Mark's
den of iniquity — Mark's phone rings.
It's Shane, wondering whether Jenny's home. But Jenny's
busy lecturing the likes of Hunter, so Shane has to
ask Mark for help instead. He understands about the
oxy, and tells her not to drink too much water, and
he'll be right there.
On
Mark's computer, we see the shot of Shane that I liked
so much — one hand flipping off the camera and
the other hand holding a spliff. Yeah, it kinda says
a lot.
After
class — Charlotte asks "Schecter"
to stay behind. But no, she's not going to fuck Jenny
right there on the desk like I want her to. Instead,
she's giving Jenny an opportunity: some formerly famous
dude needs a ghost writer for his memoirs. Charlotte
says "I told him you were my most gifted student."
Go
ahead, Jenny. Smile. And then throw Charlotte on that
desk!
Kids
— As she plays with the artsy kids and watches
Helena help a kid build a sand castle, Tina calls
Bette and leaves a message.
Trouble
town — Mark finds Shane. Am I supposed
to think that Mark is a good guy now, just because
he's helping Shane? And why are those two big guys
beating Shane up and calling her a little freak? Is
she getting bounced from somewhere? I dunno, I think
maybe this is suddenly an afterschool special about
the many ways in which drugs are BAD. Also, I guess
we're supposed to think that Shane has finally hit
rock bottom. Well, good. Next scene, please.
Meat
— Bette arrives home to find an eager,
waiting delivery girl.
Delivery
Girl: "I was just looking for
Tina."
Bette: "Tina doesn't live
here anymore."
Delivery Girl: "I'm Sandy.
She used to buy frozen meat and fish from me; usually
stocked up a couple times a year?"
Bette: "Yeah, I remember
you."
Delivery Girl: "Do you
think you might want something?"
Bette: "Um, I don't really
do that much cooking on my own, so..."
Delivery Girl: "Well,
let me give you a box of New York steaks on me.
Maybe I could come by and cook them for you sometime."
Bette
just chuckles and goes inside. Did you SEE her, Bette?
Invite her in and give her a drink and the run of
the kitchen. She can cook for me anytime, even though
I'm a vegetarian.
Something
else is waiting for Bette: a big box. Also, Tina's
message, which is wonderful: "I just wanted to
let you know that I've been, uh, thinking about our
baby. We conceived of this baby together, and you
should absolutely be part of her life."
Bette
smiles a hopeful half-smile. And she opens the box
to reveal a special-order mobile from the sexy artist.
Bette's smile gets bigger as she says "I think
she'll like this."
Maybe
when she's 17, but what's a baby going to do with
a dangerous contraption made of wire and glass? Never
mind, I'm still stuck on that smile. Leonard Cohen
sings "Coming Back to You" and we all hope.
1.
My references to prudish Americans and jingoistic
Americans and prefrenchiousness are jokes. I know
that none of the Americans or French people who read
these recaps are prudish, jingoistic, or pretentious,
and I know you're all nice enough to let it slide
and not e-mail me about it.
NEXT WEEK ON THE L WORD: Soup
chef soup chef soup chef soup chef soup chef soup
chef soup chef soup chef soup chef soup chef soup
chef soup chef soup chef soup chef soup chef! But
she's dating Gabby. What the hell? Also, Winnie tries
to make a deal with Bette, and Shane 'fesses up.
