matt and imply that the young man is abusive. OMG I was so glad when Ivan tore into him on the stand about his comments and actions towards Hunter. Jenny was the coup de grace advising the court and corroborating every single gripe Hunter has with Michael, even exposing her own actions before and after seeing what a user her father really is. And then to top it all off, Ivan mentioned the pictures that Michael felt Lindsay should be given money for. WHAT?!?! Then Phil....WHEW!!! I don't think I have ever been so proud of a character- an attorney, no less- than I was the moment he told the judge he wasn't willing to put Hunter on the stand. I really hope that Judge Maatje paid really close attention to what Jenny said about Michael's character and that Phil won't face the dire consequences he seems to believe he will.
Then to make matters worse, in the beginning of this chapter, Michael is going on and on about his plans to appeal and what Hunter owes him...MITCH PLEASE!!! Hunter owes Michael nothing except a punch in the mouth and a swift stiff kick in his nonexistent ass! I hope all of his ranting and ramblings with his audience of DUMB gets back to the judge. Trifling asses doesn't even begin to describe these two.
As for Lindsay.... Last chapter I was floored by her unmitigated gall to think she could simply go to the Brownstone and talk Hunter out of his actions. I'm so glad Hugo and Martha were there to put a stop to that immediately otherwise I think Matt actually would have smacked her.
I actually laughed loud and long at her attempts to 'make Michael shine' during the hearing. She needs to be focused on her own mess, yet she's constantly sucked up in his Whirlwind of Wishful thinking. These two are really pathetic! And it showed even more with her attempt to "tattle" on Justin about the Bloom sale. I would have given anything to have been able to see her face when Brian told her that because she was a bitch, he had to reveal Justin's wedding present of the gallery early. Her Michael back at the hotel, licking their collective wounds from the verbal ass kicking from court, was hilarious! Justin and Zee must be one helluva a fuck, indeed!! No, they are both just terrific people which add to their partners' lives and are not there simply for what they can get out of their men- a lesson Michael and Lindsay will NEVER understand. But then again since they share a brain, I wouldn't expect them to. All hail the Wonder Twits
The Diner scene was EPIC for so many reasons! The first one is that Deb has FINALLY dropped her dead-weight and fought back against her emotional bully. Instead of Michael acting as if he has learned that all throwing tantrums has done is left him with a sore ass and no life, he issues more threats and this time it's regarding his daughter. And in front of the Gay Grapevine no less. How stupid and arrogant can one be not to realize that even though Liberty Diner's patrons are often there in a relaxed capacity, there are still those amongst them with successful, high-powered jobs which could very well bring them into contact with judges, doctors, attorneys and other indivviduals which can determine the outcome of his other pending cases? What a MORON!!
And his Wonder Twit, Dumbelina is no better! In this day and age of video streaming, why would she publicly act like a Boorish, Brainless Bitch not knowing who around her may be recording and willing to put it out there for Mother and Daddy to see along with the rest of the world? She just has to be RIGHT even when she is DEAD WRONG! I LOVED that Faal let her know that just as Brian didn't like Michael and Lindsay, he didn't either. Emmett was a freaking gem detailing all he has in comparison to Lindsay: the man of his dreams, a mansion, two dogs, two successful businesses while all she has is...Michael. PRICELESS!!!!! And also TRUE! And his broke, punkass can't do anything for her...well not unless she gets desperate enough to allow him to do that tongue thing Patrice said has potential....LMAO! YUCK! Now I need Brain Bleach from the images but that's okay because Millie is even more pissed off than she was before and that's going to be my cure-all.
I'm glad the Queen WASP got hold of the recording courtesy of Arnold and Bernadine. Between those three, the Petersons are either going to disassociate themselves with theit dumbass daughter OR enter financial ruin and commit social suicide. Nancy should really learn the difference between threats and promises. They are already looking for a reason to freeze all of the Petersons out of the nest. I seriously doubt they aren't willing to use everything in their collective arsenal to do that. I hope Nancy will enjoy having Michael and Lindsay for her dinner party next week because it looks like they will be the only guests if Nancy doesn't wise up. I think after talking to Phil, and really hearing with Millie and Bernadine was trying to tell them without having to come straight out and say it, Ron is more than ready to wash his hands of Lindsay. Hopefully he will be able to talk Nancy's ignorant ass into it as well.
Great Chapter and looking forward to MORE!!

Holy GUACAMOLE!! Michael and Lindsay are such a waste of skin this court proceeding was such a farce that I understand why Phil did what he did.
No child should ever look at their parents with contempt and loathing , our parents are supposed to be our heroes, protectors, loyal cheering section and who we model ourselves on.
Michael and Lindsay could never be that due to their selfish and grandiose behavior, they see their children as pawns to get them closer to Brian and keep them in The Inner Circle, Michael and Lindsay put more value on their social standing than their kids.
Phil had to put a stop to the madness and give Hunter the peace he deserved, how could Phil look his daughter in the eye knowing he continued to fight for a moron who doesn't love anyone but himself.
If he gets fined he is willing to take the hit as long as it gets him away from Michael and Lindsay!
Ron and Nancy are not going to enjoy the fallout from their machinations Millicent is gunning for them now.
Lindsay should have really paid attention to Jenny on the stand because they still have the emancipation hearing and Jenny was just getting started.
Lindsay you are out in the cold with Michael and the world is about to get a lot colder The Wasp Gangstas are coming lol

YIHAA!!! Mickey out for the count!! Somebody should take that little mizer of a man and chop of those dreades arms of his. I think that was the straw that made the judge snap and have him removed for contempt. Those crossed arms! Such a pity he didn't stomp his feet right there and then. For I think she would have him dragged out of her courtroom. That man is too stupid to be true.
As for Lindsey? Hypocrital coniving little cow. She can threaten who ever she wants. Her stinger has been removed. She's no longer a wasp but a gnat in everybody's ear. I'd love to get a newspaper and squash her. But wait a minute! Brian just did that didn't he by telling her he bought the gallery as a wedding present for Justin. Ooh that must have stung our stingerless wasp.
Bravo to Jenny who has become a very grown up teenager. She has more wits in her little finger than her father has in all of his stupid head. The former wasp outclassed by a teenager. Respect to Jenny.
Thank you for another wonderful update that birightened a dull day and rook my mind of the pain right now.

First I have to say that I feel so sorry for Phil, but I think the Judge does as well.
Things Michael did wrong: 1) didn't read what his lawyer gave him. 2)got on the stand. 3) opened his mouth. 4) allowed Lindsay to be his witness.
If necessary Brian would have gotten on the stand to rebuttal everything Mikey said.
You did a great job on this hearing.

I'm thinking between Brian (and Kinnetik), Zee & Faal and now Milliscent, they're going to own a good part of the Pitts! Well, at least the good parts. Lol. Ron and Nancy, while this is there intention, may not be as fortunate.
I'm wondering if seeing Hunter about the hearing was really Lindsey's motivation for going by the Brownstone? She mentioned “among other things” Hmmm. Interesting. Who knows with her. At least she once again got her ass handed to her. I never seem to tire of reading those parts. ;) " “Martha darling, can you go ask Matt where he keeps the shovels there’s a shit on the doorstep.” Oh that was classic!! I'm curious as to what Lindsey thinks Zee has to lose? Where on earth does she come up with that? It’s beyond me.......She still seems to think she has "power" of some sort. uh huh....
Michael was a joke! Nonsense and utter bullshit right from the start. Twisting and manipulating everything to serve his own purpose. Outright lying no less! He tried too often to sway from the truth, only for Ivan to bring back around again. He still continues to call Brian “my best friend”. Even in court. He’s just digging himself in deeper and deeper. I admit to almost cheering when Michael was sent to the cells!
Lindsey was no better. Try as she might to do or say what she could to “help” Michael, she too had everything turned around on her; Was forced to acknowledge some truths. And still claiming a type of ownership of Brian. That Michael is one of her and Brian’s best friends…
Jenny as a bigger pair that Michael will ever have! Between admitting to speaking out in court, and being a witness. She’s amazing! What a terrific young woman she’s growing into. Now if only Michael and Lindsey could’ve appreciated her. They’ll soon learn not to take everything and everyone for granted. They’re going to lose a lot, and have done too.
Another cheer for Phil! What a stand up guy. Yes…he’s putting his name on the line, risking a possible fine etc., but so well worth it. Now just the Emancipation left to deal with and he can permanently kick these 2 to the curb. Their legal bill is going to be interesting! If I remember correctly, neither ron nor Nancy will be contributing to those fees. Hehehe.
And Lindsey finally hears the truth about Bloom Gallery. And told by Brian himself no less. She can’t turn that around now can she? ;)
Yet another fantastically brilliant chapter. Thoroughly enjoyed every word.
Cheers,
Elaine

I liked the extended part with Emily it goes to show that her life will always be better than Lindsay's.
I wonder what clout and who Lindsay thinks will help her get back at Lydia and Justin, considering all the people she stepped on to prove she was some kind of Maven of the art world and her affair with Sam Auerbach that everyone knows about I doubt she has a leg to stand on.
And Michael has no one of any note that has the power to touch Justin, being Brian's shadow does not guarantee anyone would dare risk the wrath of Brian Kinney.
Neither one has a pot to piss in or a fort to depend on they have both burnt bridges that can never be repaired.
Will be amusing to see what these two nitwits come up with and how each of their court cases turn out especially after they have taken the stand.

LOL! No worries Nicole! It just means that us great minds are thinking alike. In fact, the next chapter of ADLS has a similar "Justin's memory" storyline and somehow as I was typing it out, I was like 'really? this is the way its going to happen?' Mine is taken more from the clinical approach but his memory is triggered fully in a most emotional way. The same thing happens/ happened with my a few other WIPs but the good thing about it, is that everyone's take is different and Thank goodness for creative license because where would we all be without that!
Happy Writing and HUGS my friend!

Oh the trials and tribulations of Captain Asshat and Stuck-up Heifer they really don't believe in the old saying: People In Glass Houses Shouldn't Throw Stones.
Barely two months into a new year and they have been tossed on their Asses several times, smacked down several times and still they act entitled.
I can't wait for the court case to start Phil might need to reconsider his profession after dealing with these two.
I wonder what Ted is or has done to make sure that Lindsay can't use Canada as an option to get the kids.
I like Faal's parents they are a hoot I especially liked when they insulted Lindsay, Zee with knives is scary, but then again Zee not revealing her ultimate plan for Captain Asshat and Stuck-up Heifer has me even more scared.
Ron and Nancy putting the whiny twins up in a hotel is a ploy right?
They are going to leave them with the bill right?
Best part was Justin and Brian celebrating the fact that Justin remembers Prom and that Brian always looking out for him.
Can't wait for the next chapter :)
Author's Response:
But they don't throw stones, they throw boulders.
He's reconsidered it alright and but don't worry a WASP flies in and makes it all nice for a bit...before they start in again but it makes his life oh so much easier
Our Ted has come up with a couple of fine roadblocks for Lindsay...
Zee is slowly backing her into a corner so she has no choice but to come out blazing and make a catastrophic error in judgement, remember who Zee went to school with.
Oh yes they celebrated and then some...more happy prom to come.

I think my brain reacted a bit like Emmett did. While I may not have physically fainted, I think my mind just kind of drew a blank. Oh I hope it's permanent! I'd hate for him to have those lovely memories, just to have them dissapear again. Weird how the mind works. If they went away again, would he remember that had them, even for a short time? That would be awful.
What an AMAZING surprise for Faal and Zee!! Oh I can't wait to read more about his parents. Faal's mom??? OMFG! Classic! Absolutely classic! I died laughing at what she said to Lindsey! Adn his dad!?! BAHAHA! "this is it" callign Lindsey an IT rather than "she". omg..so so very funny!
Ron and Nancy...not so sure they'e going to stand strong. I sure as hell hope so! Will he foot the bill for the hotel or will he have her pay for it? And honestly, how bloody stupid is ron for giving Linsdey Phil's home address!?!! I mean holy shitballs! Phil is gonna make him pay for that one that's for sure.
Definitely looking forward to the judges getting all this shit dealt with. Neither one of them is going to put up with any of L&M's crap. Yet 1 more thing to anxiously look forward to. (insert evil laugh here)
I never even considered Lindsey takingthe kids to toronto. Mind you, it seems she hasn't either. It's not like she'd be able to look after either one of them, nor would Michael if he tagged along. He couldn't legally anyway. what does Ted know???
I will await the next update with bated breath!

Brian and Justin - It's so nice that Justin has his memories back and will be painting them while he can. Hopefully he gets to keep them.
Zee and Faal -Zee had a lot of fun telling L&M they no longer have anyplace to stay. Charles and David brought a little surprise for them. Faal's mom and dad, from South Africa? Why did Faal's mother offer to give money to L&M? So everyone's at Britin and explainations all around about Charles and David moving into Shadyside. I take it that Hank is spending time with Josh, Carrie and Sarah? As always the food is out of this world.
Lindsay and Michael - I laughed so hard at learning that Michael has been spending his money buying back his own stuff. Serves him right. For now they are homeless, though Ron seems to have offered to pay for their stay at the Marriot? Not a good move. Then he compounds his error by giving them Phil's home address. Then they actually thought they could have lunch at Britin?
Phil - Poor guy, at the moment he's stuck with dumb and dumber as clients, but once they pay their sizable bill he's out of there. No more Peterson's to demand his services.
Mel, Ben, Steve and Hunter - Ben and Steve are doing well and even Eli realizes it. Then Steve brings up the fact that Lindsay could take the kids to Canada since she has a house there. A scary thought.
Ted - He only has one mention in this chapter but a big one as he tells Mel she has nothing to worry about. He's the man.
Author's Response:
Brian and Justin: There is more prom things to come...nothing bad but final closure
Zee and Faal: She was being sarcastic and leading up to the 'fucks I give' punchline and whoops that should've said Treehouse not Britin.
Lindsay and Michael: oh yes they shouldn't have done that...suggesting the hotel or giving the address, that is going to bite them big...and again that was supposed to be Treehouse not Britin...might actually need to get a Beta
Phil: he has a vigilante from an unexpected quarter
Mel, Ben, Steve and Hunter: worry thou not because...
Ted: is more than the man, he's a vengeful accountant who feels he's paid his dues and should not be looked sideways at...!
