Richard, an old friend comes to visit Ellen. He also brings his assistant, Susan. Ellen and Susan hit it off very well. After Richard tells Ellen he thinks they’d be great as something more, Ellen leaves, and goes to talk with Susan. Susan tells Ellen that she is gay, and that she thought Ellen was too. Ellen becomes very offended and caught very off guard, so she leaves and goes back to Richard’s room, to prove that she is not gay. She gets all over him, but later does not do anything and apologizes to him. The next day, at the bookstore, she tells her friends all about the night before and the great "man-woman sex" she and Richard had. The gang is very surprised and happy for her, that she has found someone. Then Ellen goes to the airport to say goodbye to Susan. Ellen can’t say the word, but finally manages to tell Susan that she was right, and that she is in fact gay, but she says this over a microphone to the whole airport. To make matters worse, she learns that just Richard is heading back, and that Susan is not leaving for a few more days.
