Hi back and thank you I'm not sure when I first joined that I asked to be added to the list but if you're still adding /accepting new fans, please feel free to include me.

You're welcome! I'm sure B will add you when she has a free moment.

I'm sure Mike feels guilty over what happened to Max, but I don't think this will be enough to steer him off of his revenge path. But who knows, it could be. I still think it's going to take a lot rebuilding trust there since he did exactly what she feared he'd do and this time she was hurt physically along with emotionally, I'm sure.

^Hopefully it will at least cause him to take a step in the right direction though. Someone he loves (I think he loves her even if he hasn't said it) got hurt because of his Mark vendetta tunnel vision. That should make him start to realize how destructive this path he's on is. He was all worked up in the last episode but I think once he calms down and clears his head a bit, he will see that he messed up and caused Max to get hurt. And I can't see him not feeling bad about that. He cares about her and if he hadn't left she might not have gotten hurt. He's got issues right now but surely he will see what he did wrong here and feel badly that she got hurt. This really should be somewhat of an eye opener for him. I'll be really disappointed if it isn't. I'm expecting it to just fix him entirely but like I said it should make him take a step in the right direction- towards healing and peace and letting this need for revenge go.

I think he wants to be good to and for her but right now, revenge seems to have a stronger hold on him than anything else. I do think Max ending up in the hospital because of him will make him realize that he needs to sort his life out though.

IBelieveInMiracles

Yeah it definitely won't be an easy or short path for him to be able to fully let go of his need for revenge but I like to think that someone he cares about getting hurt because of his vendetta would have a positive impact on him. He managed to put that gun down and that proves he has it in him to see past this vendetta. Max getting hurt because of him should effect the start of a change in him.

Glad to see so many new posters after those episodes.

I wasn't crazy about the cheating, but daaaamn

IBelieveInMiracles

^Yeah they are super hot together, lol. That part of why I need Mike to get his crap together and be deserving of her so we can get more scenes like that. Also I stopped feeling bad for Tom for getting cheated on after the creepy and potentially dangerous thing he did by keeping that laptop and when he contemplated letting Mike fall to his death. Neither one of those things are even remotely okay. So I'm not really upset about it being cheating anymore. Also I kind of feel like Max was hiding from her feelings for Mike with Tom anyway. Max/Tom just a relationship that needs to end anyway.

I will admit i did feel bad for Tom... i don't know what he's up to though

I felt bad for Tom at first, but not handing over the computer is not only stupid but it could get Max killed. Like someone said, he isn't letting anyone know that psychopaths were watching her apartment. That's crazy!!

As for Mike, I think he feels bad that Max got hurt but I still think his revenge is strong. It's hard to be in his corner right now because of the rage inside of him. I hope he gets his act together quick. Maybe seeing Max actually in the hospital will set him straight. But I doubt it.

Tom's been such a non-factor so far that I didn't really feel bad for him. Plus it's almost like Max has been "cheating" on Mike with Tom if that makes sense. I definitely didn't feel bad for him after he started spying on Max with the computer, but more importantly, didn't tell her that her house is bugged and she's obviously in danger. Something is up with him.

Yeah I agree, it's pretty hard to see where Mike is coming from and it's annoying that he went and did the exact thing she said he'd do. He kept telling her for two episodes that what they have is real but literally the first minute he has to decide between her and Mark, he goes after him and leaves her behind AGAIN. This time it could have killed her. So he has a lot to prove to her now, even more than before.

IBelieveInMiracles

Okay now I officially do not like Tom. He's still spying on Max and now he's got info that could destroy Mike and actually Max too. I'm worried about what he might do. I don't want Mike to get in trouble. I mean obviously what he did was wrong but he wasn't in his right mind after watching his father get brutally murdered and honestly death has been the only way to stop the psychopaths they've been dealing with. And there are so many shades of gray areas on this show. It's just Mike is a good guy, he really is and he deserves to live his life. None of the psychos on this show have truly had to pay for their crimes with jail time or legit death sentences and it would just be really ridiculous for Mike to be the one who gets punished. And I don't trust Tom not to do something with this info. But he needs to realize he could take Max down with it too because she's involved with that situation. Ugh, I do not like this. And I'm ready for Mike to start getting his crap together. He's better than this. He has to let this vendetta go. I hope Mark is dead for Mike's sake but knowing this show he probably isn't. I need Mike to get past this and survive this. And I want to see he and Max have a real chance at a relationship. I hope he gets another chance to choose between his Mark vendetta and Max, only this time he chooses Max. If he could do that, then they have a chance. Also I hope that Max finds out what Tom is doing, dumps his butt and finds a way to protect Mike. I'm not saying what he did was okay, but on this effed up show, he does not deserve to go down for it. After everything they've been through Mike, Max, and Ryan all deserve to live their lives and be happy. I really believe that. But Mike has to start getting his crap together for that to happen. Ryan did it though, so that gives me hope that Mike can do it too.

YoursToHold

He really does & he doesn't even go visit her at the hospital?

And sadly you know he would make the same choice again in a heartbeat to go after Mark than stay with her... you could tell just by his response at the end of the episode.

IBelieveInMiracles

^To be fair, I don't think she wanted him to come see her in the hospital, nor did Ryan want him to visit her either. She wasn't returning his calls. So I think there was some anger there and Mike was just giving her space. Also even though he still wants to kill Mark and wishes he had, I still like to think he would've done things differently to at least prevent Max from getting hurt. I actually get where Mike is coming from and why he is in so much pain and has so much anger, but this behavior is starting to seem OOC. He is just not this guy that would let someone he cares about get hurt just to get his revenge on Mark. They are taking it too far now. That's why I really hope he gets another chance to prove he can put Max first. I want him to start healing because watching him put catching/killing Mark above all else is upsetting. He's in pain and he's angry but he is better than this. He is a good man. And I think he deserves redemption. He's just got to get his crap together and stop being so destructive and reckless.

I saw hints of the good guy Mike that I grew to like in this episode. Yes, he's still got revenge on his heart but he knows he should've had Max's back. He knows he screwed up. I think her not returning his calls and telling him to leave her apartment was a bit of a wake up call for him. Not sure it will go all the way through, but he realizes his decisions have consequences. And he's lucky she's still alive or it would be a whole different story.

Tom is scaring me though...

YoursToHold

Someone needs to catch Tom in the act already
