After meeting up again in Barcelona, the two begin an affair behind the back of Pamela and Mansourian, who consistently attempts to contact Kennington to no avail after his dog dies.
While consoling herself in the bathroom, she finds a pair of her son's boxer shorts hanging on the shower line.
Six months later Paul, now at Music College and in a relationship with another older man, meets Mansourian again who invites him to page turn at a private event, where he later seduces Paul unaware of his previous connection with Kennington.
Again his mother is unaware, but while cleaning Paul's room after he returns for Christmas, she finds a photo of Kennington, with a love note written on the back, in his suitcase.
Pamela then attends a PFLAG meeting where she discovers her now ex-husband's wife has a lesbian daughter.
