by Scribe Grrrl

Jenny, Mark and Shane in the kitchen Dana and Alice have a chat at the Planet

Breakfast — Jenny is trying to figure out whether Carmen is interested in her, so she's asking Shane about it while Mark eavesdrops.

Jenny: "Okay, when you went out with her, like, was she just kind of like, I don't know, reticent?"

Well, I know I would be reticent if I were on a date with Jenny. Reticent, and clawing my own eyes out with the salad fork.

Mark leaps to conclusions about lesbians "sharing chicks." Shane reminds Mark that she doesn't date Carmen anymore. Mark wants to know how Shane gets girls to go home with her — "Doesn't your reputation precede you by this point?" — and I really want Shane to say "It does. That's how." Instead, she asks Mark how he gets girls to go home with him, and I sing the Fraggle Rock song as loudly as I can while Mark answers.

Shane says that the most important thing (where women are concerned, not fraggles) is to listen, and to not talk too much. Mark suggests that Shane show Jenny exactly how it's done, by having a threeway.

Shane: "I hate to tell you this, Mark, but... I don't fuck my roommates."

Jenny smiles a rather smug smile at that. Also, Mark, if there is going to be a threeway on this show, it is going to be between me, Alice, and Bette. Or me, Alice, and Dana. Or me, Bette, and Kit. No. That is wrong. It's wrong!

The Planet — Dana is waiting anxiously for Alice. When Alice arrives, Dana reminds her that "Tonya's meeting is only a couple of hours," and asks if they can go back to Alice's place — and she does so with a very very cute smile. But Alice isn't swayed:

Alice: "Dana... I'm not gonna do this with you."
Dana: "You're not gonna do what?"
Alice: "I'm not gonna sneak around with you. I'm not gonna be your secret lover, your back-door woman..."
Dana: "Wha.... happened?"

Dana says "happened" in a really small voice, as if she knows that of course she shouldn't expect any of that stuff from Alice anyway. Alice explains that she wants Dana to leave Tonya, but Dana says she can't do that right now because of the tournament tomorrow — "Tonya set up the whole thing." Alice says "gross" and starts to leave.

Dana calls her back, and gets all cute and mushy and takes Alice's hand and says she really, really wants to be with Alice. And because Alice is a sweet sappy romantic, she sighs and asks Dana to break up with Tonya after the tournament. Dana nods and begins to play footsie with the hottest thing in The Planet. And Dana actually has a very sweet, loving look on her face, so I'll forgive her this time.
