Nothing like a spot of tea to make everything better. The conclusion of Rose & Nathan's nights out.

In this penultimate episode of season one, things are shaping up for Rose..

Coming out isn't easy… even when you practice.

When we last saw Rose, she was practising coming out to dad – but will she? Does she have the courage? Inside she knows it's time. But how will dad react if she does? Coming out can be the scariest thing a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning teen will ever go through.

Our first minisode of the season, next one will be a full length episode. Kenny finally finds the courage to ask out Alicia Van Harren, well, eventually.

Sometimes people say things they don't realize are mean or hurtful. According to numerous sources, the average teenager hears 26 homophobic slurs in a day. Often, these things are said by our friends, classmates, family members. To Rose, comments like these ring louder than ever now that she's out to herself and to a select few. What if coming out all the way out makes it even worse? What if she's singled out because she's gay? Is this what Vanessa is so afraid of? Is that why she's behaving the way she has been? Questions like these can be overwhelming. Meanwhile, at home, Nathan has an unexpected encounter – which might have devastating consequences.

A difficult time for the LeMay family. Vanessa and her younger brother, Jacob, sit upon the steps as they listen in on their parents fighting. Jacob fears he might lose another sibling to something he doesn't understand, and Vanessa realizes what is truly important to her.

Heartbreak. Anger. Sadness. Rose and Vanessa's households are in turmoil following Nathan's major parenting mistake. Luckily, Kenny is having a better day, showing that sometimes the good guy does get the girl.

In our mid-season finale, Nathan tries what he can to apologize to Rose. Unable to forgive, Rose is still overwhelmed with the possibility of life without Vanessa.
