2013 brought us the boys hauled before a Senate Investigative Committee and caught between advocates of both the First and Second Amendments. Eddie made a last-ditch effort for André with a date on the cheap, while Aiko wandered a world where everything is reduced to simple black and white points of view. We met the Heathers, as Al is made Temporary Pope by the Gay Vatican Mafia. Ray took his hand at cooking Thanksgiving Dinner while Doc acted as mediator between two warring superheroes with a secret crush… on each other, and Elliot had to confront the limitations of parenthood when Gilles and their son Raymond-François were involved in a near-fatal car accident.

It was also the year when the boys had decided they’d had enough of life in the US and returned to Canada, only to discover that their apartment in Montréal was haunted by the spirit of a deceased exotic dancer. Doc wrote a trilogy of erotic novels that — for a few hours — were optioned as a series of films starring (who else?) Brad Pitt and Hugh Jackman. And if that wasnt enough, we learned the truth about Archie and Reggie.

Quite a year.
