Its hard to say who does the best job handling the situation.
Felix nervously tells Lake that hes seeing someone new, its actually Pilar, isnt that funny?
Lakes response is that its wonderful and geographically convenient.
Pilars response is, Yeah, I only date guys in my building.
It was either Felix or the ghost of the guy that died in 304.
On second thought, if anyone handled this situation well, it was her.
Then, its time for Lake to break the news that shes with Lucy.
Felix tries to disguise his shock by reiterating, again and again, howgreatthis is.
Its sometimes hard to believe this is the same guy who was Victors pseudo-bully in season one.
I know high school romances are usually just whatever, he says.
Everyone thinks they have an expiration date, but I feel like you and I are different.
The drugs have a slightly different effect on Victor.
(Read: The guy is actually straight.)
In a way, Lake and Felix are in the exact same situation.
The Lake-Felix-Lucy-Pilar love square is officially over.
After Victor genuinely apologizes for blowing him off, Rahim is happy to move on with their friendship.
I just needed you to acknowledge that what weve been through was real, he says.
Then, they can move on to other important topics, like boys.
(Including that straight guy who was chatting up Rahim at Mias party.)
Theres one couple we havent gotten to yet: Isabel and Armando.
She is an unusually good parent, Armando whispers.
Most of them are bad, like us.
We had an unbreakable bond, and I broke it, she spits out.
Back at home, Armando reminds her that Victors forgiven her.
She knows that, but she also hasnt forgiven herself.
I think this woman needs more than PFLAG; she needs therapy.
With everything going on, am I the only one who almost forgot about Benji?
In any case, hes back from rehab, and he pulls a Victor (a.k.a.
shows up at his boyfriends doorstep unannounced without so much as a text message).
The good news: Rehab was great for Benji, and hes in a decent place.
The bad news: He has to avoid triggers, and apparently, Victor is a big one.
Its unclear who decided this (his doctors?
), but hes adamant that, after everything, they have to break up.
Wheres Simon when you need him?
His help could go a long way right now.
Postscript
Remember when I asked about the last time Benji made Victor laugh?
The compliment literally makes Andrew tear up.
Harold gets back to town with the less-than-ideal update that he must move to Palo Alto.
Harold says hell talk to Lakes mom about hosting his daughter for the rest of the year.
Hes no Armando, but Im really coming around to Mias dad.
