RG Beefcake and Boyfriends: Gemstones Episode 1.7, Continued: Bisexual fish, Thai brothers, and Scotty with a broken heart. With a Thai dick bonus

Previous: Episode 1.7, Keefe is in love, Scotty is hard, and everybody s*ks dick. With photos of guys doing it

Earlier in this episode, BJ left Judy due to her constant abuse, and Gideon left Scotty...for the same reason? He also abandoned the plot to steal the Easter Sunday offerings. .

Exclusively Female Fish: That night, Jesse and Amber are congratulating each other on his performance, when Gideon appears, fortunately with no scrapes or bruises from his fight with Scotty.

Jesse encourages him to share "his special news" with Amber, but he says "I'm not in love with Scotty."

"In love with Scotty?" Amber repeats, confused. She is apparently unaware of the existence of same-sex desire and romance.

Gideon clarifies: "I'm not. I'm just your son, regular." Wouldn't it be easier to say that you're straight? But this show is notorious for talking around sexual identity. The word "gay" appears only once in Season 2 and not at all in Season 3, even though it is essential to Kelvin's plot arc.

Jesse assures him that "there's a lot of handsome fish in the sea," but Gideon says that he's looking for "female fishes exclusively. It was just a...."

Just a what, Gideon? Just a one-time thing? It's impossible not to conclude that Gideon and Scotty had a sexual relationship. There's not enough textual evidence to determine if the sexual activity began in California, or in South Carolina, or if Gideon was ever in love with Scotty. But we know that Scotty treated Gideon exactly as he treated his girlfriend Lucy, and to a lesser extent how Judy treated BJ.

"Ok, so you're bi," Jesse concludes.

Gideon protests that he's not bi, but his parents are so supportive, or he is so uncomfortable with the conversation, that he just lets it go, leaving the question open.

I suspect that the showrunners were unsure, when they planned the scene, if Gideon was going to be bisexual or not. They fuged by giving him no expressed romantic or erotic interest in anyone in Seasons 2 and 3, The Kelvin/Keefe and BJ/Judy relationship plotlines were enough.

You made your choice: Later that night, Scotty returns to the compound. Security chief Brock waves him through (Gideon really should have told him that Scotty is no longer welcome.) Remember that his blackmail van is in Kelvin's garage? He breaks the van through the garage door. Keefe sees him but thinks it's just one of Jesse's car pranks. Scotty then kidnaps Jesse and Gideon and takes them to Eli's house, where Eli hands over the key to the church vault.

At the church, after they load up the money, Scotty ties Jesse and Gideon back-to-back in the church vault, where they'll be rescued Monday morning, and punches them. "We could have been a killer team, the pussy brothers of Thailand," he tells Gideon. "Coordinating low-budget kung fu pics during the day, slammin' ass at night." Presumably he means girls, but you never know.

"But you made your choice, and you broke my fuckin' heart." Wait -- Jesse said earlier that betrayal by a "loved one" can break your heart.

It appears that Scotty actually had romantic feelings for Gideon.. He just didn't know how to express or experience. love without manipulation, threat, and control.

Bonus Thai dicks after the break
