The One That Got Away: After a difficult break-up, Michael feels entirely alone. Until his best friend offers a temporary solution that seems to work and has Michael feeling pretty good... at first. Jim's been worried about Michael and the unexpected solution that even Jim hadn't planned on is going well, right up until friends-with-benefits becomes something more, for Jim, at least. There's just something about Michael. Then Michael takes off without a word, leaving Jim to wonder whether there's any hope at all, or if he'll be forever thinking of Michael as the one that got away. The One That Was Lost: Elliot is a player until a traumatic evening sends him running a friend's errand to Boston, where he meets up with Jamie.

Jamie likes Elliot and thinks they could have some fun together, right up until he realizes he wants something more, but Jamie tells himself it will never work. After an intense night that ends badly, Jamie tries to put Elliot behind him. When Elliot realizes what he's given up and wants him back, will Jamie make it easy on him?
