Lloyd offers to take Diane to their graduation party. She agrees, to everyone's surprise. Their next "date" is a dinner at Diane's, where Lloyd fails to impress Jim, and the [[Internal Revenue Service]] informs the latter he is under scrutiny.

They grow closer and becomehave intimatesex, to her father's concern. Lloyd's musician best friend Corey, who has never gotten over her cheating ex-boyfriend, Joe, warns him to take care of Diane.

Jim urges Diane to break up with Lloyd, feeling he is not an appropriate match, and suggests she give him a pen as a parting gift. Worried about her father, Diane tells Lloyd she wants to stop seeing him and concentrate on her studies, giving him the pen. Devastated, he seeks advice from Corey, who tells him to "be a man". Meanwhile, Jim discovers his credit cards are declined as the investigation drags on.

On a [[boombox]] at dawn, Lloyd stands under her open bedroom window and plays "[[In Your Eyes (Peter Gabriel song)|In Your Eyes]]" by [[Peter Gabriel]], which played when they becamehad intimatesex. The next day, Diane meets with the IRS investigator, who says they have evidence incriminating Jim with [[embezzlement|embezzling]] funds from his retirement home residents. He suggests she accept the fellowship as matters with her father will worsen.

Diane finds the cash concealed at home and confronts Jim, who tells her he took it to give her financial independence. Jim feels justified in doing so as he provided better care of his residents than their families. Distraught, she reconciles with Lloyd at his [[kickboxing]] gym.
