Oh wow. I am sure none of you are surprised after yesterday's chapter that there was a 20 day record in traffic on the Laramie Saga website yesterday! Quite unusual for a Friday, too.
spoilers...!
I got a mailbox full of wonderful LJ comments and you guys I think understand my characters better than I do! And got it exactly right - Ennis in his rush to a) go get his clothes and b) go punch Wayne - completely lost track of his obligation to unlock the handcuffs. And Ellery, having spent a very frustrating several minutes trying to get the key to unlock himself, completely lost his temper and aimed it at the source of the interruption. And there was a very very insightful comment about the tension between Ellery and Dupree due to Ellery's failure to understand or appreciate Dupree's "gay friendly" orientation, making Ellery disposed to being a lot less patient with Dupree than he was before he was confronted with it.

I am wondering HOW exactly Ennis is going to explain leaving Ellery cuffed---and how he is going to apologize for it. I also think that is most of the reason Ellery unloaded on Dupree---I think all that worry/fright adrenaline of possibly getting caught literally with his pants down, and no way to be able to pull them up--got him going, and Dupree got what he would have given Ennis--considering Ennis told him he would never leave him trussed up again like that due to interuptions. sex play like they are doing requires trust, and Ennis is not living up to his end of the bargain. I would hate to see Ellery not want to play anymore cause he can't trust Ennis to stay there and take care of him first.
Dupree may have been wrong to come over after Ellery told him about the romantic moment--but I think Ellery being nasty was mostly left over fright response. Hope he got it out of his system and will be able to talk about it without yelling too much at Ennis.

I agree with Ranchgal. Ennis has to realize that is dangerous to leave someone tied up to a bed naked, especially a police officer. He should at least leave the keys to the cuffs at reaching distance. IMO he has no excuse whatsoever for what he's done even if it wasn't on purpose. I'd be very mad at him too.

I agree that Ennis was in the wrong to leave the room while Ellery was still shackled - especially since Ellery had asked him to promise never to do that the last time it happened. I think that Ellery's anxiety has to do with feeling abandoned in a helpless state rather than fear that he would be intruded upon.
After all nobody is going to barge into a house and then uninvited open a closed bedroom door and walk in - especially with Ennis standing in the way!
