Previous: Episode 1.7, Keefe is in love, Scotty is hard, and everybody s*ks dick. With photos of guys doing it
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.
He tells them that Scotty had to leave town unexpectedly, and Jesse praises him for helping a guy who was "down on his luck." Then he encourages Gideon to share his "special news" with Amber.
He says: "I'm not in love with Scotty."
"In love with Scotty?" Amber repeats, confused. I'm confused, too. That wasn't the special news. Jesse just finished saying that he was helping the guy, not dating him. Is Gideon trying to convince himself?
He clamps down: "I'm not. I'm just your son, regular."
Now Jesse seems to be convinced that they were dating after all, and encourages Gideon to bounce back: "there's a lot of handsome fish in the sea." 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.
"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 fudged 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. The partners were kept completely in the dark. If only Kelvin had been a little more forthcoming, Keefe could have called security.
Scotty then kidnaps Jesse and Gideon and takes them to Eli's house, where Eli hands over the key to the church vault. Wait -- how do they get past security guard Brock?
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." Remember, Jesse said earlier that betrayal by a "loved one" can break your heart.
It appears that Scotty had romantic feelings for Gideon.. He just didn't know how to express or experience. love without manipulation, threat, and control.
Despondent, he drives away, while the background song describes precisely the sexual acts they engaged in, and why Gideon didn’t “just leave.”
Creeper got mad and angry eyes – one look from him can paralyze.
Upon his lips the taste of pain, venom kiss of love insane
He got a rod beneath his coat – he gonna ram it right down your throat.
Make you grovel on the floor, spit up and scream and beg for more
Bonus Thai dicks:
I've been to Thailand Some fascinating historical and cultural sites temples, museums. Plus wall-to-wall gay clubs.
More after the break
