Boarding house Nick has gone back to see Micah Wheat. He explains that the Lakey’s have stepped forward and want to take the children, but that there’s a problem. Lakey won’t have a blood test. Nick asks if Lakey was one of Wheat’s sexual partners. He says that if Lakey was, and if he’s HIV+, this could wind up breaking the family apart a second time.

LSP, Nick’s office Daryl Lakey has come to see Nick and Suzanne. Nick confronts him, asking if he’s HIV+, saying that if he is they may not be able to place the kids with them. Lakey becomes irate, saying he won’t take bloodtests as that is how black men are infected by white men. When Nick says Wheat didn’t get HIV from a needle, Lakey starts yelling that he’s not homosexual.
After Lakey leaves, Nick and Suzanne discuss the placement, with Nick telling Suzanne to do what she feels is best. She says the whole matter is just so complicated.

F&F, Burton’s office Nick has come into the office, and Burton calls him in. He wants to know how the proposal went. Nick, extremely uncomfortable, lies, saying he hasn’t done it yet.

Charity Masquerade Ball Alvin is acting as MC and announces that they’ve reached the halfway mark in the fundraising.
Over at their table, we see Lulu, Nick, Jake, and Jake’s (female) date (all four are wearing goofy masks!). Lulu announces she’s not feeling well and she thinks she’ll leave. Nick offers to go with her, but she tells him to stay, as he’s promised to help with the raffle. He finally agrees, and she leaves.

A bit later, Alvin is announcing that they are now drawing for the harlequin dolls which were donated by such-and-such company, and has Riddle draw a name. As she announces it, Alvin asks Nick to get the dolls out, which should be in a box under a table behind the stage. Nick goes backstage to get it.

As he’s looking under the table, Suzanne shows up. As he sits the box on the table to make sure he has the right one, she comes over to him, takes her mask away from her face and tells him that she’s got everything set up, and she’s even pulled some strings so that the kids will be with the Lakey’s by the next weekend. Nick congratulates her, to which she replies that it was “Complicated.” She then grabs him and kisses him passionately. Nick seems surprised and a bit reluctant at first, but doesn’t fight it too much. As she pulls away, Suzanne mumbles again that it’s “Complicated,” and walks away, leaving a dumbstruck Nick trying to get the box of dolls to Alvin.

Nick’s house Nick arrives home. Lulu is curled up in bed waiting for him to return. She asks him how it went, to which he replies “Good.”<br> She announces that she’s decided she doesn’t want to have an abortion. Nick, a little relieved but still in turmoil, says good.

Lulu invites him to join her in the bed. Nick is at the closet hanging up his jacket and is reluctant to join her. She asks him again, and he comes over and sits on the edge of the bed. Lulu immediately gives him a passionate kiss, clearly feeling very friendly! She pulls him down onto the bed, lying on top of him, still kissing him deeply. As she moves to kissing his neck, we see Nick looking confusedly upward while Lulu continues her attack, erm, I mean her advances, undulating above him.
The End
No promos!

She announces that she’s decided she doesn’t want to have an abortion. Nick, a little relieved but still in turmoil, says good. Does she give the reason why she's decided not to have an abortion?

No, just that she's made her decision.

No, just that she's made her decision. Well that's kind of silly. A woman her age, who wants kids, considering an abortion is a pretty profound thing... I would've thought she'd have a profound reason why she changed her mind. Her motivations remain as mysterious as ever.

Well, iconic, she did tell Jake that this wasn't a good time for her to have a baby.

There is never a good time to have a baby.
