Helena says she's happy to do it because Shane doesn't have any family, and Carmen's family is shunning her. Alice and Jenny reveal that actually, Shane's meeting her dad, Gabriel, tomorrow; his wife saw an article (written by Alice) about Shane in a magazine, and, long story short, it's time for a reunion.

Somewhere in the midst of all this, Lara rubs Alice's shoulder and says "Am I seeing you later?" — but you can barely hear it, and Lara's off camera, and the only way you know something has happened is that Alice suddenly gets up to leave. She and Lara say goodbye in a really announcey way, but Lara's looking at her in that coy soup chef way.

Bette follows Alice and asks if she's okay, and gives her a big hug. I think a hug from Bette must make you temporarily feel like absolutely everything is okay and always has been and always will be.

The bridal shop — Carmen's trying to figure out whether to go "total femme" or "butch it up in some way." Alice mutters "femme" in a kind of sad way.

Helena asks whether Shane is wearing a traditional tux; Jenny mumbles, condescendingly, "No, it's Shane, so she's not gonna do anything traditional."

Bette: "You know what? It doesn't matter. You should just do whatever feels good for you."

Carmen pauses and asks them whether she's really trying to marry "the most unobtainable person on the face of this planet." I dunno, sometimes I think Shane feels pretty obtained.

A diner — Shane is doing her thing, standing around, looking cool, dangling a cigarette from her lip. There's a guy nearby who looks almost as cool, but also kinda sinister. Yep, it's Shane's dad (Eric Roberts), and he stops her as she tries to walk away.

They go inside the diner, and Daddy-o tries to make chit-chat, but Shane's not really playing. Daddy-O says he doesn't like answering questions either, so he tells Shane to ask him some instead. She asks why he wanted to meet her; he says he didn't — his wife made him do it. They bond over their tendency to ditch people. Ah, families.

The bridal shop — Alice is doing that cat's cradle thing with a string of pearls. I don't think I remember how to do that. Does that mean my manual dexterity is in question? What a bad lesbian I am.

But anyway, yeah, cat's cradle. Vonnegut? Is this show really that deep? Right, left hand of the goddess, feminine energy, cat's cradle, meaninglessness. Who needs those six weeks of missing character development when you have vague references to fall back on?

Anyway, Carmen doesn't like the dress that Jenny's helping her with.

Alice: "Jenny, what did you wear when you got married?"
Helena: "You were married?"
Jenny: "Oh yes. I wore a beautiful pair of black Converse, a great pair of ripped tights with dirt on them, and then I wore a jean skirt, and then I wore this beautiful old ripped, stained, pink sweatshirt. It was awesome."

Look what happens when Max isn't around: Mia actually gets to act. It's funny and great, and you can tell that everyone else thinks so too.
