She tells Lip that she is going to go to Veronica’s to see what she has. Mandy comes in and says that she forgot a few things that she needs. Lip asks if he should just go to school, but realizes that he has to deal with Mandy. Christopher wakes up and makes Frank breakfast with a bloody Mary. They sit down and Frank’s foot is hurting him. Christopher says that she has a doctor who is Korean and she is great. Frank makes a racist comment about her, but realizes that Christopher works for the city. He says that he and Christopher qualify for domestic partner rights. Christopher doesn’t think that is how it works and Frank says that he is going to fight this.

Mandy is packing her things when Lip comes in. He tells her that he meant a little bit of what he said, but says that there is nothing between him and Karen. Mandy tells him that Karen still has his pictures up on her Facebook and Lip says that he doesn’t care about that. She tells Lip that Karen is no good. On her way out, she tells Lip that he has an interview at MIT and that she sent in applications for many colleges. Fiona gets to Veronica’s and finds a nice suit and skirt. She asks Kev if men have PMS and he says that he doesn’t. Veronica says that he does and reminds him of the time when he broke the TV remote. Fiona says that Jimmy is quiet. Kev says that just because he is quiet doesn’t mean that he is thinking of the relationship. The topic of whether or not to circumcise the baby if or when it comes is brought up and Fiona says that you have to get it cut because the child won’t get his share of blowjobs. However, she realizes that Veronica doesn’t want the baby circumcised and gets out of there quickly.

Frank gets to the City office and says that he has been living with Christopher for a year and that they are gay. The City worker gets up and goes on break because she doesn’t want to hear it. Fiona tries to make a call by the script, but instead she veers off it when she hears that a man had problems with the delivery man and eventually gets the call rerouted to sales, like she is supposed to. Connie tells her that she has to stick to the script. Fiona gets a call from Debs’ school telling Fiona that Debs is not there.

Connie tells Fiona that Mr. Pratt, the cousin of the boss, wants a word with her. She talks to Mr. Pratt and tells him that she needs the job.

He tells the man that he is tired of being made fun of. The guy tells him that he is on his team. It turns out that the bar is a gay bar.

Ian and Mandy get back from school and Lip tells her that she plagiarized his application. She tells him that a thank you would be good. He says thank you by having sex with her. Connie comes up to Fiona at work and asks if she is alright. She says that she will be. Connie tells Fiona that she is going to keep her on for some more time and says that she should buy something less revealing. Her co-worker says that she can tell her father that he is a “big” fan. Nando’s man says that Jimmy can’t go from being rich to being poor. He says that he should leave Fiona. He tells Jimmy that he can go walk and think.
