To elaborate on my idea from last night: Brennan introduces himself to Matt’s subs as though he’s here to support Matt with his disobedient subs (the rest of the cast). But throughout the scene, Brennan punishes the bratty subs more harshly, taking Matt’s punishments as more suggestions, and rewards the good ones by making them come until they’re overstimulated and flinching away. When Brennan goes to punish one of the brattier ones a second time for a minor infraction (let’s say Sam), Matt actually tells Brennan “No. Enough. They’re mine,” and Brennan just smiles: “Fine. You can take his place.” Everyone has to watch Brennan punish Matt, and after, Laura refuses to follow Brennan’s orders: “I don’t belong to you, and I want Matt back.” Brennan orders Matt “hold Laura down so she doesn’t hurt herself,” and Matt quietly answers “Yes sir.” Brennan gags Laura with his fingers and says “Matt’s been spoiling you all rotten. No more Mr. Nice Dom.”
