The guest house — Alice helps Tina move in. The guest house is lavish and annoying, but not as annoying as the weird music that's playing as Tina and Alice walk through the woods. Alice, by the way, is wearing one of those shirts that she's not supposed to wear around Dana. Or me, probably.

The sad sisters — Bette and Kit think that life sucks and maybe they should order some food. Kit starts to whine about The Planet, but Bette stops her:

Bette: "Kit. Tina is taking legal action against me. She's divorcing me, and I smashed my car in an intersection, so..."
Kit: "You want Mexican?
Bette: "Sure."

Bette's sad little smile breaks my heart.

I'll take one — There's Carmen. Rummaging in the fridge and wearing red undies and a tank top. She's trying to decide which beverage says she cares: soy milk or beer? Carmen, if you're the bartender, you could heat them up and mix them together and it would still be a tasty treat.

But she's not asking me: she's asking Jenny — yeah, now we get that Shane and Jenny are indeed roommates, so Carmen was bound to show up at some point. Anyway, Jenny says soy milk is the more caring beverage, but Carmen says it's not very sexy. Jenny sort of pauses, probably because she's thinking the same thing I am, about the deliverer being more important than the item delivered.

Carmen introduces herself and is all happy and cool, and apologizes that Jenny had to meet her in her "supa-lova" costume. Jenny thinks it's a nice costume, and so does everyone else who has eyes.

But in the bedroom, Shane is not sufficiently impressed, because she's thinking of going out rather than staying there with Carmen. Hey, Shane? You're a fool. Also, the Fraggles called -- they want their hair back.

Carmen knows that Shane's being a fool, so she suggests a game, called "too hot." It's an exquisite form of torture that requires constant kissing but no touching, and the point is to not give in to the urge to slide your hands all over the deliciousness that is Carmen. Shane thinks she can do it, of course, so she agrees to play, and it is indeed a hot thing. And Shane loses, grabbing Carmen's ass in a moment of weakness (or perhaps clarity). So Carmen says "Lie down, bitch" (actually, she says "lay," which isn't entirely inappropriate in this case).

Shane actually seems kind of overwhelmed by the whole thing, and who can blame her? It's too hot.
