by Scribe Grrrl

Shane and Alice try to order Tonya takes over at the new coffeehouse

Alice waves Dana and Toxic Sludge Tonya over for some backup: "Shane does not know what she's doing here." Tonya takes control — we're all so shocked — and asks Shane what she normally orders at The Planet. And as Tonya translates, she puts an X in espresso too, but it's so much more annoying than when Shane did it. And it's so much less funny than the way Dana explains the intricacies of the coffee ordering. But then there's this:

Tonya: "And we will each have a toffee nut caramel soy Far Out frappe."
Shane: "A toffee nut soy..."
Tonya: "Far Out frappe."
Shane: "Far Out frappe. That's...that's intense, Tonya."
Tonya: "It's what I'm in the mood for."
Alice: "Dana didn't really say that she was in the mood for one, though."
Tonya: "No, but she likes what I like. She always wants what I want more than what she wants. Right?"
Dana: "It's true, I do."
Shane: "That's so nice. [muttering] So lesbian."

Look at Dana's moony clueless eyes! And Tonya's arrogance! And Alice's smirk! And Shane's world-weary sigh! Ah, the first zippy ensemble scene of the second season.

Muscle cars — There are butches everywhere. Look at those pompadours and grey tank tops and all the grease: pardon me while I swoon. We're at "Best Picture Cars," Ivan's body shop, and there's Kit. She asks one of the mechanics why Ivan's not calling her back and where he is; but the butch ain't playing. Well, almost: apparently Ivan's at his cabin in Idyllwild. Kit keeps pushing for info, and insists that she really cares for Ivan. We know, and we like it! But the mechanic — Dax is her name, and genderblurring is her game — still isn't sure, and is not happy about the whole "behind the strap-on" scene from last week. Kit says they can get past that, but Dax isn't convinced and says Kit should wait a few days and then pretend it never happened. But Kit doesn't have a few days.

Hey, Dax? You're kinda cute. Call me. Well, you know: if Alice doesn't get to me first.
