Looking

After a park-cruising experiment is derailed by a phone call, 29-year-old video-game designer Patrick meets up with his best friends, roommate Agustín, 31, and Dom, 39, to discuss the impending wedding of his ex. The next morning, Agustín agrees to move in with his boyfriend, Frank, in Oakland, though he wonders if domesticating is the right move. Dom, who's been a waiter at the same restaurant for years, tells his roommate, Doris, that he's thinking of reconnecting with old flame Ethan, who has a successful real-estate career. Later, Patrick meets up with OkCupid date Benjamin ; after the date goes south, Patrick is chatted up on the Muni by Richie, a cute barber who also works the door at a Latin drag club in the Mission.

When Dom helps Agustín move his belongings to Frank's house in Oakland, the two question whether Patrick is capable of a casual sexual relationship, despite his assertion that he's tired of searching for a boyfriend. Back in San Francisco, Dom meets up with his LA-ified ex Ethan, and seems intrigued when Ethan tells him he'd like to "start over" as friends. Later, Patrick and Richie go out on a date, but a tipsy Patrick becomes a little too focused on personal details.

At a video-game launch party aboard an aircraft carrier, Patrick and his coworker Owen meet Kevin, a gay Brit who turns out to be Patrick's new boss. Reinvigorated after his verbal beatdown of Ethan, Dom tells Doris about his plans to start a Portuguese-chicken restaurant. Agustin is fired by Stina after opining that her chair sculpture is lame, but his outlook on art and life gets a lift when he meets CJ, a sex worker.

Taking a break from working in the office on a Sunday, Patrick and Kevin connect while chatting about relationships, but are interrupted by a call from Kevin's boyfriend. Later, Agustin, Doris and Dom's coworker Hugo take in the leather-filled sights of the Folsom Street Fair, and convince Patrick to join them. Dom asks Lynn to lunch, but it's not clear whether it's for a date or to talk business. Agustin finds CJ at the Fair and considers "hiring" him for an art project.

Frustrated with the progress of his project, Agustin invites CJ to the birthday picnic, where he and Frank finally cross paths.

Already stressed that his parents will judge his choice of a partner in Richie, Patrick reaches new levels of anxiety before his sister's wedding, and runs into an unexpected guest when he arrives. Still unsure whether to pursue a business or personal relationship, Dom rebuffs Lynn's advice while in the throes of preparing for his restaurant popup.

Though Patrick wants to lay low, the guys end up at a bacchanalian party in the woods after running into a Faerie. Meanwhile, Patrick mulls over what he wants from his life in the city, and Dom looks for clues in the house about Lynn's old life.

After reminiscing over their childhood obsessions, Patrick and Kevin decide to develop a gay game app on the side, but Patrick soon descends into a panic spiral when he discovers a small rash.

Meanwhile, Agustín expresses his gratitude to Richie; and Dom wonders if Lynn really supports his restaurant dream while having breakfast with Doris and her new fling.

As he tests the waters with Richie to see if they can still be friends, Patrick starts questioning his relationship with Kevin after spotting him at the farmers' market. Agustèn gets inspiration from spending a day at the shelter with Eddie ; Doris helps Dom set up a Kickstarter campaign; later Dom is greeted by an unexpected guest at Lynn's.

On an excursion to San Leandro, Patrick gets to see where Richie grew up, and finally has a chance to apologize for the way things ended. Agustèn decides to pay a visit to Eddie after hearing he's sick at home. Meanwhile, wrought over the situation with Patrick, Kevin considers what to do next.

Patrick decides to be a "fun gay" by throwing a Halloween party, dressing up as his favorite video-game character. Agustèn suggests that Eddie stay over after the party, but Eddie doesn't want to move too fast. Forgoing her usual joint costume with Dom, Doris agrees to a couples costume with Malik, though she's hesitant to define their relationship.
