Eric, played by Nathan Bronson, catches a glimpse of his bold housemate Sylvie, portrayed by Laney Grey, clad only in an oversized shirt. There are indications that he is drawn to her. However, Sylvie, who is a lesbian, views Eric purely as a friend and is oblivious to his desire for her. She casually mentions that her partner, Marian, played by Spencer Bradley, will visit the next day. As she disrobes to do laundry, Eric, though unnoticed by Sylvie, gives off vibes of frustration and envy. On the following day, Eric unwittingly witnesses Sylvie and Marian engaging in intimacy with the bedroom door ajar. The women show no concern, unaware of Eric's escalating irritation. His vexation heightens when, upon returning from the gym a few days later, Sylvie playfully touches his muscles and playfully spanks his rear end, still considering him just a friend. One evening, returning home early from work, Eric is irked to hear Sylvie engaging in sexual activity once more. Growing fed up, he decides to confront her about closing the door. To his surprise, upon reaching Sylvie's room, he finds her cheating on Marian with another woman, Paula, portrayed by Leana Lovings. Sylvie ushers Eric to another room to talk in private. In the living area, she implores Eric to keep her infidelity under wraps, citing their friendship. Eric loses his temper, stating that Sylvie's actions are toying with his emotions. He declares his intention to move out and disclose the affair to Marian. Alarmed by Eric's threat to inform Marian, Sylvie proposes having sex to mend the situation and restore their camaraderie. Eric consents but insists on immediate action and requests Paula's participation.
