Irresistible — Speaking of black-and-white pretentious stuff, a band called The Organ is filming a music video, complete with fog machine. Carmen is there doing her P.A. thing, and looking gorgeous, and that means Shane can't be far behind. Shane explains that Carmen's mom told here where to find the one with the fabulous smile. Her mom? Shane, you know her mom already? Is that like the fifth time you've known someone's mom, out of the 950 to 1200? Okay, maybe the fiftieth. Still. Carmen rocks because it doesn't faze her in the slightest. And Shane rocks for admitting that she was an asshole at the club the other night.

Ivan's Idyllwild — Ivan is not exactly surprised, nor exactly happy, to see Kit. He rolls out from under a car, sans beard and con ponytail, and looking pretty great. And not ready to talk about the "behind the strap on" thing.

On the set — Carmen rationalizes Shane's detachedness. But the simple thing of it is that Carmen is undeniably happy to see Shane, because there's a truly electric thing between these two, and so of course they follow it, as long as they can and while the pseudo-80s band wails like a cross between Siouxsie and The Motels, until Carmen's radio starts squawking her name. It's all so... eh... except for the fact that these two are kinda hot together.

Shane wants to see Carmen later, but Carmen knows better than that and makes up a story about her grandma. Maybe it's not a story; but it's good not to jump when Shane says to, and I think Carmen already knows that. Anyway, tonight won't work, and tomorrow Shane's gotta go get a lap dance, because she has a friend (Tina) who just got out of a relationship (oh, that explains it). Carmen says yeah, relationships can really fuck you up, like she's about to prove that very thing to Shane.

Idyllic and wild — Ivan offers Kit a beer, which worries Kit until Ivan explains that it's non-alcoholic. Kit says things don't have to be so weird between them, but Ivan just wants to know what she wants, and the truth is that Kit is focused on the business plan that she hopes will secure Ivan's signature and 50k contribution. Ivan doesn't know what to do, exactly, except to tell Kit to go. And to say that Kit shouldn't count on him. Okay, but I'm gonna go ahead and count on him to continue to be so damn cool and hot all at once.

The truth hurts — Charlotte Birch reviews the results of the twenty-minute writing exercise. She doesn't spare Jenny's feelings:

Charlotte: "I see that Jenny Schecter set her story of the hunter and the hunted in a carnival. Is it a true story, Schecter?"
Jenny: "Yes. How did you know?"
Charlotte: "It lacks imagination. You haven't transformed it into fiction."

I would say something about that, but I am too busy kissing the earth that is connected to the earth upon which Sandra walks. I'm not worthy!

Jenny looks positively deflated. Awww. I mean, haaa!
