| - The student bachelor's auction is coming up, and Anya pressures Riley to sign up. But Riley is still messed up about Zane - they're talking again, but that's it. Riley approaches Zane in the locker room and offers to take him to coffee. Owen comes in with a homophobic remark, and proceeds to joke around with the locker room laughing at Zane and the joke. Even Riley joins in, thinking it's all in good sport but Zane is mad and walks off. Riley dismisses the jokes and thinks Zane is being sensitive. He tells Anya this and Anya tells him about the GLBT roundtable Zane is attending so Riley can prove he's not like the other guys. At his house, Riley is preparing to go to the roundtable. His mom is thinking he's going on a date with a girl, and tells him to impress her -- and tells him to pick another shirt that doesn't look "zesty." At the roundtable, the speaker speaks on homophobia and talks about homophobia jokes. Zane speaks on his experiences in the locker room -- he knows the team is joking, but it makes him feel different. He speaks on "a player still in the closet" participating in the teasing and it hurts him deeply. The speaker speaks on internalized homophobia and how it can be formed from friends and family and Riley is aghast -- he realizes he is a homophobe. At school the next day, Riley decides to take a stand against homophobia. In the locker room, thanks to a suggestion of Anya via Spartacus, he passes out pink shirts that he dyed in the laundry. Riley says that the locker room is no place for homophobia. Riley is happy and he's back in Zane's good graces...until walks outside and sees "HOMO" etched in his locker with soap.
