Back in Business (S05E02)

Michael hires a lawyer to fight for custody of baby Jenny Rebecca. Melanie and Lindsay are incensed, and so is Debbie when Michael harshly criticizes the idea of two single mothers raising his daughter. After all, Debbie was a single mother when she raised Michael. Debbie tells Melanie that a baby belongs with its mother, and Melanie takes this to mean that Debbie is on her side against Michael. But the only side Debbie is on, she clarifies, is her granddaughter's. Brian reopens Babylon...but with only a dozen patrons in attendance. Everyone else is at the new hot spot, Popperz, where it's Shots and Shorts night. Emmett plans the wedding of Don Magruder (recurring guest star John Kapelos), the producer of the Channel Five six o'clock news, and his twice-divorced finicky fiancée, Lila (Kathtyn Greenwood). Emmett's quick thinking and resourcefulness save the nuptials from catastrophe after the bride spills red wine on her eggshell silk blouse. Later, Magruder offers Emmett a job on the news team, doing a weekly segment as Channel Five's new "Queer Guy". Ted gets himself a makeover, with a new blond hairdo and a young-looking "street" wardrobe. But it's not enough. Still feeling fat and old, he makes an appointment with a plastic surgeon. Meanwhile, Justin returns to Pittsburgh from Hollywood. He and Brian have sex immediately, and Brian lets Justin move back into the loft. (Warner Bros. UK)
