Ben is furious when he learns that Michael gave away Hunter's bed to Justin. Prowling the streets at night looking for the teen, Ben learns from a young hustler that Hunter has left Pittsburgh for "someplace warm". Later, Hunter sends a brief email saying that he is okay. The Gay & Lesbian Center's campaign against the antigay Proposition 14 kicks into high gear on multiple fronts: telephone outreach, pamphlets and signs, as well as on-site protests. One protest occurs at Taylor Electronics, the company owned by Justin's father, Craig (recurring guest star John Furey), a major supporter of the politically conservative initiative. When Justin refuses to leave the premises, his father orders police to arrest him. Justin's mother bails him out of jail and, after learning that Craig told Justin that he was responsible for the breakdown of his parents' marriage, reassures her son that she and his father were already having problems before Justin announced his homosexuality. Emmett's stalker turns out to be football player Drew Boyd (recurring guest star Matt Battaglia), who has been telephoning Emmett and hanging up due to his fears of wiretaps. He tells Emmett that a sex partner covertly filmed an encounter and is blackmailing the sports star. Drew had already paid $100,000 to the person, but then he wanted more. When Drew confessed all to his wife, she left him. Some of the revealing photos hit the tabloids, outing him as a gay man, and Drew plans to sue, claiming the photos are fakes. Emmett encourages him to come out of the closet once and for all, but Drew remains conflicted. Meanwhile, Michael goes to extremes - to Puerto Vallarta and back in one day! - to win the contest with Brandon. When he succeeds in besting Brandon, Brian does not claim his prize - sex with Brandon. Brian allows Brandon to return to Babylon as a patron. Melanie and Lindsay try an in-house separation. They share the same house, but not the same bed. Lindsay's hopes for reconciliation are dashed when she discovers Melanie kissing another woman on the doorstep to the house. (Warner Bros. UK)
