She clicks on a video where Cherry, an energetic nurse, lists the million reasons why Eddie could be experiencing discomfort–it ranges from sweat, to pregnancy, to death. This scare sends her to the doctor where it is confirmed that she has Gonorrhea. There she also confirms that she has no idea who gave it to her. Was it the Sexy Coworker, the Mysterious Bartender, or The Boy Next
Door? Despite doing everything in her power to avoid discussing sex, Eddie must confide in her best friend Merri to get the support she needs. After some well-needed girl time, they figure out that it could only be one of the men. The final confrontation is geared to
be combative, but when it’s revealed that he was totally unaware of his infection, they proceed to a first date at an STD clinic.
