In this episode Kirshner meets Lombard's girlfriend for the first time, and Daniels comes out to her parents.

Actresses:
Heather McEwen & Devon Casagrande


A flashback of two girls at a stable. McEwen is sad because she won't be seeing her friend, Casagrande, during the summer. Casagrande is in the process of changing, she has her shirt off, but her bra on. McEwen tells her she will miss her and hugs her. They hug for a moment until McEwen leans back slightly and begins to kiss her on the neck, soon after she places her hand on Casagrande's breast. Casagrande backs away, though it looked like she was enjoying the attention at the time she is now upset. McEwen is obviously bewildered by what just happened, and tells her friend she did it because it felt right. Casagrande tells her something along the lines of 'just because it feels right doesn't mean you act on it' (not a precise quote).

Actresses:
Karina Lombard & Lolita Davidovich


Kirshner sees Lombard and her girlfriend, Davidovich together for the first time. They embrace and kiss. The scene is very brief.

What stuck out most in this episode was the flashback at the beginning. The look on McEwen's face at her friend's rejection is very sad. This scene connects later when we learn who that girl was. Overall the episode was, as usual, very good.
