Today's Kish scenes picked up where we left off on Friday, with Fish having just told Kyle that he was going to be protecting Stacy and her unborn child. Oliver noticed right away that something was bothering his boyfriend and asked him what was wrong.
Kyle said that he hated that Mitch Laurence was threatening Stacy's baby, but Fish could tell that something else was upsetting him. Kyle admitted that he'd found something out at the hospital but that he couldn't tell him what it was because of doctor patient confidentiality.
Fish understood and told Kyle that there would be stuff from police investigations that he wouldn't be able to share either.
The two had just settled back on the sofa and Oliver was about to help Kyle forget the bad day he'd had when Fish's phone rang. Rex was calling to ask Fish to come over and baby mama-sit Stacy for an hour while he ran some errands. Poor Oliver said that he'd just got off (he meant from work, of course, though if Rex had just called a little later...) but Rex promised to double his rate if he'd do it.
Fish apologized to Kyle but explained that it was extra cash and he was helping to keep a baby safe. Kyle seemed frustrated but understanding.
At Stacy's place, Oliver promised to guard Stacy like the baby was his own child. It was cute at first, but they're really starting to over do having people make unwitting references to the baby being Oliver's.
As soon as he was alone with Stacy, Oliver opened with a reference to the last time he was at her place, but Stacy shut him down, reminding him that the two of them hooking up that night was a big mistake and never happened.
Fish rather adorably said that if he'd known she was pregnant, he'd have been too afraid to touch her. He was in the middle of asking if that could have hurt the baby when they were interrupted by Stacy's friend Kim. Oliver went out in the hall to stand guard and leave the women to their scheming.
I'm not quite sure why exactly, but Scott Evans seemed even hotter than usual in this scene, not to mention downright adorable as Fish bumbled along, making awkward conversation with Stacy.
Meanwhile, Kyle headed to Rodi's, where he was just in time to break up a very one sided food fight between Roxy, Gigi and Schuyler. Kyle's BFF wasn't taking too kindly to seeing the woman her son loves making out with the new man in her life, so she bombarded them with whatever drinks and food she could get her hands on at the bar until Kyle broke it up.
You have to love Roxy!
Kyle took Roxy to a table and bought her a drink, but not before he told Schuyler that he thought he'd earned the treatment that Roxy had just been dishing out.
Roxy and Kyle had a very sweet conversation about how Kyle has Roxy's back, but then it got awkward when Roxy brought up the fact that if Stacy wasn't carrying Rex's child, Rex and Gigi never would have broken up.
A guilty Kyle went back over to the bar and confronted Schuyler again, telling him how Roxy was over there talking about a grandchild that wasn't even really related to her. Kyle told Schuyler that he had to tell the truth and Schuyler claimed that he would when it was the right time. He then twisted the knife a bit by saying that he was just trying to stop someone he loved from ending up with the wrong person and that Kyle knew what that was like.
Funny, I don't remember Kyle lying and scheming to make sure Oliver didn't end up with Layla. I'm really starting to hate Schuyler at the moment, I think they're ruining the character by having him keep this secret. It just doesn't make sense.
Oliver returned to his apartment, his babysitting shift over, and Kyle was knocking on the door before he could do more than set down his gun. Kyle said that he was glad Oliver was home in one piece and added that whenever Fish is on the job, he just feels glad when he comes home safely.
Oliver pointed out that this was 'just security work', which seems awfully naive to me in this case. I certainly wouldn't want to be standing between Mitch Laurence and something he's determined to have! It's not a very safe place to be.
Fish went on to say that he can't let anything happen to Stacy's baby and that it's weird that even though the child isn't his, he understands how a parent feels. Again, they're way over doing these references! It's a very minor quibble, but I don't think references like this add to the dramatic tension at all. Just let Oliver be shocked when he finds out the news, we don't need all these ironic comments along the way!
That was it for Kish today. Stacy is determined to induce labor a month early, on Valentine's day, so that her delivery date matches up with when she originally got pregnant by Rex. This means that our guy Oliver could be a daddy by this time next month. I'm still hoping Kyle and Fish end up raising the baby together, though I'm not sure they're really at that stage in their relationship yet.
