This was super intense
(spoilers)
So, a watered-down summary of what went down (because I forget easily): Grey and Mark decide to get out of town to escape Virgil's antics after the whole sewer thing. As they're driving out of town, Mark gets in a grumpy mood due to the stress and suddenly they start arguing.
Grey attempts to reassess the situation as they're driving down a blizzard by making him open up about his issues. Mark admits he was lonely and in grief after his brother's death which explains why he would take pick up random men (Grey)from the streets. Grey asks about the other men he picked up. Mark replies by sharing the last dude he attempted to pick up tried to rob him after intercourse- Mark beat the shit out of him, of course(I notice Mark dodges the question about what happened to the other 6 men).
After some more pushing, Mark practically exclaims Grey is the only reason why he keeps pushing on with life. At this point, Mark is clearly mentally unstable so he screams and floors 130 MPH straight down the road. Everything goes white and BOOM, suddenly there's no snow and the scenery looks like summer. (I'm assuming they exited Virgil's little environment.) The car doesn't work anymore so they start walking.
Mark is hit with guilt and starts apologizing to Grey. Grey nonchalantly forgives him for it because he's determined to put all of that in the past to "fix" Mark. Hours later, they run into an invisible wall on the road preventing them from going further. It's nighttime at this point so they decide to go in the woods to set up camp.
They have their little happy moment laughing, gazing the stars and getting frisky. Eventually, the nagging thought of his brother's photo come up.
Grey asks Mark what's up with the photo next to the TOYS. Mark comes clean and admits he had romantic relations with his brother(keep in mind, the way he phrases his confession is as if he doesn't have any remorse towards his actions). Grey is repulsed by this and runs towards the woods without hearing Mark out. In the woods,
Grey throws up from the shock and does some self-reflecting. Grey comes to a conclusion he'll give Mark a chance to explain under the pretense that he doesn't know the full story between Mark and Joshua.
Then, Grey realizes he left Mark behind and rushes back to the camp. On the way, Grey encounters a mangled version of Mark and realizes this is the consequence for leaving him behind. Grey immediately picks Mangled Mark and dashes straight towards the road. Once he reaches the car(with the key still in the ignition), he reverses and floors the pedal back to New York.
When Grey returns back into the blizzard, Grey almost runs into a truck from the opposite lane. He jerks the car to the right and crashes straight into a tree. Grey blacks out and awakens to being held up in the air (literally) by Virgil. Virgil mocks their escape plan and SLAMS Grey to the ground.
(da da dOOoon)To be continued.
Gets me wondering what that outer era really was and how come Virgil wasn't able to reach them?
