At the farm, Luke pours booze down the sink. Holden arrives. Luke says he feels uncomfortable and strange and asks if he can move back to Lily's house! Holden is surprised but says he is welcome at home.

Holden and Luke arrive at Lily's; Luke takes his things to his room. Lily arrives and tells Holden about her invitation. Holden says Luke moved home! Just then Luke returns from his room and Lucinda and Brian arrive! Lucinda is excited to see Luke but Luke is not happy to learn he'll be living with Brian, too. He says he should go back to the farm so things aren't so crowded but Lily won't hear of it. Luke goes outside as Holden shows Brian to their new room. Lucinda follows Luke outside and demands to know what is going on. He says he just isn't comfortable around Brian; Lucinda says he has to get over this and goes back inside. Lily asks Brian to work closely with Luke at the foundation so that he can get things back together. Lucinda thinks that is a great idea. When they are alone, Lucinda asks Brian if something has happened to make Luke act this way. Brian swears he doesn't know anything.

Luke goes to Java and asks Noah if they can talk. Noah says they will always be friends and Luke tells him about Brian coming on to him the night of his big wedding. Noah is shocked and doesn't believe Luke, who calls Brian a 'closet case'. Noah says Luke may be overreacting. Annoyed, Luke says he knows the difference between a come-on and a comforting kiss. Noah keeps defending Brian and reminds Luke that he was drunk at the time. He even says Luke may have made things worse! This only makes Luke more angry; he says he can tell Brian wants to go to bed with him just like he could tell that Noah did! He leaves.

Luke returns to Lily's and starts drinking. Brian sees him and tells him to stop. "Stay away from me, I can't have you coming on to me all the time," Luke says. Brian says he isn't coming on to him, he is trying to help him. Brian says he won't let Luke self-destruct but Luke says he can't help when he is the problem. Brian says he doesn't want to seduce Luke and that he is in love with Lucinda. Luke doesn't believe him. He asks if Lucinda knows the truth about him. Brian says he isn't hiding anything from Lucinda. Luke storms off.
