Shane's get-together — Alice and Dana and Tonya are hanging out at Shane's place. Kit calls Alice to check on the Pink thing, but of course Alice is not making much progress there. She checks the six degrees of lesbian separation chart on her computer, asking Shane and Dana for ideas on who might possibly know Pink. Alice and Dana start to snipe at each other a little, when Jenny shows up, having decided not to go to work, because who really needs a job when your job is to insist to everyone that you know how to write?

Anyway, Tonya points out that Jenny is one of the "interesting single women" that Alice was complaining about not being able to find in L.A. — and of course I don't have enough lifetimes left to point out all the problems with that statement. Alice is surprised to hear that Jenny is now single, and proceeds to flirt with her a little, and then makes that lame U-haul joke that we really didn't need to hear again. The back door opens — it's Bette, with a glass of something, and it's clearly not her first glass of something tonight. Bette says she thought she would invite herself, since nobody else does anymore. Awww. Shane gets her a chair and it's all really awkward.

Tonya decides they should change the subject, and poses this question to everyone: "If you saw yourself at a bar, would you ask yourself out?" Alice says Dana wouldn't have the balls to ask herself out. Shane says she would fuck herself but not date herself. Alice says it's a stupid question, and that she would find herself "hysterical and charming" but she wouldn't go there. Dana says, "Something tells me you would," and at this point Tonya interrupts to ask why Alice and Dana are "totally on each other." Um.

Jenny and Bette win, if this is a game:

Jenny: "I think that if I were a guy, I would definitely ask myself out as a woman, and if I were a woman, there is no fucking way that I would ever ask myself out as a woman."
Bette: "I would see myself, and then I would go running in the opposite direction."

Bette laughs a crazed laugh that scares everybody.

Good friends — Next thing we know, Alice and Shane are helping a sloshed and sobbing Bette into bed. They care for her and give her little kisses, and their kindness seems to surprise Bette. It's a short, simple scene, and possibly the best one in the episode.
