Queer As Folk: 1x14

A Change of Heart

Ryder asks Brian to stay home until the harassment suit with Kip is resolved, leaving Brian feeling like he’s considered guilty until proven innocent. At “See the Light” Emmett meets Heather, a similarly struggling lesbian. Melanie agrees to defend Brian in the harassment suit. David doesn’t want Michael to get involved in Brian’s problems. Ted and Melanie are stunned when they run into Emmett and Heather, who are on a date. Michael lies to David that he needs to stay with a sick Debbie in order to get out of dinner so he can go to Brian’s and cheer him up, not realizing that David will check up on her to make sure she’s alright. David then finds Michael and Brian at Woody’s, where they are drunk and playing guitars as they relive high school memories. Justin seduces Kip, and then them tells him he’s 17 and that his father will come after him with the police unless he does something for Justin. David and Michael argue about the lying and Brian’s importance in Michael’s life.
