The New Planet — Kit is getting into her new managing gig. Alice and Shane show up and can't believe how different the place looks. Kit starts talking about all the music she's going to bring in, including a jazz quartet for the opening night. Alice and Shane aren't so sure about that:

Alice: "Kit, this is West Hollywood. This is gay town. You got to give the girlies what they want."

Listen to Alice, Kit. She knows. And Alice, could you maybe talk to hmm... everyone who's in charge of this show and tell them the same thing? Much obliged.

Alice decides they can get Pink, because they've got to know "a lesbian who knows a lesbian who knows another one who knows her." Shane and Kit are not optimistic, but Alice says she should "believe in the power of the lesbian phone tree." But Kit needs something solid, so Shane says she knows a DJ. Yes, she does.

A clean, strangely-lighted place — Jenny, who appears to have let Shane do her hair, is trying once more to convince Charlotte Birch to give her a spot in the writing class. Sandra Bernhard is so good at doing the unimpressed thing. Jenny has to hear the hard truth:

Jenny: "I just actually wanted to know why I didn't get in."
Charlotte: "Maybe it's your self-consciousness. That schoolgirl outfit you came in here with — am I supposed to fall for that? I want real writers in this class. Fiction writers. You don't write like that: you journal. You think because you change the circumstance and the settings that you're creating... but you're not. And I'm not here to read The Autobiography of Miss Jenny Schecter. Become a writer first. Then maybe."

That made me so happy, I think I've sprained something.

Jenny looks stunned, and as if she might cry, and then does something rather surprising:

Jenny: "Well, thank you for letting me know. But please don't presume that you know me."

Sandra likes this. I kinda do too.
