The Planet — Kit doesn't know what meat-tagged is either. Bette starts to explain, but another admirer interrupts and says she has a friend who'd be happy to be Bette's rebound girl. Get in line!

Kit: "Hey, that's not a bad offer."
Bette: "Does it have an expiry date? Because I think that I might really need to think about it."
Friend of Rebound Wannabe: "I'll go ask her."
Kit: [pause] "You're being pimped."

If it weren't for Pam Grier, none of that would have been very funny, but the "pimped" line made me snort. Thank you, Kit.

Cars are sexy — Alice and Dana talk about what they'll say to their friends:

Dana: "I dunno. That nothing much has changed, you know? That we're still hanging out every day and night; it's just that now we're having incredible, mind-blowing, earth-shattering sex."

They grin at themselves, and Dana does a little "yeah, I'm cool" expression that cracks me up. Alice checks her watch. Dana says they're early. So Alice pulls the car over and they have some of that mind-blowing sex, which from my point of view is also pretty damn funny. I know some people think these two are better friends than lovers, but I still say they're adorable.

The Planet — Carmen is teaching Jenny how to be a DJ, and is also flirting with Jenny. And again, I can't help but think Jenny's getting more and more appealing with each episode, and I like the way she teases Carmen and holds her gaze. And I love the song that's playing: "Mmmnn" by Grandadbob.

Tina shows up. She sees Bette, and looks uncomfortable. How can Bette look that great whilst just sitting at a table?? Also, Bette is drinking Perrier, not Absolut — again, I question the quality, but I'm glad she's not drowning her sorrows.

Kit greets Tina, calling her "Mama." She sees the way Tina's looking at Bette:

Kit: "Go on over there. She's getting rid of 'em."
Tina: "What do they want?"
Kit: "Filet mignon, honey."

Snort.

Tina's nervous, but she sits down next to Bette. They exchange civil hellos and agree to talk after this weekend. Ack. That expressionless thing that people do when they've broken up — it's ouchy.

Back in flirtsville, Carmen is teaching Jenny how to slide channel buttons and flick crossfaders. Yes, it's as dorky and innuendo-laden as I'm making it sound.

Jenny: "Should we do it?"
Carmen: "You want to?"
Jenny: "I do."
Carmen: "Okay."

So Jenny slides and crossfades and flirts, and thank god her flirting skills exceed her mixing abilities. And her fashion sense. Well, barely, but it's enough.

Just as Jenny and Carmen are starting to smooch and get cozy, Shane shows up. Carmen sees her and stops and stares. Jenny sees the reaction, loud and clear. Shane turns around and leaves, running into Dana and Alice on the way.

As Alice and Dana walk in, a spotlight hits them and Carmen grabs her mike: "All right, everyone, if I could have your attention please, there is a happy new couple in the house." Yeah, everybody knew, and we're all so shocked.

Dana and Alice do the spotlight dance (is this prom or something?) to a remix of Shirley Bassey's "Where Do I Begin." (If you like this track, do yourself a favor and pick up Hotel Costes Etage 3).

I love Alice's big smile as she and Dana dance. But I can't help but wonder whether some people in the crowd are thinking "Weren't we just here for Dana's bachelorette party? Where's the Ton Ton?"
