The Gay and Lesbian Center — Mel, Justin, and a woman named Corinne are making calls about Proposition 14. Corinne seems to be talking to a complete homophobe -- "No sir, I'm not a cocksucker. I'm a lesbian... Yes sir, I'll be sure to remember that as they stuff me into the oven." Mel and I both giggle. That Corinne is kinda feisty and foxy.

Ben brings around a list of supporters of Prop 14. Justin's dad is on the list. Fun.

A nighttime stroll — Emmett is walking along, muttering to himself about his stalker, trying to convince himself there's nothing to be concerned about. Suddenly someone grabs him — it's Drew, that hunky football player who insisted he isn't really gay. Oh, come on — this is the last season. You couldn't write a new storyline for Em instead of recycling one?

They talk in Drew's big scary Hummer. It seems that Drew and his wife are getting a divorce — already. It gets better: Drew fucked one of his fans, and the guy took pictures and is now threatening to go to the tabloids. Ah, good old extortion: nice work if you can get it.

Drew asks Em for advice, but Em has already expressed his opinion on this matter. Em says he knows that Drew felt something for him.

Emmett: "If you can't be honest with me, that's fine — it doesn't matter. But at least be honest with yourself."

Also? Get some acting lessons.

The Center — Mel and Corinne are chatting about homophobic Americans, including President Bush. I didn't say it; they did! Oh, who am I kidding? My FBI file must be several phone books thick by now.

Corinne asks Mel if she'd like to get some dinner the next time they're both on the phones. Mel hems and haws and is clutzy and nervous and cute. She finally agrees. Do it, Mel! Corinne's kinda hot, because funny is sexy.

Ben and Michael's house — Ben is standing in Hunter's room, smoking and freaking out because Michael has loaned Hunter's bed to Justin. Michael actually stands his ground for once. Who knew there was a spine in there somewhere?

Woody's — Hot New Guy and Brian are discussing their conquests. It seems Brian's last fuck-ee is about to leave for Puerto Vallata. Oh, like that'll stop Brian. Hot New Guy has a lot to learn.

Justin's dad's store — Mr. Taylor says Justin is an abomination and a disgrace and is the reason Mr. and Mrs. Taylor broke up. Oh, Justin, why do you even try? We all could have told you that would happen.

The park — Ted and Em are chatting about Drew. Ted looks vaguely Beatle-ish, which is confusing. He's also being rather wise; he reminds Em that it's hard for Drew because he's not obviously gay — you know, like the fabulous Emmett. Ted tells a coming out story about his frat days, and I find it hard to believe that he and Em have been friends all this time and somehow never talked about this before. Oh, but that wouldn't help the plot along, would it? Silly me.

A plane — Brian and Number 10 join the Mile High Club. Ta-da! We have a winner.

Ben and Michael's house — Michael tells Deb that he and Ben have been fighting a lot. Deb asks if they're having sex, and Michael freaks out. Deb gets all serious and mom-like and reminds Michael that every parent has to give up control at some point.

Michael insists that Hunter's never coming back, which is how we know that someday he will. Probably around... hmm, I dunno, the last episode?

The seedy side of town — Ben is looking for Hunter. He finds another kid who says Hunter left town and is never coming back. Again, more evidence to the contrary.

Beyond awkward — Corinne and Mel have had a lovely dinner and are giggling and flirting. They stop and kiss on Mel's doorstep. Well, at first Mel hesitates, but then she grabs Corinne and really plants one on her — nicely done, Ms. Marcus! And of course the door flings open — it's Lindsay, taking out the trash.

So, you've talked about sharing chores and child care and the kitchen and blah blah blah, but you somehow forgot to discuss what will happen when one of you goes on a date? I take it back — you're not "so gay." You're so, so dim.

The diner — Brian is back from his less-than-24-hour round trip to Puerto Vallarta. He brags a bit to Emmett, who's happy to play along.

A couple of random guys come in with a tabloid — yeah Drew's the front page news.

Justin's dad's store — Justin, Deb, Michael, and Ben are protesting outside Mr. Taylor's store. A cop shows up. Deb says "My husband — 'cept I'm not married because my gay son can't get married — happens to be Detective Carl Horvath." The cop says he's heard of Carl, and he's also heard of Deb. Oops. So they move the protest across the street — all except for Justin. Mr. Taylor tries to stare down his son, but Justin's standing firm. Mr. Taylor finally tells the cop to arrest Justin. Wow, how did sensitive, kind Justin come from that?
