Season 1, Episode 14, Aired 2/8/01

Episode Summary

Everyone tries to cheer up Alex as he's depressed over Dan, but nothing seems to work. Nonetheless, the group plan a surprise party for his 18th Birthday at the H20 club. Jamie calls Dan asking him to show up. Dan is doubtful at first and asks if Al is seeing anyone and Jamie assures him he's not. But Jamie didn't count on Alex meeting a guy playing darts. At the party, Alex is ecstatic to see that his beloved Dan is there, and Jamie desperately tries to keep Jeff away from Al. He even comes on to Jeff, who is shocked to learn that Alex is gay. He tells him that he only wanted to play darts and that his boyfriend came on to him, and Dan thinks Alex is lying again. Alex tells Jamie that he actually bought Jeff to set him up with Sooz. Meanwhile Sooz is busy getting drunk to deal with her depression over Rob, and Rob is worried she'll spill the beans over their kiss to Sooz. Dan almost leaves, but stops when Chris confronts him over some money he owes. Dan offers to help Alex, and Alex accepts, even though Dan only wants to be friends with him.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Alex meets Jeff playing darts, and fancies him; then brings him around to Sooz's house to set them up, when he and Sooz are meant to be having a night in? That doesn't seem right, especially as it's Alex's 18th Birthday. Edit

ADD QUOTES
- Jamie: (thinking Jeff and Al had sex) So, you and Al hit it off last night then? Jeff: (talking about darts) Yeah, his wrist action's a bit dodgy though. Need's a bit more omfph. His aim's really good, but that's no use if the bloody thing keeps popping out. Edit
- Sooz: Well I think they're past the 'What Star Sign' stage if you know what I mean? Edit
- Alex: Alright Sooz, this is Jeff. We met over a few beers last night. Jeff: And what a night it was too. Could hardly walk this morning. Alex: Yeah, it was a real session. (Sooz gives a digusted and disturbed look) Edit
