A pair of young gay men is attacked, resulting in Marc Foster, Jr's death. David hates this particular job since he feels extreme discomfort on his being gay, which makes it even more daunting when he is encouraged to go to Ruth; and so does Keith, who is instructed to deal with any troublemakers who attend the funeral. Nate tries to convince Brenda that Billy should receive treatment as their parents suggested after he attacks him, but Brenda doesn't get it until it happens to her.
