Peggy recognizes MarilynThe wedding — Marilyn's getting ready to do her job. But there's a fabulous, beautiful, arrogant heiress who wants to talk to her.

Peggy: "I think we know one another."
Marilyn: "Oh. My. God."
Peggy: "1974."

Yeeeesssssss.

Bette finds Tina and says she's been looking for her all day.

Tina: "Why? So you can take my daughter away from me?"
Bette: "Tina, I didn't mean it that way. I tried to stop it, but I couldn't get a hold of my lawyer in time."
Tina: "Oh, your lawyer. Joyce Wischnia? That's nice."
Bette: "Tina, please try to understand. I —"
Tina: "I think I understand everything I need to understand, Bette."
Henry: "You're gonna lose everything. You don't have a leg to stand on."
Bette: "What, does he speak for you now?"
Tina: "No, he doesn't. Henry, don't."
Bette: "Please believe me, Tina."
Tina: "Look, I've changed my mind. I don't want you to adopt my daughter. Henry and I are thinking about starting a family, and we want Angelica to be a full part of that."
Bette: "Don't do this. I'm warning you."

Okay. First, Bette, you were wrong to ever create this situation in the first place. Second, Henry, shut up. Third, Tina, you're evil: not only are you writing Bette off without at least trying to work it out, but you're just using stupid Henry. First you tell him to shut up, and then you say you're going to start a family with him? It's the Tina show, and Bette and I are pretty damn tired of living in it.

Also, if the Great Northern Porter says she's warning you, you should back the hell down.

Carmen and her Mama make their entrance. Mama looks amazing in her fuzzy hat, and Carmen could melt all the snow in Canada with that smile.

But Alice stops them. Yes, it's the worst news you could get. Marilyn interrupts to say she's just heard from Shane.

Alice: [to Carmen] "She said that she doesn't expect you to forgive her, she, um... she's not proud of this, it's just who she is."

Carmen is left at the alterMarilyn continues, saying that Shane apologizes to everyone and hopes they'll all forgive her someday.

Some of them will. Some of them won't. I know I won't forgive the writers for giving Shane a soul and then snatching it away again.

Everybody gathers around Carmen, but it just generally sucks and everybody hates it. After they've all gone, Carmen says she just wants to go home and be with her family. Mama nods.
