Plot Outline:
Robert Lamar Giffin1955-2003 A room full of men are watching an old movie and one man is cuddled up with Robert, who is attached to an IV. The last thing Robert does is laugh with his head on his lover's shoulder. Nate is having bizarre dreams again. This time he's dreaming of his mother in his bed in the morning instead of his wife. He also has a dream with his father, where we learn he's afraid of becoming his father. Lisa is planning a birthday dinner for Ruth, but Nate thinks it's a bad idea. According to him, they've never done anything for her birthday before and she seems to like it that way. Bettina accompanies Ruth to the dentist and makes a fuss about having to wait over an hour on her birthday. They skip out there and go to a massage parlor where they discuss their past infidelities. Kevin, the lover of Robert, asks Fisher & Diaz if he can do something a little different for Robert's funeral. He wants to make Robert's funeral a scene in an opera. They agree and are quite amazed at the effort put forth for it. David wonders about how the couple lasted for 22 years. He realizes it's something he very much wants for he and Keith. Claire can't make it to her mother's birthday. She's attending a guest artist lecture with Russell. Afterwards, she goes out with Russell, her teacher Olivier, and the artist. Olivier continues to tell Claire how talented she is, and seems to begin flirting with her. Later, Russell and Claire hang out until morning where he informs Claire that he is not gay.
