Move and Leave (S05E01)

Melanie (series star Michelle Clunie) and Lindsay's (series star Thea Gill) decision to keep their separation a secret from Michael (series star Hal Sparks) and the rest of the gang explodes when they throw the lesbian couple a surprise 10th anniversary party. Lindsay finally admits the truth, infuriating Michael, who feels betrayed. Noise and cramped quarters at their apartment building trigger Ben's (series star Robert Gant) suggestion to Michael that they buy a house and move away with their ward, Hunter (recurring guest star Harris Allan), from Liberty Avenue's nonstop party atmosphere. Michael's stubborn refusal to even consider moving changes after Melanie and Lindsay's revelation. Ted (series star Scott Lowell) informs boss Brian (series star Gale Harold) that Kinnetik has had a very profitable first year. Brian invests the profits in Babylon, buying the nightclub after its closure due to tax fraud committed by the previous owner. Debbie (series star Sharon Gless) asks Detective Carl Horvath (recurring guest star Peter MacNeill) to move into her house, he agrees. When Debbie and Carl walk in on Emmett in the middle of a sexual interlude, Emmett assumes that he will have to move out, despite Debbie's plea for him to stay. But when Carl asks Emmett to continue to live in the house, Emmett agrees. Meanwhile, Justin (series star Randy Harrison), who had stayed longer in Hollywood than originally expected, suddenly finds himself unemployed when the studio pulls the plug on the over-budget, over-schedule Rage: The Movie. And Ted, who had gleefully put on a lot of excess weight, experiences a horrifying reality check. (Warner Bros. UK)
