Mandarette Chinese Cafe — Shane, Dana, Toxic Sludge Tonya, Alice, and Tina are talking about whether it's okay for lesbians to get lap dances — or, as Tina puts it, for women to exploit other women. Shane says the strippers she knows do it for fun. And Tonya thinks it's weird that Tina's never had a lap dance, until Dana confesses she hasn't either. Tonya says Dana wouldn't want anyone else's booty on her booty right now. Alice and Dana exchange a look that totally clues Shane in and makes her say "Whoa" and almost choke on her chopsticks. Alice notices, but Shane pretends it's nothing.

Fab, funny scene! What's hard for me to describe is the way the camera's working — which is as if it's sitting on the revolving lazy susan thingie in the middle of the table, and so every time someone seems to be turning that, the camera turns. It's groovy.

Tina isn't sure she wants the first woman to ever touch her other than Bette to be a stripper. Speaking of Bette, there she is — picking up some takeout — and when she sees them, it's like she's the little kid on the playground who can't get anyone to play with her. Poor Bette! Yeah, I guess I'm not done with her after all. Shane follows Bette out and says she's just sorry about the whole thing and that it just sucks. And she's just sorry, and it seems like the best word for all of it. I think it's what Bette needed to hear — nicely done, Shane.

The strip club — Well, well. What can I say? Dana's shy and hilarious as she tries to tuck some money into the stripper's... well, G-string or whatever it is (count me among the many who are not in the habit of going to strip clubs). The most disgusting thing about the whole thing is not the strippers but the Dana-Tonya kissing.

But then we almost get Dana-Alice kissing in the bathroom, and woo! I dig the heat between them — until Tonya interrupts (and then, yuck, takes Dana into the stall with her while she pees). Toxic toxic toxic.

Shane confronts Alice about Dana. Alice admits that they kissed, and tells Shane she's a freak for figuring it out. Let's just hope Shane is a freak who can keep a secret.

Tina gets a lap dance, and maybe it would be okay, except the stripper she chooses looks a lot like Bette, and why doesn't anybody see how pregnant Tina is? There's barely room on her lap for the stripper. But it really is kind of a painful moment for Tina, and her face shows a lot of heartache and confusion. I'd be sadder if I didn't love the Martina Topley-Bird song in the background.
