The C.A.C. — Bette meets Leo Herrera the fundraiser guy. He says they've met before, but she has no recollection of meeting him, and I love the fact that she refuses to apologize for that. Leo says he respects Bette's position, but then he sticks his big wing-tipped foot in his mouth and says he met Bette's "ex" with "Helena" and that "they're so excited about the baby." She does the only thing she can, which is smile fakely and walk off. Well, she also could have kicked Leo's glasses right into his face, but that would be a different show.

Bette goes to her office, but doesn't break down — even though I fear for the phone she picks up. Instead, she calls Tina and leaves a message, saying that she "need[s] to have some kind of resolution before the baby is born." It seems like a reasonable request. She didn't even throw the phone this time — what more do you want?

James shows up with some money stuff and with a message from Alice, who wants Bette to be at The Planet for an "emergency meeting." Bette makes a sound that's a mixture of a sigh and a scoff, which I interpret to mean "lesbians are so high-maintenance."

James also gives Bette a catalog of Leigh Ostin's work. Ostin does mobiles or kinetic sculpture or whatever you want to call it, and I feel like I've seen similar stuff before. But I haven't seen anything like Leigh, which is exactly what Bette's thinking as she flips the pages to Leigh's picture. Bette decides it's high time for a studio visit.

Veronica's office — Veronica Bloom is swearing about the betrayal that is Marty, her ex-husband. I think we're supposed to think that Marty is Scorsese. It's all kind of blah blah, but the point is that she still wants Shane there, even though she wants everyone else to leave. I think Shane is wearing the exact shirt that I wore to the fall dance in 8th grade. Anyway, I like the part where Veronica throws the phone at some random assistant, and refers to "M. Night Fucking Shyamalan."

Veronica: "Why do people always let you down? No matter how much you've done for them. Don't you find that to be true?"
Shane: "That's why I try not to need anything from anyone."
Veronica: "I want you to teach me how to do that."

And then Veronica tells Shane to sit down, but then Veronica stands up and says "let's go out." Somehow I doubt she can go out far enough to truly hang with Shane.
