A
garage Hey, it's Ivan! and Kit! And
they're talking about cars, or at least Ivan is.
Kit:
"Ivan, you are speaking a foreign language
to me... and you know what that does to a girl."
Then
they talk about Marina's suicide attempt which,
in this retelling, took the form of driving into a
wall in the hotel parking garage, which Ivan thinks
is rather unimpressive. Then Ivan gives Kit a present:
keys. One is to Ivan's apartment, because he lives
only a couple of blocks from The Planet, should Kit
need a break during her workday. Kit's talking about
banks and meetings and Marina's family: sounds like
she's making a purchase, doesn't it? When she mentions
Marina's family, she says "Her mom is some kind
of damn contessa." And nobody can say "damn
contessa" the way Kit can. Ivan sums it up nicely:
"She may be a contessa, but as far as I'm concerned,
Kit, you're a queen. Don't you forget it." Swoon!
So
Kit takes the key, and then asks what the other key
on the ring is for. Ivan goes to the window and points
to a car below it's Kit's. Ivan has restored
it to celebrate Kit getting her license back. Kit
is very moved and starts to move in for a kiss, but
Ivan says no, because Kit's not sure. Have I mentioned
that I think Ivan rocks?
Kit
does a little diva-like pose against the car. Have
I mentioned that I think Kit rocks?
Movin'
out Tim is loading the moving van.
He's moving to Ohio. He suggests that Jenny stay in
the house until she can find an apartment. She starts
babbling about a writing class, and Tim sorta pretends
to listen, but not really, and then he just walks
on by.
Not
this again Jenny's reading her writing
again. There are words on the screen, or at least
on her laptop screen, which is bad enough, and there's
a voiceover. One of my friends who's watching with
me points out that Jenny appears to be wearing a baton
twirler's outfit. Yes, it's complete: the ponytail,
the sequined vest, and the self-delusion. And we get
some weird little fantasy/storytelling scene that
makes me want to put a baton through my skull.
An
awkward goodbye Tim finds Bette by
the pool to say goodbye. Bette's drowning her sorrows
and not really listening, but finally gets the message
and chats with him a little. Bette tells Tim that
Marina tried to kill herself by "trying
to drive her car off the PCH
or something." I'm beginning to think Marina
has nine lives.
Tim
says "you never expect your life to throw you
so totally off plan." Bette kinda gets that.
Nice
wallpaper Jenny opens her mail: she's
got a rejection letter. She adds it to what is apparently
a wall of rejection letters. It's one of the most
beautiful things I've ever seen!
Shane
does hair and more Shane meets Arianna
Huffington, who proceeds to say several odd things
like "So, you're gay" and "dykes are
the new fags" and "what about love?"
Shane pretends not to care about that, but then someone
very interesting shows up Carmen, one of the
new characters the one with a smile that's
almost as hot as Shane's glasses. And because Shane
is wearing those glasses this very minute, Carmen's
a goner. She kind of melts when Shane says "I'm
Shane." Is it the voice or the glasses? Either
way, Arianna noticed the chemistry, so when she sees
Carmen go by later, she sends Shane after her.
It
turns out Carmen is a D.J. and a P.A. and also an
S.T. (sexy thang). She doesn't let Shane get away;
she invites her to listen to something in the mixing
studio or whatever convenient space that is. She talks
about the kind of stuff she wants to do with her career.
Shane:
"I like a girl with ambition."
Carmen: (laughing) "Fuck
you."
Shane: "Okay. If you want."
And
she does. So they do. Carmen has sexy tattoos and
I don't like Shane's hair.
