Daphne reads Taylor a harsh letter she's written to Bernice, their landlord. She tells Taylor she took a message for her earlier: It was Taylor's boyfriend. Taylor freaks, thinking Sasha called, but Daphne just assumed it was a boyfriend, when it was actually the mystery caller. Taylor covers and says it was that married guy Daphne caught her with the other night. She promises to end it. At Euphoria, Alex and Sasha almost get into another fight after Sasha's set. Cherish defends Sasha and tells Alex to leave. Later, Sasha arrives at Taylor's apartment and tells her his news: A record producer friend of Gretel's is coming here from L.A. to hear him perform. Back at the house, Natalia reassures Ivan that she doesn't care that he's gay, but she's upset that he's in denial. He loses it and finally admits he's gay. Meanwhile, Julie takes Natalia's advice and goes to her hairdresser, Temple. After discovering he's gay, she says he's the first gay guy she's ever talked with. Julie later surprises Ivan with tickets for their honeymoon, but Natalia tells her that the trip has to be postponed because he's coming to work for her at Spyder Games. Ivan backs up her story. Julie leaves and Ivan thanks Natalia for covering for him, and wants to know what he owes her. She says nothing, because they're family. But we know that Natalia won't forget.

Wednesday, July 4th:
Julie demands to know why she's always considered last in Ivan's life. He says he's doing everything for her--why else would he take an important job at Spyder Games? At lunch with Julie's parents, the Whitmores barrage Ivan with questions about the future. Julie chimes in that she's ready to have a baby. When Francisco walks in the door, Ivan starts fantasizing about Francisco walking over, tearing off his shirt and throwing Ivan down on the table. As Ivan snaps out of it, he can't take the pressure and bolts from the table. At the high school, Alex, Cherish and Rocio are discussing Sasha's poor attendance and grades when Lt. Pardee walks in and overhears. At the house, Principal Premo calls Natalia to request a meeting for later that day. He says Sasha didn't show up for school. This is all news to Natalia. Just then, Sasha walks in the front door, having been out all night at Taylor's. Natalia is fuming but Sasha tells her he's quitting school to focus on his music. At the meeting, Premo comes down hard on Sasha, saying he's nothing like Dmitri, whom the principal remembers as a model student. Natalia hates to hear this, and out of spite, she tells Sasha to follow his dream and not be bullied into anything. Later, she and Francisco do a little dirty-talking on the phone, planning for a rendezvous.
