Brian and his friends Donald and Hakim are designing and building a float; Bill watches in dismay, wishes Brian were more like Fitz's son Scotty, who's the captain of the high-school baseball team. When Donald must rush Hakim home, Judy suggests that Bill help Brian out with the float and be more involved in his life and interests. Bill just recruits Scotty to help Brian, who discovers that Scotty is gay--when Scotty asks him out. Brian tells Bill and Judy, and Bill tries to figure out how to break it to Fitz; Judy objects, saying that Scotty should be the one to tell him. Judy, thinking Bill told Fitz about Scotty when he suddenly dropped in, actually blurts it out instead. It turns out Fitz already knew and he's accepted the fact that his son is gay. Bill sees this a "wake-up call" to be part of Brian's life, decides to help him out, but he ends up making matters worse when he makes some changes to the float and it's damaged. In the end, Bill and Brian together find a way to fix the problem, doing it Brian's way. Meanwhile Lauren and Judy are participating in the parade doing Irish step dancing. Judy doesn't dance well and Lauren needs to break the bad news; she tries to get someone else to tell her but everyone refuses. When Lauren finally blurts it out, Judy is puzzled; she remembers past times of being one of the best out on the dance floor. Eventually, she and Linda realize why. Hint: During this time, Tina has a cold, but she actually loves the medicine she's given. Written by goleafs84 See less
