Why this must be read: Fraser gets hit on the head and wakes up with amnesia. He thinks it's two years ago and has no idea who this guy with weird hair is, or why he's pretending to be Ray Vecchio. Which is horrible, but nothing compared to how horrible it is when he wakes up the next day wondering exactly the same thing. Dess does a great job with Fraser, keeping him in character and struggling to grow each day. Her Kowalski is absolute perfection as the guy who's been kind of in love with his best friend for ages, the guy who spends every evening convincing Fraser they switch off taking the bed and it's Fraser's turn tonight, the guy who wakes up every morning to have his heart ripped out when Fraser looks at him like a stranger. Here's a tiny excerpt to show you how great RayK's voice is - and how big his heart is - in this:

My partner. God, this must suck for him. Every day was like he'd traveled forward in time to a life he didn't even recognize. All he wanted was to see his good friend Ray Vecchio.

And all I had to offer him was me.
