On Liberty Avenue, Debbie tries hard to sign up new gay voters to defeat antigay Police Chief Jim Stockwell (recurring guest star David GianoPoulos), who's running for mayor. Brian wins the chief's campaign as an advertising account, telling the candidate that he needs to find an issue to make the second-place contender "pop" in the minds of the voters. Stockwell agrees to introduce Brian to some of his rich and powerful friends if the chief triumphs. After some teenage Babylon patrons die from drugs, Stockwell tells Brian he's found his issue. Although Ethan loses the Heifetz competition, a talent agent offers to represent him, but only if he leaves Justin and his gay identity behind. Ethan refuses at first, but Brian tells him that there's nothing noble about being poor and suggests that Ethan find a way to make the situation work. Ted and Emmett cannot agree on a house to purchase. Ted likes a new, modern house, while Emmett falls in love with a charming older house that needs many repairs. They argue back and forth until a frustrated Emmett tells Ted to make the decision. Ted surprises Emmett by buying the fixer-upper. After suffering much anxiety and guilt over his failure to produce sperm to father Melanie and Lindsay's second child, Michael finally succeeds. Steroids are making Ben extremely short-tempered. Michael finally catches Ben injecting steroids. (Warner Bros. UK)
