Queer as folk (2003) #4

Claire, Brian's sister, turns up at her brother's office to drop her spoiled and homophobic son John, a minor. Brian must look after him for a few hours, but the boy will give him a hard time.

Melanie and Lindsey eventually choose Michael as the biological father for their baby. The guy is completely taken aback and rather scared but Ben encourages him to go ahead and accept this amazing gift. However, he is supposed to sign an agreement that clearly states he will have to be nothing more than a sperm donor, with no rights as a father. Mickey snaps and wants to refuse. Surprisingly, Mel anie and Lindsey will change the conditions of the agreement so that everyone can be satisfied.

Being in perfect shape is a real obsession for Ben. This means becoming rather unsociable and quick-tempered as well as neglecting his boyfriend, who is kept in the dark about his abuse of steroids.

Ted asks Emmett to move into his flat with him but their opposite lifestyles make them have second thoughts about it. Surprisingly, Ted will suggest an alternative solution: how about buying a new house for themselves, a place that has nothing to do with Ted's past life as a single man?

While Brian is having a shower, John noses around in the loft. He tries to steal money and personal belongings, but his uncle catches him. A few hours later Brian will have to face a police officer as a consequence of his nephew's accusations of molesting him.

Nobody believe s the boy though. They all know about Brian's intense sexual life, but don't have a single doubt about his being innocent in this matter. Carl, thanks to Debbie's strong request, will investigate the case.

Brian barges into Claire's house. She should have talked to him in the first place rather than sentence him without a second thought. At his sister's he finds his mother too, full of hatred and disgust for her son and his lifestyle. Brian is extremely hurt and yells at her.

Justin eventually manages to prove Brian's innocence by finding out that John has stolen his bracelet. Then, he pops in at the loft to give the object back to its owner.
