A Plot
Marco is organizing the school's huge blood drive and in typical Marco fashion, he's stressing out. But he's also planning to take extra course during the summer and graduate early in order to be with Dylan as soon as possible. At the blood drive, Marco's is setting things in motion and Caitlin Ryan is there, reporting live. Marco is excited to give blood, but a nurse from the blood management denies his request — because Marco has had sex with another male. Marco is humiliated and angry at the discrimination and talks with Caitlin on putting the blood management nurse on the spot. He confronts the nurse on camera, and nurse says that there's an increase in risk for gay men for HIV/Aids. Mad and upset, he goes to go visit Dylan, and catches in bed with making out with another guy (Kamikaze Guy). Marco is angry, but Dylan doesn't want to break up with him. He just wants the relationship to be open. Marco is hesitant, but Craig convinces him to go to a college party Dylan's attending and plead his case.At the party, Marco and Dylan are getting along great and Marco gets Dylan to watch Caitlin's report at the blood drive — unfortunately his segment on HIV/Aids is cut. Marco is upset and he thinks the best way to get Dylan back is to make him jealous and he even hits on someone, but it doesn't make Dylan jealous, just makes Marco feel crappy. In the hallway on the stairs, Marco and Craig are talking and when Dylan spots him, he kisses Craig on the lips. Something Craig isn't happy about. Marco and Dylan talk afterwards — Marco doesn't want Dylan to see other people and it's taking a toll on his psyche. Dylan isn't willing to give up his freedom, but Marco is more than willing to give him up. The next day, Marco meets with Caitlin who tells Marco his blood drive segment hit the cutting room floor thanks to Executive Meddling. Caitlin then invites Marco to do some volunteering over the summer with HIV/Aids groups in Africa and the Caribbean which Marco accepts.
