Memories — Bette unpacks some of Melvin's pictures, of Melvin and Bette's mom, and of Bette with both her parents, and of Bette and her mom. And there's a shell from Acapulco and one of Bette's mom's watercolors. The painting reminds me of something; I wanna say Matisse, but I don't know anything about art. I'll leave that to the fabulous Bette Porters of the world.

Melvin seems to be enjoying the picture show, even if he can't express that very well.

Dinner — What are Dana and Lara eating? Something messy: Lara says she should have worn her latex jumpsuit. Okay, somebody call Dominique and let's film that scene!

Dana: "I really miss our food adventures."
Lara: "You know, there's this Peruvian restaurant in Van Nuys I've been wanting to go to."
Dana: "I shouldn't."
Lara: "Training."
Dana: "No. Well, yeah, sort of."
Lara: "Alice."
Dana: "Lara..."
Lara: "Dana? I'm just talking about a dinner."
Dana: "No, this is a dinner. What you're talking about is a second dinner."

Lara just kind of nods; she doesn't apologize, and nor should she, because of that chemistry thing. Dana's cell phone buzzes, but she ignores it.

Can I go to the Peruvian restaurant with you, Lara? I love an authentic pisco sour.

The Howling Coyote — Alice is leaving a message for Dana, telling her to get there a little early because the place is crowded. Carmen sees Al and says hey as she goes in. Alice hangs up and says "goddammit" again.

Inside, Carmen says "Jesus Christ" as she sees the burly crazy crowd and the stripper on stage. She finds Shane.

Carmen: "Hey."
Shane: "Hey."
Carmen: "Nice place."
Shane: "Oh yeah. Did Jenny invite you?"
Carmen: "Yeah, she did. Have you seen her?"
Shane: "Nope."
Carmen: "This just doesn't feel right. I'm gonna go look for her. God, why would she want to come to this place?"

"Why" is always the question with Jenny, isn't it?

Carmen soon finds herself in the middle of a group of guys, and Shane gets wind of it. Shane rescues her, sort of, although we all know Shane's not exactly a threat to a bunch of bulky dudes. But she and Carmen laugh at it all in spite of themselves.

Shane: "Do you want to go out sometime?"
Carmen: "What?"
Shane: "Do you want to go out with me sometime?"

Carmen just kind of stares. Yeah, okay, this is the couple that causes me the fewest freak-outs, and therefore I'm happy for them.
