Life for Malcolm is already complicated enough as it is without his mother insisting that he bring a date to her New Year's Eve gala. It's a welcome distraction when Dani invites him over for the first night of Hanukkah, but the night just leads to even more questions about Dani herself.
Hey all, I can’t believe this has been over 4 years in the making but this fic is finally completed and I am so excited to share it with you!
@theonlinemuse has been such a wonderful co-writer, definitely check out some of her other work if you get the chance!

Jessica: He's your son too!
Martin: [Scoffs] Sadly yes.
Jessica: [About Malcolm] That's my boy!

Jessica: Sadly yes.

Malcolm: When I was a kid, my grandpa took me horseback riding, and I fell off the horse-
Dani: And your grandpa made you get right back on, I get it Bright.
Malcolm: No, the horse stomped on my ribs a bit and then kicked me in the head...
Malcolm: Twice.

Jessica: [Walking down the stairs] Okay, I’m ready. How do I look?
Gil: [Impatient] Fine. Now, let’s go.
Jessica: Fine? I need gorgeous. [Goes back upstairs] I’m changing.
Gil: No, wait, I-I meant gorgeous! [Distraught] Why didn’t I say gorgeous? Why? …Why? [Cries]

Jessica: [Gasps dramatically] You dyed your grey streak!? What the hell is wrong with you!?
Gil: I happen to like it! I think it takes ten years off.
Jessica: That was my grey streak! I caused it, and it was mine to remove!

Gil: I'd take a bullet for you, you know that. Right between the eyes. I would slit my throat rather than say something to someone that you didn't want me to say!
Malcolm: That's not necessary, Gil. But that is comforting.

Malcolm: Oh my God. I'm my mother. I've been trying so hard not to become my father, I did not see this coming.

Malcolm: Date of birth?
JT: October 15th, 1967.
Malcolm: Age?
JT: Can't you figure that out based on the suspect's date of birth?
Malcolm: I'm a profiler, JT, not a mathematician.

Malcolm: All right. I'll tell you what. When we're 40, if neither one of us are married, what do you say you and I get together and have one?
Dani: Why won't I be married when I'm 40?
Malcolm: Oh, no, no. I just meant hypothetically.
Dani: Ok, hypothetically, why won't I be married when I'm 40?
Malcolm: No, no, no...
Dani: No, what is it? Is there something fundamentally unmarriable about me?
Malcolm: Uh...
Dani: Well?
Malcolm: Dear God! This... this parachute is a knapsack! [Throws himself over the back of the chair he was sitting]

JT: [Seeing Malcolm and Dani talking] Oh, my God, are they flirting?
Edrisa: Oh, they're way past flirting. I caught them making out after a case.
JT: Are you sure she wasn't trying to breathe life back into him?
Edrisa: I don't think so. When I used that much tongue at CPR training, I had to buy the dummy.

You know, that makes a lot of sense...
With how vague they are with the timeline, you'd think they were Once Upon A Time writers lol
HOLD ON
I think in 2x13, Martin mentioned how Malcolm should let go of what happened because it had been almost 25 years but at the start of Season 1, it had only 20 years since Martin's arrest.
Now, we also know that the pandemic happened in the show too and I just assumed the writers just "shortened it" but now I'm thinking that they probably skipped ahead a couple years.
If that's the case, does that mean that timeline wise, Season 2 would be happening... now? Like 2024?

Malcolm: [Drunk] Gil! Gil! Don't leave me alone with the leprechaun! I think he and the monkey are planning something!
Gil: [To Dani] I've never seen him like this.
Dani: I have. But there's a bit of cocaine involved.

Was a FREAKING hallucination?? I was so ready. "Oh, look! I know it was cancelled but this happens early in season 2! Plenty of Brightwell content!" But NO.

Ainsley: Malcolm won’t be able to trace this back to us-
Martin: Are you for real? He traces everything back to us! He traces things we haven't even done back to us!

[Malcolm and Dani kiss]
Ainsley: What the actual [Beep]!
[Malcolm and Dani jump apart]
Ainsley: Oh, you sick, sick bastards...
Dani: Listen, Ainsley-
Ainsley: This is incest!
Malcolm: No, it's not!
Ainsley: Yes, it is, Malcolm!
Malcolm: [Points to Dani] We're not related.
Ainsley: Oh, and that makes it okay, I suppose?
Malcolm: Well, it makes it not incest.
