Although Lily no longer has to wonder if Lo’s affection is real or fake, she feels strange asking him for sex and becomes agitated and shy whenever she wants it. Lo starts to pick up on this and admits that he didn’t realize that Lily wanted him to take the lead. Lo does just that, and they have sex in the kitchen.

Lo and Lily go out for a date at an expensive restaurant, and it seems like they’re being judged. The server even reminds Lo that he will have to pay for what he orders. Insulted, Lo asks for the most expensive bottle of champagne to go. The bottle costs $4,000, and Lo and Lily take it to a nearby taco stand to eat tacos and drink champagne. Lily wants to go out for Lo’s birthday, which is on Halloween, and Lo agrees, but only if Lily promises to dress up in their comic convention X-Men outfits.
