Aaron and Julio finally agree to have their first date. Meanwhile, Cassie and Malcolm get more serious and Jordan gets a new creative spark.
- Was that weird?
- Was what weird?
- You know, the, the, the Papi.
- Oh, the Papi thing.
No, I don't mind.
- You sure?
- Yeah, it's fine.
- Okay, good.
Well, bye!
- Oh, wait, where are you going?
- Oh, I'm leaving before
you can kick me out.
- I wasn't going to...
- Yes?
- I was going to ask...
- Yes?
- Aaron, do you wanna go out sometime?
- Like a date?
- Yes.
- Like, like in public, right?
- Yes.
- Okay, good! I- I was getting
worried you thought I was
I don't know, ugly or stupid.
- I don't care about that.
- Wow.
- So...
is that a yes?
- Sure.
What- what- what changed?
- What do you mean?
- Like what made you take me seriously?
- What makes you think I take you serious?
- Okay. Come on.
- Well, this morning I woke up
and I saw you were next to me
and I thought of you making
breakfast and getting ready,
and I imagined myself just watching you,
and I thought doesn't seem too bad.
You've been there for a while now.
Just running laps in my head.
- You are very nice.
- So...
tomorrow night at 8:00 PM,
I'll pick you up.
We'll go on a real date.
But tonight you're still going home.
(City din)
- Oh, fuck, yes!

- What about this?
- Very masc.
- You're right.
- Remember, no sex on the first date.
- But we've only had sex.
- Rules are rules.
- I don't know if that
applies in this situation.
- It applies in every situation.
- What are you doing tonight?
- Malcolm wants to go
out to dinner, I guess.
- What's the occasion?
- I'm not sure, he put his
last payment down on a suit.
So...
maybe that?
- Think we could double this
and offset them at the same time?
Is everything okay?
- Yeah. Sorry.
What?
- Yeah. I was saying that...
Could we double the sound
and offset at the same time?
- Hold on, hold on, hold on,
one sec, one sec, one sec.
- Yeah, sure.
- Hey.
Yeah, I'm scheduled to
be here 'til 6:00 PM.
Can you make the reservations
for 7:00 PM at least? Please.
Okay. Thank you.
Yeah. Love you.
Bye. Sorry.
- No, it's all good.
- Yeah.
- Yeah. I was saying
so if we take one track
and had it go from low to high
and while the other
one's going high to low,
I wanna know, I'm curious
what that would sound like
while both of those
notes are transitioning.
- Sounds like that.
(Lively brass music)
(Speaking Spanish)
- No.
- Okay.
(Water splashing)
(Upbeat guitar music)
(Phone chime)
- Hola!
- Buenas noches.
- Okay.
- Aaron.
- What?
- Where are you going?
- You said good night.
- Just get in the- get in the car.
Are you ready?
- What are we gonna do?
- Oh, you can't possibly
begin to understand how good
of a night that you're about to have.
- But what?
- Like the best date you've ever been on.
- What?
- The most fun you'll ever have.
- What?
- The greatest-
- Mhmm. Oh, okay.
Yeah. Thank you.
So...
the tow truck is on the way.
- That's fine. I wasn't
really even that hungry.
It is pretty cold out here.
- The car's warm.
- I mean, if you- if you
want to go in the car
we can go in the car.
- Let's go in the car.
- Malcolm?
Malcolm?
Malcolm?
Malcolm!
What's wrong?
- Nothing. Nothing, just a little tense.
- Why?
- It's our seven week
anniversary, it's special.
- Oh, that's the occasion.
- I got you something.
- Oh, what for?
- Just... for being you.
Go on, go on, open it.
- Oh!
Thank you... Malcolm...
- That's not all! Press the button.
- Just confident, it's not rocket science.
Oh, fuck, is this recording?
(clears throat)
Cassie...
You are the most wonderful
person I've ever met,
and I just wanted to tell you this
in the most romantic way I could think of.
I love you,
and I wanted to ask you if you
wanted to be my girlfriend.
(Mechanical sounds)
(Restaurant chatter)
- So...?
- Yes.
- Oh, thank God, I
almost bought you a gun.
- What?
- Sounds good, man. Sounds really good.
- Why are you surprised?
- You're right. I shouldn't
be, it means something to you.
It's not just taking up space.
- You're leaving? We're on a roll.
- Yeah, actually it's my
birthday and my girlfriend
got us reservations at this
cool little Peruvian joint, so.
- It's your birthday.
You didn't say anything, happy birthday.
- Just another day, thanks though.
You gonna stick around?
- Yeah, for a bit.
- Cool.
Night, Jordan.
- Night, Brady.
(Melancholy strumming)
- I know you asked for a bloody Mary,
but I thought hot chocolate
would be a cozier option.
- That works too.
- Did you choose something?
- Not yet.
You try.
(Lilting guitar music)
- What's wrong?
Is there something in my face?
- No, nothing. Just staring.
It's weird how normal this feels.
- What does?
- Being with you.
I just never thought I'd end up
with a white, cisgendered straight man.
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
This feels right.
- You're the nicest person
I've ever met, Cassie.
Fucking shit, they don't have
any of my favorite movies.
- What are your favorite movies?
- Robocop, Short Circuit, and Chappie.
Ooh. Do you wanna watch Ghost Hunters?
- Sure.
- You know, my apartment's haunted.
- I'm really sorry about this.
- Oh, to be honest, it's kind of a relief,
I was pretty stressed out about this.
- This, the date?
- Yeah.
- Why?
- I don't know.
I want you to like me.
- You barely know me.
- But I- but I wanna know you.
- Okay. Well you got...
30 minutes
until the tow truck gets here.
Get to know me.
- Okay.
Well, I don't even know your last name.
- Castillo.
Julio Luis Castillo.
- Castillo. It's a nice ring.
- What else?
- Where did you grow up?
- I was born in Mexico city
moved to Boyle Heights when I was 16,
and I've been here ever since.
- Have you ever gone back?
- Okay. Ooh, important question.
What is your favorite horror movie?
- Interview with a vampire?
Anything gay, really.
How... how was your last relationship?
- Oh!
Well, I think it was...
depressing.
I just really thought
it was gonna work out.
- Yeah, they all feel
like that at some point.
- What about yours?
- My last relationship?
It was, yeah, it was nice.
After a while, my idea of who I should be
and his idea of who I should be became
more and more different.
- How so?
- Well, I still remember the night that
it really clicked for me.
He fixed my hair.
I put on this little sweater vest
and we went to buy this bottle of wine,
and then we went to his
friend's house and we were
the only gay couple, but that's okay.
That wasn't the weird thing.
The weird thing was the way it all felt...
scripted,
you know, offering someone
a refill of wine and
the hand on chest response
of "I couldn't possibly."
Everyone talking about finance and
about walking their mountainous
dogs in West Hollywood
or Echo Park...
and I remember I just
looked around and thought
I can't do this.
I can't be at this table,
and pretend that everyone's
politics are neutral,
and I can't pretend that the most
important conversation
that this table of people
can be having is about how
great the Tuscan kale salad is
at the new bistro on
fucking Fairfax, it's...
- So you, you thought the expectations
of you were too high?
- No, the expectations of me were too low.
I wanna be around people with opinions,
who aren't afraid of disagreeing.
I saw myself assimilating to
this world that I thought was
Well... boring.
- So you broke up with him.
- I did.
- Was he sad?
- Yeah, but you know, it was for the best.
Still, he blocked me on everything
and I got drunk one night and
checked his Instagram
through my friend's phone.
- Oh yeah, as one does.
- And he seemed good.
I think he's dating someone new,
and I should have been jealous.
I should have, but I wasn't.
I wasn't...
Because...
he seemed...
really genuinely happy.
- You're a good person.
- I'm a toxic motherfucker.
- I don't mind.
- I'll gaslight you.
- Mm.
- I'll ignore your needs.
- Mm!
- I'll emotionally manipulate you.
- Ooh, stop, stop. That's...
that's enough. I get it.
You're the... the perfect man.
- You got anything else for me?
- Okay. Favorite writer?
- Capote.
- Which book?
- Probably The Grass Harp.
There's a quote that
I've always remembered.
A person to whom everything can be said,
am I an idiot to want such a thing?
But ah, the energy we spend hiding
from one another, afraid as
we are of being identified.
But here we are: identified.
- It's uh... It's really cold in here.
- Having fun?
- I've had worse dates.
- Oh yeah? Still considering this a date?
- It's not...
not.
- You're so warm.
- How do you say partner in Spanish?
- Pareja.
- What about boyfriend?
- Novio.
- Lover?
- Amante.
- Amante.
