So many wonderful moments in this chapter: the one for Ron was very sweet, yea for Teddy, I hated the whole JR/Michae/Gus/Brian way the series handled that and am glad you are taking pains to make that a different thing entirely here.

The interlude at the studio was very well done. I, too, could see the painting in my mind. And, Brian asking Justin for a date! I am looking forward to reading that (and the bath scene as well!)
