Back from his travels, Coley has returned to California and is working on a new film with Harry. To stay out of Chief Tanner's way, he's mostly stayed around Harry's house, but is beginning to feel cooped up. Laura, a reporter hoping to snag a high-profile job, wants to interview Coley. After putting her off, Harry changes his mind and agrees. She tells her younger brother Cortland that Coley specifically invited HIM to come along. Outside the studio, Coley makes it with a trucker, Tommy, who hopes he'll see Coley again. That night, Coley, Laura & Cort watch one of Coley's movies-- in bed-- and soon things get extrememly wild. Afterwards, Cort feels he's "ruined" his relationship with his sister. To both their surprise, Coley tells Cort he really wants him, more than anyone he's ever wanted before. Cort moves in with Coley.
