“Freelancer” arrives home to find Gavin studying for his D.A.M.N. 101 exam half-heartedly. They attempt to encourage him to focus on his studies, with questionable, but enjoyable, results.

One of Lasko’s coworkers, a Water Elemental, comes to visit him in his office. They talk at length, and at the end of the conversation they ask if Lasko would be interested in going on a date with them at some point soon. He happily agrees and gives them his number.

“Freelancer”, Gavin, Damien, and Huxley plan to see a movie and go to dinner. Huxley and “Freelancer” run late, and while waiting for them, Damien and Gavin talk. Gavin eventually reveals that his efforts to complete his full certification exemption exam have been delayed due to discriminatory action from the exam proctor. Damien rallies behind him with support. They each come out of the conversation with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the other.

Lasko is asked out on a date by his Water Elemental coworker. Despite initial anxiety, he agrees. The dinner portion of the date goes badly, but their walk afterwards vastly improves the night, and the date ends on a high note.
