Bette arrives for work at the CAC and glimpses Candace pulling into the parking garage. She gets into Candace's car and tells her to take her somewhere. The pair arrives at a hotel where Candace must remind Bette not to use her credit card for fear of discovery. As they make their way up to their room, Bette pulls Candace in for a passionate kiss. As they clumsily make their way into the room, Candace succeeds in getting Bette's shirt unbuttoned while Bette quickly undoes Candace's overalls. Candace pushes Bette back onto the bed, climbs on top of her, and pins her hands above her head. When Bette tries to reach up and kiss her, Candace tells her "You can't always be in control", causing Bette to laugh. Candace then kisses her way down Bette's stomach and the two have sex. Jenny and Robin lie in Jenny's bed. Jenny invites Robin to the opening of the Provocations exhibit but Robin reveals she has a date that she is not looking forward to. Jenny admits that she has a date with Gene, prompting Robin to admit her jealousy. They begin having sex and are viewed through the window by a stunned Tim, who comes to deliver the paper. Tina and Oscar find themselves in need of a plumber and a carpenter to help with a refurbishment project. Tina suggests Candace for the job and obtains her number from James. When Candace arrives, Tina asks her if she knows why she wants to speak with her. Candace admits her ignorance and when Tina details the project's needs, Candace breathes a visible sign of relief and agrees to participate. Steve Jaffe meets Shane outside of her new salon and mistakenly accuses her of sleeping with Clea. He tells her that he and Cherie are not comfortable with the idea. Shane runs off and arrives at the Jaffe house where she is greeted by Clea, who admits that she told her parents about her interest in Shane. Furious, Shane drives up to the house and runs inside to confront Cherie who screams at Shane to leave. Shane tries to reassure her of her loyalty and declares her feelings for Cherie. Clea arrives and spots the pair crying and embracing and runs off with Cherie following closely behind. Tim drops by to tell Jenny that they need to get a divorce. She agrees to meet with an attorney. Dana is overwhelmed with emotion at the death of Mr. Piddles. Alice agrees to help her arrange a funeral. Kit and Ivan arrive at the CAC bearing lunch for Bette. Bette questions Kit about the situation with Ivan, reminding Kit that Ivan is in fact, a woman and is madly in love with her. Kit assures her that the relationship is strictly platonic but Bette remains unconvinced. Gene and Jenny visit the aquarium on their date. They hit it off and after sharing a kiss at the manatee tank, go to his office to obtain a close-up view of the seals. While there, Jenny takes the lead and initiates sex. She begins to cry, which perplexes Gene and causes him to stop. When she breaks down sobbing, he agrees to take her home. The girls stage an elaborate funeral for Mr. Piddles at The Planet where they observe the scary similarity of Dana's and Tanya's outfits while Shane continues to leave desperate voicemails for Cherie. As Dana expresses her appreciation for her friends' support, she reveals that her and Tanya are engaged. The girls, needless to say, are stunned speechless. Bette picks a fight with Tina about her utilizing Candace for the community project. She declares it a conflict of interest and exploitation of her generosity. When Tina tells her that Candace seemed happy to do it, Bette calls Tina selfish and storms out of the bedroom. The next morning, Bette is awakened from her sofa slumber by Tina's racket in the kitchen. As Tina attempts to make a quick exit, Bette stops her and offers a tearful apology for her behavior, attributing it to the stress of getting the exhibit ready. Tina half-heartedly accepts the apology and coldly declares that the two have been out of touch for a while. Bette assures her that it will be over as soon as the exhibit opens. After Tina leaves, Bette begins asking herself what she is doing. Shane camps outside of the Jaffe house in her car and is told by a police officer that the Jaffes have taken out a restraining order against her. Jenny awakens to find Gene sitting nearby watching her. He expresses understanding about her mental state given the difficult situation she is currently in. When Jenny admits that he is the first man she has tried to be with since Tim, Gene suggests that perhaps she is not interested in men. Jenny disagrees and they declare their mutual liking of each other. Tim spots Jenny giving Gene a hug goodbye and angrily storms into the shed demanding to know who he was. He explodes at her, declaring their entire relationship a lie and suggests that she move out. Ivan continues her courtship of Kit who is deeply conflicted about her emotions. She admits that she likes the way Ivan makes her feel but at the same time, doesn't feel right about where the situation may be heading. When Kit tries to convince her to find someone who can give her what she is looking for, Ivan questions Kit about what SHE is looking for and how she can be so sure that Ivan can't give it to her. Bette continues her preparations for the Provocations exhibit at the CAC. She becomes incredibly distracted at the sight of Candace and tells James that she needs time alone in her office. She leaves her office door slightly ajar and as Candace enters, begins fiddling with her wedding band. As Bette goes to shut and lock the door, Candace comes up from behind and wraps herself around her. Bette turns to face Candace and as they start kissing, undoes her pants and guides Candace's hand into them. Jenny begins writing an autobiographical piece about her conflicting selves and is interrupted by Gene, coming to pick her up for the Provocations opening. In the shower, Bette experiences a breakdown and slides down to the floor where Tina finds her. As she helps Bette up, she observes how exhausted Bette seems and encourages her to fall apart later, assuring her that she will be there to take care of her. Bette expresses her need for them to try to have a baby again. Tina tells her that she needs some more time to recover. They share a kiss but when Bette reaches for more, Tina pulls away, kissing her forehead instead. Ivan arrives to accompany Kit to the opening dressed as "Ivan". Gene and Jenny run into Tim and Trish at the opening where Tim makes a derogatory comment about Jenny's sexuality. As Gene educates Dana and Tanya on the mating habits of various forms of sea life, Robin approaches Jenny. When Jenny discovers that Robin's date for the event is Marina, her and Gene quickly retreat leaving Robin to wonder what is going on. Dana and Tanya are once again dressed alike. When Tanya pulls Dana away, Alice voices her suspicion that Tanya was responsible for the death of Mr. Piddles. Tina and Shane encourage her to drop it and Shane storms off in a cranky huff. She goes outside for a cigarette and comes across Steve and Cherie Jaffe. As she attempts to approach Cherie, she is intercepted by Steve, who threatens her life if she ever comes near his family again. Candace compliments Tina on her beauty and Bette quickly swoops in to offer her agreement. The two are introduced to Candace's friend, Mikela, but the awkward situation is cut short when a board member summons Bette. As her and Tina retreat, she turns back and casts a serious glance at Candace. Shane finds Cherie alone in a secluded area of the exhibit and pours her heart out to her. Cherie tells Shane that her feelings were a delusion and despite what may have passed between them, she couldn't be expected to leave her cushy lifestyle for a kid who has nothing to offer. After saying goodbye to Kit and Ivan, Tina begins searching for Bette. She sees her through a window talking very closely with Candace. As Bette turns to leave, she touches Candace's hand intimately and in that moment, Tina knows. Down in the parking garage, Ivan serenades Kit with a rendition of "I'm Your Man" which moves Kit to tears. Jenny and Gene return to Jenny's to find Robin waiting. She swears she
did not know whom Marina was when she agreed to see her and was planning
on breaking it off anyway. She suggests that Jenny listen to her voicemail
which she couldn't help hearing while she was waiting. Jenny discovers
an apologetic message from Marina who declares her love for Jenny and
asks for another chance. Both Gene and Robin offer to leave but Jenny
asks them to stay. Jenny, Gene, and Robin spend the remainder of the evening playing board games. After the two fall asleep, Jenny sits and ponders. Alice arrives at Dana's apartment in the middle of the night begging Dana not to marry Tanya. When Dana asks her why, Alice hesitates but then kisses Dana. Dana seems a bit taken aback but quickly reciprocates pulling Alice in for a kiss that becomes very serious. Flustered, Alice runs off leaving Dana standing on her stoop. Shane sits in her car outside of her now non-existent salon wondering what could have been. Alice returns to her apartment to find Tina sitting alone in the dark.
Tina apologizes for letting herself in and while fighting back the tears,
asks Alice if she can stay with her for awhile. When Alice presses her
to reveal what has happened, Tina walks over to Alice's Lesbian Love Connection
chart. She takes a marker, draws a line from Bette's name, and manages
to write "CA" before being overcome with emotion. As she begins
to sob hysterically, Alice pulls her into a hug. As Tina clings to Alice
for support, her hands come around Alice's back. Her left hand is free
of her wedding ring. Rosanna Arquette... Sherry Portishead... Roads |
