Helen has tickets to a Broadway showing of Rent and asks Joe to go with her. But Joe's hurt his back and just wants to stay home and rest. Helen eventually gets Brian to join her. Shortly after arriving in New York, however, Helen loses all of her money and Brian hasn't brought any since Helen assured him that the entire evening was "on her." Stranded in New York with no money to get home, they stumble into a drag club to get out of the rain, and Helen reluctantly discovers talent she didn't know she had. Meanwhile back on Nantucket, Antonio offers to drive Joe home and "take care" of him. Joe starts to regret accepting Antonio's offer of help, however, when Antonio goes a little over the edge.
