La Jolla — Alice and Shane are there to convince Dana to break up with Tonya. At least, that's why Alice is there — and she's dragging Shane into the mess. Shane tells her to mellow out, but I think it's a little too late for that. Shane plays along anyway.

As Tonya wanders off down the hall, Alice sneaks into Dana's hotel room for a little snogging. I like the way they smile into each other's kisses. And I like the fact that Alice calls Tonya a "scary robot."

I'm trying to ignore the fact that Dana's legs don't really look anything like a tennis player's. Anyway, Alice's cell phone rings, which means that Shane is trying to warn her that Tonya is coming back:

Dana: "What was your escape plan, Al?"
Alice: "I didn't really think about that one."

But Alice handles it well enough by doing a "surprise!" thing and pretending that she's there just to support "her friend." As Dana and Alice stand with their arms around each other (as friends), Tonya turns around — giving Dana the opportunity to cop a feel. And the laughs keep on rolling:

Tonya: "Our little Miss Fairbanks has been a bundle of nerves. Haven't you, baby?"
Alice: "Oh, have you? Oh, boo doo doo doo doo!" [tickles Dana]
Dana: [laughs and friend-punches Alice in the arm]

After Alice makes her exit, Dana does this hilarious gaspy "Alice... crazy" thing, and then puts a stoic look on her face and stomps off. Erin. Gifted. Brilliant. The naysayers may roll their eyes at the "comic relief," but I don't think I'd be watching this show if Alice and Dana weren't on it. They're the only ones I'd actually want to hang out with. Well, and Carmen. And Jenny when she's high, so I could laugh at her. And Shane when she's rolling a spliff. And Tina when she's playing air drums, and Bette when she's doing anything at all, and Kit when she's not with the toe jam guy. Um. Never mind.

Surprisingly sexy — Carmen is walking Jenny home after a date — or so we have to assume, since we didn't actually get to see any of the date itself. Carmen is telling Jenny that she had a great time with her, but the silence assignment was weird, so she'd like to do it again when Jenny is a little bit more "verbal." Carmen's carrying a flower — nice move, Jenny, if you gave her that.

Jenny hangs her head, which is sort of annoying, but Carmen tucks a hand under Jenny's chin and offers her a very sexy sweet kiss. Jenny's breathless. I would be too. Carmen seems oddly charmed, in spite of herself. Are you sure you wouldn't like the silence assignment to last a bit longer, Carmen? Because I really, really would. Jenny is actually sorta cute when she's not talking.

I can't decide whether I want Carmen to be with Jenny or Shane. Shane will break her heart, but Jenny will be... so Jenny. I just know that I want Carmen to be with somebody, because she's hotter than the torturous fire of the theme song — speaking of which, I tried to ignore the Spanish version of it that was playing during this little scene.
