The next morning, at The Planet — Alice can't cope with it either: as she sees Bette and Tina walking toward her, she happily leaps to conclusions and leaps out of her chair, pulling them into a hug and saying "This is great!" But Bette tells her it's not quite that great yet. Alice can't help but be gleeful anyway. Bette says she's on her way to see Kit, and as she leaves, she motions to Alice from behind Tina's back — it's a cute little pointy-finger-and-facial-expression combo that says "Lookee! That's Tina! She's here! She's speaking to me! She's home!" Tina turns around and almost sees the gesture, so Bette pretends to fuss with her hair instead. Playful giddy Bette is breaking my heart.

Alice asks Tina whether she and Bette really aren't together, "'Cause you look like you are." Tina says "Well, let's just say I'm not ruling it out." Pass the glee, Alice! But then Alice wants to know how Bette feels about the pregnancy, and doesn't feel very gleeful when Tina says she hasn't told Bette yet.

Alice: "But she's gotta know. She must know. I mean... she's gotta know. Is she fuckin' blind?"
Bette: "Bette's pretty wrapped up in herself. She doesn't always see what's right in front of her. It's a problem. It's always been one of our problems."
Alice: "Yeah, Tina... this isn't really just a Bette problem. You have to tell her."

But sometimes Bette sees right through what's in front of her — In Kit's office, Bette meets Benjamin (Charles S. Dutton). He tells her a little about T.O.E., and she tries not to laugh. Bette listens and watches as Benjamin and Kit talk like crazy cult people. Benjamin wants Bette to go to the advanced seminar. Please, no. Besides, we already know what animal she most resembles: the one that eats dwarfy S.U.V. drivers for breakfast and looks really good in a tank top. Really, really good.

The set-up — Shane wants Carmen to give Jenny another chance.

Carmen: "You know what, I really don't know... is Jenny always so weird?"

Wait, I know this one! The answer is no: she's even weirder.

Shane reminds Carmen that she did kiss Jenny, and Carmen all but admits that she did that just to bug Shane. Carmen gives Shane that dazzling smile, and then gets really close to her, and says, "Don't try to hook me up." As Carmen leaves, Shane exhales the same way Tina did when Bette left the room. I didn't know that holding your breath could give you super powers of resistance — I should try that next week when the theme song comes on. Maybe if all of us watching hold our breath, the theme song will get sucked right out of existence!
