after unfinished business between his brother Brad and him comes to a head 
over money.

Brad, who has been taking care of Dad's business, is angered when Michael

D: Tom Moore    W: Joseph Dougherty

Michael learns a lesson about truth in fiction when he uses Nancy's life for 
literary fodder.

By coincidence, Michael and Nancy sign up for the same creative-writing workshop.  
There, Nancy's literary prowess surprises Michael, whose own writing is, as his 
professor bluntly puts it, too "cute and clever".  So he tries again, and in his 
quest for honesty, uncovers something about himself:  he's attracted to the "new" 
Nancy that has emerged since her separation from Elliott.  In fact, he's so 
attracted to her--and so scared by his fantasy about her--that he covers up those 
feelings, and instead incorporates into his story a very private memory Elliott 
related to him.

Meanwhile, pompous adman Miles Drentell dangles a tasty job offer in front of 
Michael and Elliott, but Michael's not biting.
