Summary

Riley has been hiding his feelings for a long time, but he's not sure he wants to anymore. A cute new friend tempts him to try dating. Meanwhile, K.C. and Clare try studying together—as friends.

Main Plot

Riley meets openly gay, Zane Park, and wonders if his privacy is worth losing Zane. After yoga class, Riley comes out to Anya. Zane asks Riley to hang out at The Dot, but Riley’s anxiety gets the best of him and he asks if they can go somewhere else, so they sneak into an abandoned construction site. Zane questions Riley about why they came there, and when Zane invites Riley to the LGBT mixer, it’s still obvious Riley isn’t ready, so he declines. But of course he ends up going anyway (it’s being held at Peter’s club, Above The Dot). The extreme anxiety Riley has when he tells Peter that he could only get halfway up the stairs, but was too scared to actually walk into the mixer. Also, the moment when dancing with Zane that Riley finally loosens up. Then when Zane gets in the taxi Riley pulls him out and they kiss, starting their relationship.

Subplot

Clare volunteers to tutor K.C. in math, with no strings attached, but things turn sour when Jenna suggests K.C. slack off on studying and consider cheating off of Clare. K.C. is failing math, so what does Clare do? She decides to take it upon herself to tutor him. She obviously still has feelings for him, and at the same time Jenna thinks it’s a good idea for KC to use Clare to get a good grade. K.C. messes up for two reasons: 1) Trying to guilt Clare after she initially didn’t want to help him cheat, and 2) Blaming Jenna as being the reason things in his life have fallen apart since he and Clare broke up. Clare does the one thing we’ve been waiting for so long, which is stand up for herself and tell both Jenna and K.C. off.
