## Plot summary

Michael, Stanley, and Billy decide to go on a gay ski trip where Michael spots a handsome realtor that he met two years prior named Corey at a Realtor conference in Cleveland.

Meanwhile, Suzanne runs into Claire outside of her new home, where the older rich lady tells her she has been going out with her divorced girlfriends lately. But unfortunately, more than one of them has lurched at her at the end of the night. Suzanne explains how times have changed and it's cool to be sexually fluid right now. But also that nowadays, people don't have to just choose a box and then stay in it. Claire then asks Suzanne what she is up to, and she replies that she is meeting with her friend Mia at Ten West. Claire then recalls how her ex-husband Henry was dying to get into that particular club once upon a time, but they rejected him. Through some guilt tripping, Claire manages to get Suzanne to invite her for a girl's night, and to rub it in her ex-husband's face that she got into the club before he did.

As he started to get close to Corey, he also got very distracted by the revelation from Horst that Colin was in Miami with his new boyfriend, a hot and successful architect. His friends try to get him to not think about Colin and instead focus on having a good time.

Back in New York, the club doorman at Ten West, but he gives Mia and Suzanne a hard time, until Trey vouches for them, and they along with Claire are allowed inside. Suzanne then tells Mia that she may not like Claire at first, but she can promise that as the night goes on, she will warm up to her. Once inside, Trey apologizes for not adding Suzanne to the list like Kai asked him to. He flirts with her saying he didn't want to let down a beautiful woman such as her, and then informs the trio of ladies tht their first drinks are on him. Claire proceeds to order a cold double belvedere with two olives. Claire points out that it seems like Trey has a thing for her. To which Mia says that she has said as much as well, since he constantly flirts hard with Suzanne when they use him to get into places. Suzanne however tells the two ladies that even if that were true, he is his son's best friend, so she'd rather pass. Mia however, doesn't budge, and tells Suzanne, it would be nice for her to spend a romantic evening with a young man.

Later, the three women's fun time gets ruined when Henry, Claire's ex-husband arrives at the club with his younger girlfriend. Henry tries to make her feel bad, but she disses him by telling him how he looks like he is being escorted around the club by his nurse. Then, in a shocking turn of events, Claire kisses Suzanne and afterwards, shoos Henry away proclaiming that she is fluid now.

Unfortunately, Michael gets very drunk when he goes to join Corey in the hot tub, and ends up throwing up. Billy and Stanley drag him to their cabin and Billy ends up dropping Michael, which leaves him with a noticeable bruise on his face

After much hounding, Suzanne goes up to Trey, and he tells her that he flirts with everyone, as that is part of being a bartender. He then lets it slip, that Kai has managed to find his father through 23 and Me.
