Christian's hedonistic world comes crashing down when his crazy sex-addicted ex Gina visits him because she has tested positive for HIV, so he fears to be positive too. After confiding in Sean, he gathers the courage to inform his numerous sexual contacts who need to be tested too, including baby Wilbur and his father. Kimber is surprisingly understanding, even telling him he won't be alone and abandoned by everyone. Sean is attacked by the Carver, drugged and slashed in the face. Julia helps nurse him but stays with Kevin. The Carver also attacks a girl at Matt's school, and her parents asks Sean to help, which would arouse The Carver's anger; yet he operates on her despite the threat of death. Christian visits Gina in the hospital, and finds she's not on the necessary drug cocktail, as she's lacking health insurance.
