Opening Montage
Theme Song: "Jersey Girl" by Cash Cash
We see Quinn and Jim walking arm in arm down the street gazing affectionately at each other. Next, we see them at a diner on a double date with Chuck and Stacy. Close up of Quinn and her red hair. Next, we see Quinn dancing at a club. Jim comes into view and sweeps her off of her feet and they kiss. Cut to a bunch of guys looking jealous. Next, we see them speeding on the highway in Jim's Camaro. We see them playing a carnival game at the shore next. We see Quinn calming down a frustrated Sandi while Jim beams proudly. Next, we see her and Jim at a bar on a double date with Trent and Lindy. Finally, we see Quinn's smiling face in a circle with a pink background. Below that...

A Starbucks in Lawndale...
Sandi and Quinn are catching up over coffee. Sandi seems unusually happy despite the fact that she has to keep working as a stripper due to the tight job market.
"...so even though I have an Associates Degree now I can't find a job. It sucks that I have to keep stripping."
Sympathetic, Quinn said "At least you're trying to do something about it. This recession can't last forever." At this point Quinn notices Sandi's smile and is puzzled as Sandi was just bitching about her job. "Why are you smiling, especially given that you were just bitching about being stuck stripping?"
Radiant, Sandi said "Because I have a new boyfriend."
Quinn is visibly happy for her.
"Sandi, that's great. What's he like?"
Beaming, Sandi said "You'd like him, Quinn. He's incredibly handsome and a well groomed. He's nice, smart and has flawless fashion sense. He works as a male model. In fact, he's so into fashion that I think he just might be "the one", though I admit it's too soon to make that call."
It's obvious to Quinn that Sandi is totally enamored with this guy. She said "I'm happy for you, Sandi. He sounds like a real catch. What's his name?"
"Adam, Adam Simmons."
Quinn gets an idea.
"I'd like to meet him. How about this weekend you double with me and Jim?"
Sandi smiles.
"Sounds like a plan."
A parking lot in front of a cowboy themed restaurant called "Cowtown Steakhouse", evening...
Quinn and Jim are walking toward the restaurant.
Quinn said "Thanks for doing this, Jim."
Smiling, Jim said "Not a problem, Quinn. After all, any friend of yours is a friend of mine."
Just then they see Sandi and Adam waiting at the entrance to the restaurant. Adam is tall and muscular with gelled black hair, an Ed Hardy T-shirt and skinny jeans. Quinn is visibly impressed.
"Sandi wasn't exaggerating, he is cute."
The two couples meet. Sandi said "Adam, these are the friends I was telling you about. Quinn Morgendorffer and her boyfriend, Jim Carbone. This handsome guy is my boyfriend, Adam Simmons."
Quinn and Adam shake hands. As they do she has a thought.
He has a weak handshake for such a buff guy.
"Pleasure to meet you, Adam."
Adam said "The pleasure is all mine, Quinn."He looks at her feet.,"Where did you get those shoes?"
"Cashmans. They're Gucci."
"They look great on you."
Smiling, Quinn said "Thanks."
Sandi beams proudly.
"I told you he has impeccable fashion sense."
Adam and Jim shake hands.
"Nice to meet you, Adam."
"Likewise, Jim."
Inside the restaurant, a short time later...
The interior has a lot of old west décor. There are paintings depicting both cattle drives on the open plains and gunfights in frontier towns. The bar is set up like a saloon. The two couples are at a table making small talk while a waitress is taking their orders.
Jim said "I'll have the Rustler Rib-eye, medium rare."
Jotting down the order, the waitress said "Excellent choice." She turns to Adam. "And you?"
"Chicken salad will be just fine."
"A fine choice."
She leaves. At this point Quinn notices something. While Jim's beverage is a beer Adam is drinking a Cosmopolitan.
A guy drinking a Cosmo!?
Quinn and Jim's apartment, later that evening...
Music: "I Kissed A Girl" by Katy Perry
Quinn and Jim are talking about Sandi and Adam. Jim said "Adam seems pretty cool. He and Sandi seem almost taylor made for each other."
Quinn looks unsure of that.
"Jim, did you notice anything about Adam that was...well...off?"
"What do you mean?"
Quinn said "I don't know. I just have this weird feeling about him. Like what we saw wasn't the real him."
Jim looks thoughtful. He said "Well, I was a little surprised that he ordered a chicken salad at a steakhouse, but he's a model so I just figure being a health nut is part of the job."
Quinn said "He talks about fashion with an unusual amount of interest for a guy. It just seems weird to me."
"Well, like I just said, he's a model. Maybe he just really likes his job."
Quinn looks unconvinced, which Jim notices.
"You're convinced something's up with him."
Quinn said "Yes, I just have this gut feeling that he isn't what he seems. What if he's lying to Sandi? She's been through so much already and I don't wanna see her get hurt."
Jim gets an idea.
"I'll try inviting him for a guys day out. If something is up with him he might let it slip in all male company."
Quinn said "That could work."
She kisses Jim.
"Thanks, Jim."
Wachovia Stadium, Philadelphia, Sunday afternoon...
The Philadelphia Eagles on the line of scrimmage against the New York Giants. They snap but the quarterback is almost immediatley sacked. In the bleachers Jim and Adam are sitting next to each other. Adam looks curious while Jim looks very disappointed.
Jim exclaimed "You've gotta be shitting me!"
Adam asked "Because the quarterback was knocked to the ground!?"
Jim said "It's called a sack. It means the Eagles just lost ten yards and it's fourth down. They either have to go for it or punt."
"I see."
"So, you've really never been to a football game?"
Adam looks a little sheepish.
"No, for some reason sports were just never something I was interested in."
Jim doesn't see anything wrong with this as not every man is a sports fan. It just means that Adam's interests don't include sports.
"It's cool, dude. I'm more than happy to educate you."
Curious, Adam asked "How did you score tickets to an Eagles game anyway?"
Jim said "My friend and former boss, Mack. He felt so bad about having to lay me off that he gave them to me as an apology. I was gonna go with him but I decided it was an opportunity to get to know you better. Sandi seems to really like you."
Adam doesn't sound very convincing when he says "I like her too. She's great."
Jim notices the lack of sincerity in Adams voice, but before he can say anything...
Announcer: "Touchdown, New York."
Jim turns his attention bakc to the game.
"WHAT THE HELL!?"
Jim turns his attention back to Adam.
Adam said "Hey, Jim, after the game you wanna do something else?"
Jim suggested "We could hang out at the liquid dinner for a bit before heading home. I'll need it after this game."
Adam thought This is promising. As he seems to leer at Jim but Jim doesn't notice.
The Liguid Dinner, evening...
Music: "Relax" by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Jim and Adam are at the bar chatting over drinks. Jim is having a beer while Adam is having a Mai Thai. Jim has yet to pick up on the increasingly obvious.
"So, how'd you get into modeling?"
Adam said "The fashion industry just always had a certain appeal to me. You'd be surprised how much work is actually involved. I also like looking my best and as soon as I got into modeling I felt like I belonged for the first time in my life."
Jim said "I can relate. I didn't really become comfortable in my own skin until college."
Adam grins as he takes a sip of his drink.
"So, you were recently laid off?"
Jim said "Yeah, it was a huge blow to my ego but Quinn snapped me out of it pretty quick."
Adam said "No worries. It's hard to find work anywhere right now."
Jim, not noticing the unusually affectionate tone in Adam's voice, said "Tell me about it. That's why I recently started a YouTube channel about cars. I'm still looking for a job, though. The channel is so new that it hasn't had a chance to really catch on yet."
Adam said "You look really handsome, Jim. Have you ever considered modeling?"
Jim looks weirded out for a second but immediately shrugs it off.
"Not really my thing. You know some of the stereotypes about male models. I actually respect you for having the guts to do it."
Adam blushes slightly, but Jim doesn't notice.
"Thanks, Jim. I like you."
Missing the signals, Jim said "I'm glad. Since our girlfriends are friends it helps if we're friends too."
In a suggestive tone Adam said "That's not what I meant."
He leans in and tries to kiss Jim. Jim's eyes go wide with shock and he takes a huge step back.
In a sensual, teasing tone Adam asked "What's the matter? I'm not your type."
Jim looks seriously weirded out.
The Liquid Dinner, evening...
Jim is seriously freaked out by the fact that Sandi's boyfriend, Adam, just tried to kiss him.
"Um, Adam, I'm straight."
Adam said "Yet here you are on a date with a gay man."
Jim said "I didn't know you were gay. This isn't a date, it's just two guys hanging out. Just because I hang out with someone one on one doesn't mean I wanna play tonsil hockey with them. What made you think I was into guys anyway?"
Adam is now visibly embarrassed. He explained "Well, you and Quinn seemed so genuine that when you asked to take me to a football game I assumed that you were bi and picked up on my vibes."
"Adam, I was just looking to hang out. Sandi seemed into you so I figured we should get to know each other a little. But I'm only interested in girls."
Adam becomes very apologetic.
"Sorry, my mistake."
Jim still looks uncomfortable.
"Does Sandi know?"
Adam hangs his head in shame. He said "She doesn't."
Jim can hardly believe what he's hearing. He tries to get a grasp on things.
"So let me get this straight. Sandi thinks you two are in an actual relationship but in reality you're a gay man using her as a beard."
Adam nods, visibly ashamed.
"Please don't tell her."
Shaking his head disapprovingly, Jim said "How do I not? She deserves to know that she's being played."
Adam looks at Jim with pleading eyes.
"Please, Jim. Promise me you won't tell her."
Jim looks thoughtful for a second.
"Will you tell her?"
Adam doesn't answer.
Jim said "Then I have to. This is really unfair to her."
Adam now gets desperate. He begged "Jim, please! I'll tell her when I'm ready. Just give me some time. Promise?"
Jim now feels a little sorry for him. With a frustrated sigh he said "Fine, I won't tell her."
Adam is visibly relieved.
"Oh, Thank you!"
He almost hugs Jim but thinks better of it.
Jim thought But I'm definitely telling Quinn.
Quinn and Jim's apartment building, later that evening...
Music: "Girl Talk" by ?
Jim has just told Quinn what happened. Her reaction is wide-eyed, open-mouthed shock.
"WHAT!?"
Jim said "Adam's gay, he tried to come on to me, he's using Sandi as a beard and she doesn't even know about it."
Quinn's expression changes from shock to anger. She ranted "I knew it! I knew something was off about him! I mean drinking a Cosmo, the effeminate handshake, the obsession with fashion and the modeling career. All the classic signals. I just didn't put it all together because I didn't wanna seem ignorant."
Feeling guilty, Jim said "He made me promise not to tell Sandi."
"That weasel. He's using her to make people think he's straight."
Jim is very conflicted about whether or not to tell Sandi. On the one hand, she has a right to know that she's being used. On the other hand, he promised not to tell. There's also the possibility that Sandi wouldn't believe him. He said to Quinn "What are you gonna do? I mean, think about it, Sandi could be devastated if we tell her. She might not even believe us."
Quinn said "You promised Adam that YOU wouldn't tell. I have no such obligation and I have to tell Sandi. She has a right to know that she's being used."
Doubtful, Jim asked "Is she even gonna believe you?"
Quinn said "Jim, I can't keep something like this a secret. I know she'll be devastated but I can help her through it. The fact is that her boyfriend is lying to her and pretending to be something he's not and it isn't right."
Jim sees Quinn's point.
Sandi's apartment, evening...
Sandi is wearing a bathrobe and has wet hair because she has just taken a shower. There's a knock on the door. Sandi looks out the peephole and then opens the door. It's Quinn.
"Quinn, this is a surprise!"
Quinn looks very solemn.
"Sandi, I need to talk to you. Can I come in?"
"Of course."
Quinn enters and Sandi closes the door behind her.
"What's going on, Quinn?"
Quinn said "I need to tell you something really important. You probably wanna sit down for this."
Sandi sits on the couch and Quinn has a seat right beside her.
Quinn explained "You know, Sandi, if you knew Jim was lying to me about something huge I'd want you to tell me. Even if the news would devastate me. Friends look out for each other, after all."
Sandi looks concerned.
"Quinn, what are you talking about? Did Jim do something?"
"Actually, this is about Adam."
The mention of her boyfriend's name causes Sandi to overlook the implications of what Quinn just said. Beaming, Sandi said "Isn't he great? I know we've only been together a short time but I've never clicked so well with any guy."
Quinn now looks very hesitant, which Sandi notices. Remembering her friends serious tone, Sandi begins to wonder if something fishy is up with Adam. She eyes Quinn suspiciously.
"What about him, Quinn?"
The harsh tone makes it clear that Quinn had best not beat around the bush. She hesitates despite this, which causes Sandi to lose her patience.
"Spill it, Kuh-win."
Quinn, knowing that when Sandi pronounces her name "Kuh-win" it means she's rapidly losing patience, blurts out "He's gay. Adam's gay and he's using you as a beard. He tried to come on to Jim today. Sandi, I'm sorry, but he's not who you think he is."
Sandi is shocked.
"No...It...It's not possible. You're lying!"
A little hurt by the accusation, Quinn said "Sandi, it's the truth."
Sandi gets angry. In a venomous tone, she said "You just can't stand to see me happy, can you? You need me to be vulnerable just so you can come to the rescue. Or are you just jealous because I'm dating a model while you're stuck with a brain."
Refusing to get drawn into a fight, Quinn calmly said "Sandi, please. I'm not trying to hurt you."
Quinn reaches out but Sandi slaps her hand away. She's very angry.
"I think you'd better leave."
Quinn looks very hurt by this.
"But Sandi..."
Sandi shushes her. Next, she gets up and opens the door. She points outside and firmly says "Leave, now!"
Quinn sighs as she gets up and walks out the door. Sandi slams it shut behind her. All too soon her angry scowl turns into a rattled frown.
What if she's telling the truth?
A one story white painted house in a nice neighborhood, the following afternoon...
Sandi walks up to the front door and rings the bell. Adam answers the door.
"Oh! Hi, Sandi".
Sandi is visibly angry.
"Adam, we need to talk."
A few minutes later, they are in the living room sitting on the couch.
Point blank, Sandi asked "Adam, is this a sham relationship?"
Adam looks nervous but not shocked. He tries to play dumb. He said "Sandi, of course not. What makes you think it is?"
Sandi said "Last night Quinn told me that you tried to come on to her boyfriend yesterday. She said that you're gay and using me as a beard. Is it true?"
Adam says nothing, which makes Sandi even more angry.
"IS IT!?"
Adam sighs and lowers his head. Sheepish, he said "It's true. Sandi, I'm sorry."
Sandi snapped "YOU'RE SORRY! You led me on just to cover up the fact that you're gay and all you can say is that you're sorry. I knew you were too good to be true."
Adam said "You don't understand, Sandi. I come from a very conservative family. They'll disown me if they find out. You don't know what it's like to live a lie because your loved ones will turn on you if they know the truth."
Sandi's expression immediately changes from anger to understanding. She knows all to well what it's like to be ostracized by one's own family. Now sympathetic, Sand said "Actually, I know exactly what that's like. You see, I'm bisexual. I spent my teens in total denial of that fact because I was afraid of being an outcast. I was convinced that I was straight and any sexual attraction I had to girls I would just dismiss as idle curiosity."
Now, Adam looks very interested. He asked "When did you accept that you're bi?"
Sandi said "My first semester of college. I fell in love with a girl who was also bi. I tried to keep it a secret at first. When we came out to my family my mother disowned me and threw us out. I haven't seen my parents or my brothers in years. I had to live in a homeless shelter until I'd saved enough to get my own place."
Adam looks very sympathetic. He puts a hand on Sandi's shoulder.
"I'm sorry about what you went through and I'm sorry that I lied to you. But you do see where I'm coming from, don't you?"
Sandi, hoping she could get him interested in her, said "Yes, I know because I've been there. I...I'll keep it a secret."
Quinn and Jim's apartment building, evening...
Quinn and Jim are watching TV while Quinn scratches Storm behind the ears. There's a knock on the door.
Quinn said "I'll get it."
She gets up and answers the door. It's Sandi.
"Quinn, can I come in?"
"Of course."
Sandi comes in and Quinn closes the door behind her. Storm comes up to Sandi and begs for some attention. Sandi scratches him behind his ears.
"Yes, Storm. You're such a cute doggy."
Satisfied, Storm returns to Quinn and Jim. Sandi sits down next to them.
"Quinn, I owe you an apology. It turns out you were right about Adam."
Quinn said "Sandi, you don't have to apologize. You were hurt and angry, I understand."
Jim added "She only told you for your own good."
With a sigh, Sandi said "I know. I can't believe this. Just my luck, I find a guy that I think is proof of love at first sight and it turns out he was a lie. A gay man using me as a beard. I confronted him and he admitted the truth."
Quinn asked "So, you dumped him?"
Sandi looks nervous.
"No, I didn't. I decided to keep up the charade."
Quinn and Jim are stunned speechless. Clearly, Sandi is in denial.
Quinn and Jim's apartment building, evening...
Quinn and Jim are having a discussion with Sandi. The topic is Sandi's decision to stay with Adam despite the fact that he's gay.
Quinn said "What do you mean you're gonna stay with Adam? You're definitely not his type because his type is guys."
Unwilling to accept this, Sandi said "I think I can change him. Ashley, that girl I dated in college, changed me. She made me bi."
Quinn can't believe what she's hearing. She tries to reason with Sandi.
"She didn't make you bisexual, you always were. All Ashley did was get you to accept it."
Jim said "She's right, Sandi. Despite what you see in porn it's impossible to change someone's sexual orientation."
Sandi doesn't buy it. She's too deep in denial.
"I know I can't get him to stop being into guys, but maybe I can get him into girls. I just have to seduce him."
Jim said "When he came on to me he made it pretty clear that he's gay. I admit you do have a lot of sex appeal but you can't make a gay man interested."
Sandi, clearly deluding herself, said "I don't know about that. I think he may actually be bi. I've seen him stare at me with a look that was clearly lust."
Quinn still can't believe what she's hearing. She said "Sandi he was probably just acting. If he's bi then why did he tell Jim he was gay?"
Sandi gets defensive. She said "Quinn, even though I know this about him I still have feelings for him. I have to try. I can get him to see me the way I see him. I should be able to count on you for support and I obviously can't do that. If you don't understand then I see no need to stick around."
Sandi gets up and heads to the door. She opens it before turning to Quinn and Jim. She is now angry. In a harsh tone, Sandi said "Have a nice life."
She leaves, slamming the door behind her. Quinn and Jim are now shocked. Jim is the first to speak.
"You know this is gonna completely blow up in her face, don't you?"
Quinn looks worried.
Morgendorffer House, day...
Quinn decided that she needed some advice. To that end, she turned to her sister. Now in the padded room that Daria once again calls home the two sisters are sitting on the bed. Quinn is telling Daria what's going on.
"...so now Sandi's convinced that he's actually bi and she wants to seduce him in order to prove it."
Daria said "She's in denial."
Quinn said "Way to state the obvious."
Daria raises an eyebrow.
Quinn said "What? You're not the only Morgendorffer who likes to use sarcasm."
Daria half smiles.
"Obi Wan has taught you well, young Skywalker. Seriously, though, unless he's bisexual Sandi has no chance of getting him into bed."
Quinn said "That's why I'm worried. She'll be completely crushed when she realizes she can't change him. I don't know what to do. I don't want her to get hurt but I can't stop her from doing something that'll only cause her more pain."
Daria looks sympathetic. She said "There's nothing you can do, Quinn. Sandi's a grown woman who's free to make her own decisions."
"But what if she gets hurt. I can't help worrying about her. She's had it really rough since high school."
Daria said "Which is why I think she's doing this. She's so starved for love that she'll try to get it any way that she can."
Quinn asked "If I can't do anything to protect her what can I do?"
Daria said "Be there for her. This way you can help her deal. And remind her that even if she isn't loved romantically she's still loved as a friend. She once said that she now considers us family. Be her family."
Quinn looks thoughtful.
Sandi's apartment building, evening...
Adam and Sandi have just been out on a date and he is now walking her to the door. She's wearing a tube top that leaves very little to the imagination and is so low cut that it's a minor miracle her breasts don't pop out.
Sandi said "I had fun tonight, Adam."
Adam said "So did I, Sandi."
Sandi smiles suggestively at him.
"Would you like to come in? We could hang out for a little while longer."
Adam appears hesitant.
If I didn't know any better I'd think she's trying to seduce me. No, she knows I'm gay.
"Sure, why not."
Music: "Gimmie More" by Britney Spears
A few minutes later Adam and Sandi are sitting on the couch. Her demeanor is overtly sexual, which is making Adam uncomfortable.
Sandi, in a suggestive tone, said "Could you excuse me while I change into something more comfortable."
"No problem."
Sandi gets up and goes to the bedroom. As she does she walks in a manner that would turn any straight guy on. She closes the door. Adam is now very confused.
She knows I'm gay. Why is she acting like she's trying to turn me on? Doesn't she understand that I'm only sexually aroused by other men?
Sandi emerges from her bedroom wearing nothing but a lacy black bra and thong panties, neither of which cover much of anything. She does a catwalk toward Adam. She sits next to him.
"Sandi, what are you doing?"
Licking her lips in a seductive manner, Sandi answered "I'm being sexy for my man."
Adam said "Sandi, I'm only sexually attracted to other men."
Sandi said "I know you're into men but how do you know you aren't into women? Maybe you just haven't found the right one."
Adam is now very uncomfortable. Sandi takes his left hand in both of hers. She runs it up her inner thigh and speaks in a very sultry tone of voice.
"You like how I feel?"
She next places his hand on her right breast and smiles seductively.
"How about now?"
Very uncomfortable, Adam said "Sandi, what's gotten into you? You know I'm not into girls."
Sandi licks her lips in an erotic fashion.
"I think you are and just don't know it yet."
She straddles his lap and kisses him passionately, using lots of tongue and even moaning into his mouth. After that...
"I'm horny."
She places his left hand on her right ass cheek.
"I want you to stay with me tonight. I want you...", she licks his ear, "...inside me."
Adam looks seriously freaked out.
"Sandi, please. I'm not turned on by women."
Sandi slowly removes her bra, giving Adam a full view of her bare breasts.
"How about now?"
Adam doesn't respond. Sandi takes both of his hands and places them on her bare breasts.
"Take me, Adam. I want you to have sex with me."
Adam shoves Sandi off of him and stands up.
"Look, Sandi, I'm not interested. I'll prove it."
He places her hand on his crotch.
"Does it feel like I'm aroused to you?"
Sandi is disappointed as she feels that he is not even the slightest bit aroused.
"Nothing. You aren't even semi rigid."
Adam said "Because I'm gay. I have never had even the slightest interest in women. You have to accept that."
Adam has a sudden look of realization. He finally decided "Look, Sandi, maybe we should just break this whole thing off. You need to get over me and find someone who is interested. I'm sorry I led you on and I'm sorry you want me but it isn't going to happen."
Without so much as a goodbye he walks out of the door. Sandi covers her breasts and looks like she was just stabbed int the heart.
Quinn and Jim's apartment building, later that evening...
Quinn and Jim are making out on the couch when there's a knock on the door. They stop kissing and Quinn answers the door. It's Sandi.
"Quinn, I need to talk to you."
"Come in, Sandi."
Jim is a little annoyed as it becomes clear he isn't going to get any tonight. Sandi and Quinn sit down on the couch.
Sandi said "You were right, Quinn. Adam and I broke up."
Sympathetic, Quinn said "Sandi, I'm sorry, but I tried to warn you."
Shaking her head, Sandi said "I know, and I should've listened. I just wanted him so badly that I couldn't accept the truth. I invited him into my apartment and tried to get him to sleep with me. It didn't work. I threw myself at him, almost naked, and he didn't become even the slightest bit aroused."
Shrugging, Jim said "Makes sense. He's gay, it's impossible for him to be turned on by a woman."
Sandi frowns.
"Every time", she said in a bitter tone. "Every damn time I try to find love I just wind up alone. First a girlfriend who cheated on me, then my relationship with Joey fizzles out and now this."
Sandi looks like she wants to cry. Quinn feels bad for her.
"Sandi, you just have to keep trying."
Choking back tears, Sandi said "Easy for you to say, Quinn. You're in a relationship that's still going strong after more than three years. It's only a matter of time before you two wind up exchanging I dos. I just keep getting hurt. What's wrong with me?"
At this point, Sandi starts crying. Quinn puts a hand on Sandi's shoulder to reassure her. She said "Nothing's wrong with you, Sandi. What happened to you can happen to anyone. When I broke up with my college sweetheart it hurt like hell, even though it was my decision to end things. It happens."
Wiping away her tears, Sandi said "You found Jim, so it worked out for you. Stacy is married to Chuck Ruttheimer and having his baby, Jane's living with an archaeologist boyfriend and even Lindy found love with Trent. The only one who hasn't found that special someone is me. I'm going to wind up an old maid."
Quinn said "Sandi, you're only 27. You still have plenty of time. Even if you never find "the one" you can still be happy. My sister doesn't have a boyfriend and she's perfectly okay with that."
Sandi said "Everyone I know is in a serious, steady relationship. I'm starting to feel left out."
Quinn is even more sympathetic as she realizes just how lonely Sandi is. She said "Oh, Sandi! You aren't being left out. We're all here for you. If you're worried about being alone, don't be. You'll always have me and Stacy and everyone else. We don't mind including you in things. Besides, I know plenty of attractive single guys and I can find some single girls who are into girls. Just let me know and I can fix you up with someone."
Sandi is moved to tears by the offer. She hugs Quinn.
"Quinn, thank you so much. You're the sister I never had. I love you."
"I love you too, Sandi."
Jim added "Just remember, Sandi, you have friends who'll always help you out."
Sandi lets go of Quinn and now hugs Jim.
"We aren't friends, Jim. You and Quinn are my family."
Quinn joins the group hug, visibly moved.
Next Time
Quinn and Jim get a visit from Jim's uncle Vito, who lends new meaning to the term "dirty old man".
