What really happened when Shane was discharged from the hospital and forced to stay at his parents' house? And why is Hayden so determined to see him settle down? Or why does Hayden think Shane's best shot at a relationship is... Lily from Boston? --- "Hey!" Shane reached out. "Hayden, what are you doing?" "What you should be doing, buddy: getting engaged!" he declared solemnly. He'd already started a call to the contact saved as "Lily" and placed the phone on the table, speakerphone on. The first ring echoed in Shane's ears like a sound that was too loud, too grating. Or maybe it was his heart in his throat that made everything so noisy. He tried to grab the phone, but Hayden pulled it away, snickering. "Come on, Shane. I can feel it! Lily's the right one! And you'll never have the guts to make a move. I'm helping you." --- A missing moment from episode five. Set right after the hospital scene and just before the now-infamous: "I'm coming to the cottage."

Shane got an email he'd expected to be able to easily ignore, but then he sees his husband's face and realizes he's gonna end up doing this embarrassing thing. Set after the Long Game Epilogue, so spoilers. Editing by dxeej for ch1-2
