Michael finds out that he is positive, but that doesn?t stop him from being lonely. He meets a tour guide from a visit to Alcatraz, Thack. The two of them go away with Brian, to a cabin in the redwoods. Brian is scared that he has AIDS, and can?t deal with Mary Ann?s advances until the test results come back, in 10 days. Mary Ann is consumed by being an anchor woman, and is outside herself when Entertainment Tonight comes to interview her. Her interview with a famous fat model doesn?t go well, at all.

DeDe and D?or are off to Wimminwood, an all women?s camp in the redwoods. This could be the thing to tear their relationship apart. How will the lives of these significant others survive in the latest installment of Armistead Maupin?s timeless series?
