Okay, on to Tuesday's episode, which picked up in the locker room just where we'd left off, with Fish listening in as Kyle chatted with the hunky gym guy. The newest gay in Llanview asked if Kyle wanted to hit the free weights with him, but Kyle had already finished working out. He suggested they get a drink together sometime and New Gay quickly gave Kyle his phone number. Fish looked decidedly troubled by all of this.
At that point, another story intruded (Stacey seems to be trying to seduce Kyle all of a sudden, which I'll know more about when I watch the rest of the show from the past two weeks, but lots of luck with that Stace!) and Kyle took off, but not before Fish asked him if everything was okay. Kyle said it was and took off with an "I'll see you around. Or not." As soon as he was alone, Fish flashed back to the kiss they shared in the alley.
Okay, Stacey and some random new character named Kim tried to start a three way with Kyle when Stacey's solo technique didn't seem to be working and he ended up telling them that he was gay. Stacey refused to believe it, saying that he'd flirted with her when they first met, and Kyle declared "My people flirt too!" It was pretty hilarious, actually, and the very first time I've ever enjoyed a scene with Stacey in it.
Later, Fish found himself in the locker room again with New Gay and he warned him that he should stay away from Kyle Lewis. New Gay wondered if Kyle and Fish were together and Fish quickly assured the guy that he wasn't gay and that Kyle has been in trouble with the law.
Oh, Fish, that was so low! I'm liking jealous Fish, I admit, but everyone already throws the blackmail thing in poor Kyle's face without Fish adding to it!
New Gay didn't seem overly concerned, though, pointing out that blackmail wasn't exactly armed robbery. I loved the fact that he started stripping at this point and Fish was going out of his way not to check out the competition! Who, by the way, looks like this (again courtesy of Superherofan):
New Gay said he'd get the details from Kyle, but Fish quickly backed off, suggesting that he not bring it up at all since Kyle is really sensitive about it, and asked that he just forget he'd mentioned it to begin with.
After they were showered and dressed, Fish overheard New Gay, whose name is Nick, getting a call from Kyle asking him out that night. Fish received a call of his own, from Stacey, since apparently he's next on her seduction list! (Okay, I had to back track a bit to find out what was happening; Stacey miscarried Rex's baby and needs to get knocked up again ASAP so she can keep her claws in Rex)
All right, finally, on to today's episode!
Layla and Cristian had both been sent to Rodi's (a local bar) by fake text messages from Stacey and her friend Kim, so that Stacey could get Fish alone in his apartment for the big seduction.
At Rodi's, Cristian began to think that Fish had set him and Layla up to get them both out of the apartment so that he could meet someone else. He suggested they head back to the apartment and Layla took umbrage at the suggestion that Oliver was cheating on her. She decided to head back to the apartment just to prove Cris wrong.
Meanwhile, Stacey was in full seduction mode on her second gay man of the evening. Fish told Stacey that he'd moved on since their one night stand last winter and Stacey, thinking of her experience with Kyle no doubt, asked if he was gay. Fish quickly denied this and told her that he had a girlfriend now.
Stacey didn't back off, of course, and Layla and Cristian walked in just in time to catch the two of them kissing. Stacey, being the bitch she is, quickly lied that Fish had called her over on a booty call and then made her exit, realizing that there was no hope for Fish to knock her up any time soon.
Fish swore to Layla that the romantic evening he'd set up had been for her and that Stacey had just shown up and thrown herself at him. Cristian wasn't buying this, but as Fish declared that he loved her and would never throw away what they have together, Layla decided to believe him.
Kyle and Nick showed up at Rodi's on their date and Kyle immediately spotted Layla and Cristian across the room in one direction, and Jared & Natalie (the two people he blackmailed) in the other direction. Nick asked if he wanted his friends to join them and Kyle quickly told him that they weren't really his friends. They had some awkward first date chat about the bar and Kyle admitted that he hadn't been on a date in a long time.
Nick was surprised to hear this, and Kyle told him about his last relationship and how it had left him a little gun shy. They began to talk a bit about the whole situation and Kyle told him that his ex is repressed and doesn't think he's gay.
Kyle apologized for talking about his ex and said that he could usually handle himself better than this. Nick told him that he'd heard that he could and then explained about how this cop had come up to him in the locker room at the gym and warned him about Kyle.
Kyle asked what the cop had said and Nick told him that he'd been warned to stay away from him. Kyle couldn't believe Fish had said that, and things suddenly clicked for Nick, who realized that the cop in the locker room was Kyle's closeted ex.
Nick said he'd had a feeling the cop was gay and Kyle explained that Fish was trying to convince himself that he wasn't and even had a girlfriend. Nick felt sorry for Oliver and said it seemed like he was still hung up on Kyle. Kyle said that was too bad, because Fish doesn't get to tell him he's a phase and then mess with his life.
All right, that brings me up to date on Kish. What a bad two weeks to have missed in real time, the busiest two weeks so far in their storyline!
I'm still really loving this story. Scott Evans and Brett Claywell are both doing an amazing job, and the writers know exactly what they're doing, which is a nice change from some other soaps I could mention!
