Synopsis
Things sure do happen!

Plot
After another successful job requiring several lumberjacks killed, Blitzo, Millie and Moxxie return back to I.M.P. As Blitzo offers to buy everyone drinks later that night, Moxxie declines saying that himself and Millie will have other plans; when asked about it, Moxxie reveals that him and Millie will be celebrating their first anniversary at Ozzie's (which causes Millie to squeal with delight.) When Blitzo tries to invite himself, Moxxie sternly tells him that the reservation was for two and he is not permitted to join them.

Despite him getting stopped at the door by the bouncer, Blitzo does not give up. When he's told that it is a couples only establishment, Blitzo decides to call Stolas and invite him as his date; meanwhile, Stolas is at home alone due to Stella having taken Octavia away for the weekend. He wearily makes a bowl of cereal and watches a romantic dramedy when the phone rings; seeing that it is Blitzo calling, Stolas trips over himself to answer it and immediately agrees to go out with Blitzo. He arrives about twenty minutes later and both are allowed to enter.

Getting a table near the stage, Stolas tries to make small talk with Blitzo; the latter brushes him off several times as he tries to find both Moxxie and Millie. Just then, the lights go down and Blitzo is horrified to see that the show host for the night is Fizzarolli, his old coworker from their days at the circus. Fizzarolli makes light of the Loo Loo Land fire and introduces a few of the performers for tonight (including Verosika Mayday (causing Blitzo to bemoan his situation further). Then, Fizzarolli reveals that the very first act is a song written and performed by Moxxie, much to Millie's surprise and delight. After Moxxie plays for some time, the other patrons begin to show some restlessness and Ozzie comes on stage to mock his sincere song being performed in a place known for lust and desire. Fizzarolli joins in and Blitzo tries to come to Moxxie and Millie defense only for Fizarolli to notice him and Stolas. Ozzie in particular takes light of Stolas being with an imp and laughs how he seems to be throwing his entire life away to be with Blitzo. After both Fizarolli and Verosika make fun of Blitzo, Millie eventually interjects and gets Moxxie to finish his song; by that point, Blitzo wants to leave and Stolas follows him. After Moxxie finishes, Ozzie bluntly and angrily tells both him and Millie to leave.

After Stolas is driven back home, he invites Blitzo to come in for awhile, only for Blitzo to decline. On the verge of crying, Blitzo reminds Stolas that what they may have is nothing but Stolas wanting to have sex with him; while Stolas offers to have them instead just talk or snuggle, Blitzo again refuses, saying he is not in the mood. Stolas understands and bids him goodnight; after Blitzo leaves, Stolas sheds a few tears before sitting outside on the front steps of his mansion. Blitzo goes to his apartment and after reading a note from Loona saying she's out, lays on his couch. Blitzo flips through several images on his phone of some happier times in the past, including with Moxxie, Millie and Loona. He also sees one with him and a much younger Fizzarolli back when they were in the circus and one with his two sisters; the latter one causes Blitzo to start crying into a pillow.
