Someones definitely interested in Marco. It's Tim, but not for the expected reason. Tim knows Marco is gay, and has been struggling with how to come out to his friends and family. Naturally, he turns to the most openly gay student at school, Marco, for advice. Marco is flattered with his role as a mentor, but when Tim asks Marco what it was like to come out to his parents, he conveniently leaves out the detail that he's never told his dad. Marco is a hypocrite and knows he has to finally deal with his situation. Meanwhile, Emma starts to crave Peter's ultra-confident way of making her feel like she's the most amazing girl in the world - at the risk of losing Manny, her best friend.
