Episode Teleplay by: Efrem SeegerStory by: Ron Cowen & Daniel Lipman & Efrem Seeger Directed by: Alex Chapple Having slept with the cop who killed Jason Kemp, Hunter presents Brian with the cop's name (Kenneth Rikert) and a condom full of semen for a DNA test. Horvath, who reveals to Brian that Rikert was Stockwell's partner before retiring from the force, has the semen tested - it matches the sample from Jason's autopsy. Despite his promise to reopen the case, however, he refuses to act. As he explains to Debbie later, he's too close to retirement to risk losing everything by incriminating cops. Michael and Ben are furious with Hunter for picking up Rikert and endangering his own life. Ben, at long last, concedes to Michael that they're simply not getting through to the boy, so they should just ask him to go. Hunter overhears their discussion. Despite Ted's pleas, Emmett refuses to do crystal with him again, but now he can't keep up with Ted's accompanying sexual appetite. He does grant one (rudely made) demand-to throw a party for Ted and six of his "new" friends. On the night of the event, the men arrive at the apartment to an exquisite feast, only to ignore it, remove their clothes, and get to the drugs. They don't even notice when Emmett leaves. The dean of PIFA is furious with Justin for making the anti-Stockwell posters and insists that he apologize to the Disciplinary Committee or face suspension. He's convinced to do it by Brian, not for the committee's sake but for his own. But when the committee demands he apologize to both Gardner Vance and Stockwell, he's simply unable to abandon his principles. The committee suspends him. Before Michael and Ben are able to ask Hunter to leave, they find that he's risen early, combed his hair, washed the dishes, and declared his intention to go back to school. It seems they've finally gotten through to him after all. There are other surprises in store when they take him to register at school and he's forced to reveal his real name (James Hunter Montgomery), and his birthday (the previous Tuesday). Michael and Ben throw him a belated surprise party, where he meets the rest of his Liberty Avenue family. Emmett makes the decision to confront Ted once and for all about his drug use. He shows up at the apartment to find it completely wrecked, the partiers leaving, and his food burnt and untouched. To make things worse, Ted berates him for being rude and embarrassing him in front of his guests. He has no intention of quitting crystal, and, the relationship now over, he kicks Emmett out of the apartment. Melanie and Lindsay offer Emmett a bed at their house until he finds a new place. Soon after confronting Rikert with his evidence, Brian is invited to Stockwell's office. The candidate offers him a job on his campaign once again, along with all the perks that come with it. When Brian directs Horvath's attention to Stockwell's "serendipitous" timing, Horvath reveals that Rikert has killed himself - just before he was about to bring him in for questioning. And without Rikert, it seems that the mayoral race is decided. Stockwell will be elected. Source: Showcase.ca |
