Deb's house — Deb needs to pick up a lasagna pan and some pantyhose; she's living with Carl now and doesn't quite have all the comforts of home.

Carl says they might as well live at Deb's, with all the stuff she's been hauling over to his house. Deb admits that she'd rather be at her house — even though at first she thought it would be full of sad memories. What? Oh, right: Vic. I'd already forgotten.

Deb: "I want to come home."
Carl: "Honey... it's like I said from the start. It's up to you. Wherever you are is home to me."

Aww. Carl, you're a sweetie.

But Carl's not so thrilled by what's waiting for him inside the house: Emmett is screaming "fuck me like you mean it!" and the other guy certainly seems to mean it.

Deb: [with a little grin] "Welcome home."

Deb, you still rock.

Another quiet homefront — Ben and Michael's neighbors are having a loud sexy party — "fags packed to the rafters," says Michael. And guess who wandered over? Hunter, of course.

Hunter: "Hey, I was just trying to be neighborly. And maybe cop a little weed."

Heh.

Ben and Michael chat about Mel and Linds; Michael thinks they seemed cranky, and Ben figures it's just hard to think about much of anything but diapers. Michael says maybe he and Ben should think about the anniversary stuff for them. Oh boy.

Kinnetik — Ted is devouring donuts and carrying a spare tire. He's being odd and annoying, even for Ted. But he's excited because Kinnetik has turned a tidy profit. He tells Brian to spend the money on something special, like a Ferrari or a Warhol — but why does he pronounce it war-hole? I guess his brain is kind of doughy now too.

The suburbs — Ben and Michael are visiting a gay couple who have kids named Devon and Ondine. Are you trying to maximize the taunting or something? But I guess since your names are Eli and Monty, you really didn't know any better.

The Stepford husbands talk about their fabulous queer neighborhood and real estate and kids. So, these are Ben's friends, right? Somehow I doubt they've ever been to Michael's comic book shop.

Liberty Avenue — Michael and Ben make their way home through the crowded gay streets. Ben grouses about how different their neighborhood is, compared to the perfect land of Eli, Monty, Devon, and Ondine. Michael suggests stopping at Woody's for a drink, but Ben has a lecture to prepare. Oh, Ben, you always have a lecture to prepare, even when you're not teaching.

Ben: "The apartment is too small for the three of us, and that building's like a gay dorm."
Michael: "It's not that bad."
Ben: "Well, not if you're 24 and want to fuck everything that moves, or... Brian. But we're past all that, aren't we?"
Michael: "Sure."

Yeah, Ben wants to play house. Michael's not so sure.

The gym — Emmett is checking the bulletin board for "roommate wanted" adds. He finds one that says "bottoms only need apply" and pronounces it "perfect."

Ted is munching on something as he asks how Deb and Carl reacted to Em's fuck-fest.

Emmett: "Deb wanted to watch and have a Q-and-A afterwards."
Ted: "No doubt. What about Horvath?"
Emmett: "Did you ever see 'The Blob'? Remember the look on the old farmer's face just before it devoured him?"

This would be cuter if Ted weren't being so weird... he's almost manic. It's funny how his bald spot is just in the corner of the shot though, and very close to the camera, as if there were a big red arrow pointing to it.

Em wants to know how many Power Bars Ted has eaten. Ted says he'll "burn 'em off."

Emmett: "Honey, you'd have to go up in flames."

Then Emmett gets serious and tells Ted he's getting a little "hearty." Brian shows up and says "fat."

But Ted is in denial, and a cute guy picks that moment to walk by and give Ted the eye.

Emmett: "Who knew you could catch twinkies by stuffin' 'em in your mouth?"

Snort.

Michael wonders why Brian isn't on his way to the airport. But of course Brian has cancelled his trip. Sometimes, Brian, you get kinda pouty.

More storyboards — Rage has been captured by some hateful right-wingers — he's in the catacombs of a church, "his hands bound in really hot leather restraints." Hee.

Real life — Justin's sketching as fast as he can. Brett, that producer dude, shows up to introduce the guy they've signed to play Rage — yeah, it's that guy Connor, whoever he is, from last season. He's no longer worried about people thinking he's gay; he's trying to psych them into thinking he's "gay for pay."
