But yeah, Ethan and Justin...remember Myrna's If I Needed You? That part where Brian is saying that he thought of Justin and Ethan as two puppies playing, and when they get tired, you pick up your puppy and go home? Just like that, only we know that there was more to them (in the story) than Brian knew. But the overall sentiment is perfect for the show.
And anyway, you don't get jealous when two puppies frolic. You cock your head, think, "Aww, isn't that precious," then when they're all tuckered out, you pick your mutt up and go home.
this story is amazing on so many different levels and this line right there I declare canon, it's so what Brian was thinking whenever he saw Justin and the fiddler together, it's like he knew they'll never make it and that Ian was full of shit from the start.
And yes, that is SO canon!! Doesn't matter if it wasn't said on the show, it's what Brian was thinking after he got past the hurt. I don't think he was ever jealous. He was hurt, and angry that he'd messed up. Justin did as well, but Brian prided himself on seeing things before they happened. But with Justin, there was always that blind spot. Justin was always capable of tripping Brian up.

I just love this.
Justin was always capable of getting under Brian's defenses and I think Brian at some point(probably during season 1) realized that he just can't fight him off any longer.
The thing is, no one was really ever able to surprise Brian. He had everyone pretty well pegged. Justin was different. He sent him off with the "I don't believe in love", Justin shows up at Babylon and steals his tricks. He shows up at the loft and chases off several tricks. Brian shows up at the GLC to see Justin's art, takes him back to his parents and then takes him away from them, goes to get him in NYC...every time he says he's not going, not doing, NOT...he did. Because Justin got to him.
