Although it is clear that Nate does have feelings for Ricky, he decides to do the right thing by Kat after she makes it clear that she can forgive him for his indiscretion.
However, Ricky has developed real feelings for Nate and finds it increasingly difficult to see him and Kat together.
After sitting through an awkward lunch with the pair, things go from bad to worse for Ricky when she receives some worrying news about her baby son Casey.
As they all rush home to Casey's aid, Ricky can't help but notice Nate's natural ability with her son - but is there any hope for the two of them?
Kyle Pryor, who plays Nate said "Nate wants to move past what happened with Ricky to be in a solid relationship with Kat. Nate understands that Kat has been having a hard time, just as Ricky has. For Nate, there is a constant battle between his feelings and his obligation to those closest to him."
