The premiere of season 1 of US Queer as Folk introduced all the show's initial main characters. Notably, it saw Brian take home Justin for a one-night stand which then sets the stage for their future relationship, one of the main themes of the show as a whole. Also during this episode was the birth of Gus to Linsday, having been conceived from sperm donated by Brian.
Plot
After a night out at the club Babylon with Michael, Emmett and Ted; Brian picks up a cute guy named Justin for a night of fun, but afterwards coldly rebuffs Justin's attempts to see him again. Michael also gets lucky taking home a hunk only to be happily interrupted for a trip to the hospital after Brian learns that Lindsay and Melanie have had a baby boy, Gus. In the meantime, Michael stays in the closet at work, which causes some problems with an interested co-worker while at the same time he struggles with feelings of jealousy over Brian's relationship with Justin.
