Plot

After being gay bashed by drunk individuals and romantically reconciling with Wade, Noah hears the news that Dre is planning to propose marriage to Wade at the Black Gay Pride beach party.

Trey is having his photos taken for calendars to be sold for raising money towards Alex's HIV/AIDS clinic. At the Ovahness Ball, overzealous buyers for the calendars are trying to get a piece of Trey after the calendars are out of stock. Trey tells Alex that they won't be going to the Black Gay Pride beach party. They end up staying home babysitting Chance and Eddie's child, Kenya. While babysitting Kenya, they decide to have a child of their own. Noah breaks up with Quincy during their routine at Ovahness Ball after he told Quincy he's not "the one".

Ricky and Junito decide to have an open relationship. Ricky is anxious about Junito not taking advantage of seeing other people, so he sets him up with another male companion, whom they become good acquaintances. At the beach party, Ricky sees the two share a kiss at the beach party, which upsets him. When Junito finds him, Ricky claims that he is in a "prison", when causes Junito to break up the relationship.

Chance and Eddie are looking forward to the Black Gay Pride. At Ricky's clothing store, Chance spots the very same swimsuit that he wore when he met Eddie. He buys and wears it which surprises Eddie in a good way. They reconciled about the old days of their relationship, one of which they had sex in a car. Eddie later decides to leave the party but lets Chance stay at the beach.

Noah meets up with Wade in the beach's restroom, telling him that he still loves him. Noah also tells Wade that Dre is proposing marriage. Noah gives Wade an ultimatum to tell him in his eyes to leave him forever so they can never see each other again; however, they end up having an affair until eventually getting caught by Dre.

Alex meets up with Chance and Ricky to tell them about his and Trey's decision to have a child. They see Dre yelling at Wade about cheating on him with Noah. They get in the car and drive away, and Noah spots Quincy on the side catching on the whole situation.

The gang drive home together, and on the road, they see a car accident involving Wade and Dre. Wade is thrown out of the convertible while Dre is stuck inside the car. People surrounding the accident look terrified. The sound of the ambulance approaches as the series ends.

Cancellation and Aftermath

This episode of Noah's Arc was the last episode that has aired before going into hiatus. Darryl Stephens, who played the character "Noah", declared this episode to be the series finale on his MySpace page.
