Things come to a head and the two Michael’s decide they want to move back in to their old apartment. But when they go back, they discover David has already found two new roommates! Distraught, the two Michael’s decide to move to Rome. David realises that he wants his old roommates’ back, and runs to the airport after a quick stop for hot fudge soufflé. The boys are reunited and all three move back in to the apartment.
