Kit and Bette at The Planet Shane at Veronica's

The Planet — Sharon Isbin is awesome. But all eyes are on Bette. Even Sharon's — after the show, she asks Kit to introduce her to Bette in six months. I guess we'll miss that, because in six months we'll still be waiting for season 3 to start.

Kit grins and tells Sharon she's a smart woman. Kit, you're dating the TOE jam guy — as much as I love you, I don't think you're in a position to be dispensing dating advice.

A woman approaches Bette and introduces herself as Alyson Palmer from Betty — "we performed here a couple weeks ago." Bette smiles and says "You guys were great," but it's about as sincere as the smile she was sporting when she found out about Leigh's girlfriend.

Alyson tells Bette that everyone's watching her:

Alyson: "This is so not a feminist thing to say, but there is a group of women over at the bar who have you meat-tagged like nobody's business."
Bette: "I'm sorry?"
Leigh: [laughing] "Meat-tagged: it means that they've marked you as a hot item."
Alyson: "Those girls are lining up around the block to get on your dance card."
Bette: "Great. My neighbors will love that."

As Alyson goes away, it sounds like Bette mutters "meat-tagged. eww." Haha! Also, isn't "meat tag" what you call the identifying tattoos that Marines get in case they lose their dog tags and get blown to bits? I mean, I know dating is tough, but geez.

Right away, another woman shows up and introduces herself to Bette. The woman, Meryl, used to be an exec at Disney, but now she's a therapist. She hands Bette her card and says "I would rather date you than analyze you. Call me."

Wait: Meryl was hot. Maybe I don't want Bette and Tina to get back together after all, if there are such yummy alternatives.

Veronica's house — Veronica's hitting the Xanax. Shane finds some other interesting pills and pockets them. But then she asks permission anyway: "You had some oxy in there... would you mind?" Veronica tells her to take the whole bottle.

Veronica: "When you come back, get into bed with me. We'll get fucked up and watch Funny Girl. Barbra Streisand movies have always been my tonic when I feel like shit."

But Shane wasn't planning to stick around. So she starts to go. That is not okay with Veronica:

Veronica: "I'm fucking paying you. You will stay here until I tell you you can go."
Shane: "Fuck that." [walks away]
Veronica: "You will do what I tell you to do. You will fucking watch a movie with me if I tell you to. You'll tickle my back if I tell you to tickle my back. You'll fuck me if I tell you to fuck me!"

But Shane's already gone.
