Scenes of mayhem and madness — After Bette and Bert leave (Bette and Bert. It's funny.), Joyce holds Tina's hands and offers Tina her guest house. I'm gonna whip that tie around and strangle you with it, Joyce: you're an arrogant, amoral sleaze. You're worse than the skeeviest ambulance chaser. You're worse than Toxic Tonya!

During the conversation, Tina expresses anger by taking off her jacket. Huh? Oooh, I'm scared. And actually, I am scared when Joyce says "You know how many of my clients have stayed in my guest house?" Because yeah, I bet your guest house is a teeming hothouse of disease by now. Sorry, I had to say it, because that's how Jane Lynch delivered it.

Meanwhile, outside, Bette drives too fast, runs a red light, and slams into an SUV. The driver of the SUV gets out and starts screaming at her. Bette's face does this amazing thing — Jennifer Beals is fucking channeling something — that makes her look sort of like a comic book character who is so angry she's about to turn into a force of nature. And that she does: Bette gets out and stares the little guy down:

Bette: "You need to stop yelling. No one was hurt; I have insurance; so just shut the fuck up. Do you fucking understand me, you fucking idiot, or do I need to scream like you, like a fucking insane savage?"
SUV guy: "You're going to be one sorry bitch."
Bette: [grabbing the guy by the collar and shaking him, and screaming] "What makes you think I'm not already? What makes you think I'm not already?!"

After that, I am really, really hoping that we get to see a Bette/Joyce smackdown at some point.
