Bubblicious — Tina's in the tub. There's a knock at the door. Tina quickly scoops up some bubbles to cover her voluptuousness. Wait. Do I see Dove soap? Yes, and it's no surprise that it's obviously unused: I don't think Tina gets her creamy complexion from that crap.

Bette's there to give Tina some fresh towels. Why, oh why, does my cursed brain instantly flash to Kim and Kerry? Anyway, Bette is being respectful, and trying not to peek under the bubbles. As Bette goes, Tina says there's something they need to talk about, maybe later, if Bette will be home tonight. Bette says, "I will be if you want me to be," which is entirely the right answer.

Real lesbians — Mark is talking to his camera, explaining that he hasn't "hit it" yet with his roommates because they're "real lesbians." He pauses and declares himself "fuckin' lame," which causes me to sigh deeply with relief — because if he keeps recapping himself like that, I won't have to bother.

The C.A.C. — Bette lays out a new plan for James, regarding Tina's apartment hunt. She wants him to "take his time." Why do I keep not-quite-recognizing James? He must be a little too... hmm... BORING BORING BORING.

I adore the delight on Bette's face as she tells James that Tina has moved back home. Oh, Bette: let me get you some fresh towels. You're going to need them for all the tears.

He must be more charming in real life — Jenny and Shane arrive home with their Whole Foods goodies, and walk right into another surprise video shoot. Mark starts talking as fast as he can, trying to explain his new project, which is apparently supposed to educate the world in the ways of lesbianism. Shane and Jenny eat bagels while he babbles on. I get distracted, because I keep hearing little "uh-huhs" from Jenny, but her lips aren't moving — it's that damn poltergeist again!

Jenny — with her lips moving — says "I think that there's a lot of I's contradicting the we's in your run-on sentence." Yeah, you're the expert on grammar and logic, Miss Eviscerated Dismantled Evanescent Carnival Freak.
