Season 1, Episode 3, Aired
EDIT

Episode Summary

While still not ready to tell his parents he's gay, Alex tries to meet an attractive man he saw on the club, even though all his friends keep telling him it'll never happen. When he finally gets a date with the guy (after joining the gym just so he could talk to him), Al's looks are ruined by Sasha's fight with Chris (who was only with her for sex). He tries to borrow some of Jamie's clothes, but Jamie is too busy with a girl on the internet. So Al has to go to Dan's house looking like crap, and Dan takes care of him. Al lies about his age, following Sooz's advice that the age difference would ruin it. Dan tells Alex he's a cop.moreless

      • Alex tells Dan his number, ending with 2341, but when Dan repeats it back to him, he shows he's learnt it wrong, ending in 2431. However, Dan still manages to call Alex. Edit

      • Sooz: (to Alex about Dan) How can you be in love with someone you've never met? Edit
      • Alex: (to God, asking for his help on getting him fixed up with Dan) I know I don't really believe in you, but, it's like no one else will listen. Thing is, if you grant me this one, tiny miracle... Then I promise I'll go to Sunday service. Edit
