by Stacy Turner Sunday, March 27 at 10 PM EST The opening scene shows Kit and Benjamin out to lunch. Benjamin tells her that he usually doesn’t cross the line and spend time with students outside of class. He tells her that he really appreciates her spending time with him since he travels so much that he doesn’t get to see his family. They leave the restaurant and as they are saying goodbye Benjamin leans in and kisses Kit. She breaks off the kiss and tells him that she has to go. It then cuts to them fumbling into bed as they are about to have sex. Alice is helping Tina unpack and move her belongings into her new apartment. A song that they both like comes on the radio and they start dancing around. Alice grabs the hammer and pretends that it is a guitar and starts playing it, while Tina pretends to be a fan in the audience. Alice jumps off the couch in true rock star fashion and falls on the floor. When she gets up she notices that Helena is standing in the apartment and the girls both stop. Helena drops off some paperwork and then leaves. As soon as she is out the door Alice asks if they are sleeping together. Tina tells her no and that she probably doesn’t even like her like that, but Alice knows that she does. Jenny and Shane are sitting at their kitchen table talking about Carmen. Mark is at the sink and he overhears them talking about her and he become fascinated that they have both dated Carmen. He then asks Shane how she gets so many girls, to which she tells him that you just have to listen. Mark tells Shane that she should show Jenny, to which she tells him that she doesn’t have sex with her roommates. Dana is sitting at the planet and it looks like she is waiting for someone. Alice walks in and Dana looks really happy to see her. She tells Alice that Tonya is only going to be gone for a few hours at a meeting and then asks if they can go back to Alice’s apartment. Alice sits down and tells Dana that she isn’t going to sneak around with her anymore. Dana looks somewhat confused and hurt and asks Alice what happened. Alice tells her that she doesn’t want to be her secret lover, and if she wants to be with her then she needs to leave Tonya. Dana tells her that she can’t leave her yet because Tonya set up this huge event for her. Alice gets upset and walks away, but Dana calls her back to the table. Alice looks really annoyed but Dana holds her hand and tells her that she really wants to be with her. Alice asks if she will break up with Tonya after the tournament and Dana says yes. Dana then slips her foot out from her shoe and starts to play footsie with Alice. Tina is outside her apartment getting things out of boxes and Bette walks up. Bette asks if she can come inside but Tina tells her that she doesn’t feel like having any company and wants to know if she came over for any particular reason. Bette tells her that she wants to be involved in the babies life since it’s technically their baby. Tina tells her that she has to think about it and goes inside her apartment. Jenny and Shane are having a little get together at their house. Carmen and Shane are in the kitchen and they begin to flirt. Jenny walks in on them and looks somewhat disappointed. She precedes to tell them that Mark is in the living room filming their friends. They all walk out there and Mark starts asking all the girls if they would kiss a guy for a million dollars. Most of the girls say yes, and even Mark says that he would kiss another guy for less than a million dollars. He then asks Carmen if she would kiss two friends at the same time and she says no. Shane goes and sits down next to a girl and they start kissing. Carmen looks up and spots them and asks Jenny to go get some more beer with her. Bette is at an art gallery looking at an exhibit and Helena and some other people walk up with her. She congratulates Bette on getting someone to help do a fundraiser for the CAC. We then cut to Bette driving up the a large house. Her boss Franklin walks out the door and asks her why she is there. Bette asks why he hired someone to do a fundraiser when it strictly goes against her contract. He tells her to schedule a meeting so they can discuss it later. Bette gets in the car and drives off upset. She calls Tina and asks if she can talk. Bette begins to tell Tina about the fundraiser, and tells her that Helena was responsible for it. She then asks if they are sleeping together, but Tina won’t tell her. Bette tells her not to get involved with Helena because she is bad news. Tina tells her that she can’t control her and hangs up. Dana is loading bags into her car for her trip with Tonya to La Hoya for her tournament. Tonya walks up and tells her that she has to call a few people then they can leave. As Dana is waiting her cell phone rings, and it’s Alice. Dana tells Alice that she hasn’t told her yet and she needs to stop pressuring her. Tonya overhears and asks who she is talking to and Dana tells her that it’s her mom. Tonya goes back to talking on her phone and Dana tells Alice that she will call her later. Shane is at home and there is a knock at the door. When she opens it there is a delivery woman with flowers for Shane. The women tells Shane that she should put them in water and follows her into the house. When they get into the kitchen they start to kiss and wind up having sex. We see Mark is filming this whole encounter. Jenny goes to speak with her writing teacher while she is working out. She tells Jenny that she is getting better at being descriptive but she has to remember that she is not the character. She asks Jenny if she has read any of her books for her early days to which she says that she has read all her books. Her professor says that she can tell and that she doesn’t want Jenny trying to write like her. She gives Jenny an assignment and tells her that she can’t speak for a whole day and then must report back to her about what it was like. Alice and Shane go to La Hoya to see Dana. As they are walking down the hallway Alice tells Shane that she has to talk with Dana about breaking up with Tonya. Shane tells her that she just needs to calm down and talk with her later. As they round the corner they see Tonya and Alice pulls Shane back. Tonya goes down the hallway and Shane realizes that they don’t even know that they are there. Alice tells Shane that she is going to go talk with Dana and if she sees Tonya coming back to call her. She knocks on Dana’s door and an arm reaches out and pulls Alice in. We see Dana who looks really happy to see Alice and the two start kissing. Alice tells Dana that she needs to break up with Tonya tonight or she wont leave the room. The two continue to talk and kiss until the cell phone rings and Alice and Dana freak out when they realize that Alice doesn’t have an escape plan. She runs into the bedroom and Tonya walks in. Alice pops out of the bedroom with a tennis racket and yell s surprise. Tonya thinks that Alice came down there just to support her friend and says that it’s very sweet. Jenny and Carmen are walking up to Jenny’s house and Carmen asks when the silence assignment ends. She keeps talking and then asks if they can go out again later when Jenny can talk. Jenny looks down at the ground and then Carmen lifts her head up and kisses her. Jenny then goes inside and starts writing a story. Mark is talking with the “delivery woman” and we find out that he paid her to sleep with Shane. She is somewhat hesitant about letting him use the footage for his documentary because she says that Shane was really nice to her. Mark tells her that he’d really like to use it and that he is even somewhat jealous. The girl asks if he likes Shane and he says no, but he is fascinated by her. Dana is playing in the tournament and Alice, Shane and Tonya are in the stands watching. Tonya notices that Melissa Rivers doesn’t have any water so she walks away to get her some. When she leaves Alice asks Shane to read something for her. It’s a script that she wrote for Dana to break up with Tonya. Shane reads it and tells her that she can’t give it to Dana because it‘s just wrong. Alice looks annoyed and tells her to give her better advice or keep quiet. Bette decides to go to Benjamin Bradshaw’s workshop with Kit to support her. During the lecture he starts talking about vulnerability and Bette starts to write down some notes. When it’s over Benjamin comes up to them and asks what Bette thought about the workshop. She says that a few things he said hit home like the part about being vulnerable. Benjamin then tells her that it has to deal with Tina and the baby and Bette gets upset because Kit told him about it. He tells her to go to Tina’s with some flowers and tell her that the cards are in her hands from now on. Alice and Dana are outside the locker room discussing how Dana is going to break up with Tonya. Alice says that she has a script and Dana reads over it. She tells her that she can’t say the things on there, so Alice tells her just to do an improv. Dana says that she can’t do it, and Alice tells her that she believes in her. Dana smiles and then walks into the locker room. When Dana is in the locker room Tonya walks in and they both tell each other that they need to talk about something. Dana goes first and gives a great speech about how she confused gratitude for love and that if they get married it will be a mistake. As they are talking Melissa Rivers walks in looking for Tonya. Dana asks if they can have a minute and Melissa says that she is shocked at how well Dana took the news. Dana looks confused, and then Tonya finally tells her that her and Melissa are in love. Dana looks shocked and Tonya and Melissa leave the locker rooms together. Tina is at the Peabody foundations annual dinner for the grant recipients. Helena is on the opposite side of the table talking with someone. She gets up when the conversation is done. Tina’s cell phone rings and it’s Helena telling her to meet her by the pool. When she goes down there, Helena seduces her and they wind up having sex in the pool. Bette picks some flowers for Tina and goes over to her house. She knocks, but there is no answer so she calls her cell phone. However Tina is in the pool with Helena so she doesn’t answer it. Bette winds up leaving them on her front porch with a note on it. Alice, Dana and Shane are all in a car driving back home. Shane is in the back seat and looks between the two and then starts to laugh.

Note: This episode was to say the least...weird. With that said, on with the show! Pat Benatar... Hit Me With Your Best Shot Alice and Tina in Tina's new apartment. Well, that whole thing with staying at home again in the guest room didn't last long. Ever get the feeling that something happens between these episodes that we just have to assume for ourselves? Either that, or it's a good way to inspire FanFic Writers to come up with their own conclusions. Alice <3 Cheesy Early '80s Pop. It's not one of Pat's better songs, but it passes okay. Stars... The Vanishing Jenny and Shane discuss Carmen and Mark interacts. Some of that mellow alternapop sound that makes for good background music as Mark and Shane have a meeting of the minds in front of Jenny. Kia Kadiri... Back 2 Love At the Planet as Alice meets up with Dana and gives a sort of ultimatum to Dana about Tonya. The song's alright, especially if you're into Modern R&B. Paloma... Chocolate Cake Jenny's place as Carmen's in the house (literally) and having beer fun with Shane. I wanna find this radio station that Jenny and Shane listens to. The song's alright. By the way, the song continues as we join Mark and the frienship crew. A quick political rant about the Republican Party occurs for whatever reason. I'm sure that makes Rudy Giulliani feel better. Back to the song though, as it plays well with the group of people at Jenny's. Ross Garboushian... Kemence Dance Bette and Helena have a quick chat as Bette finds out about her new consultant. Didn't hear enough of the song to gauge a proper response, but it works well in art museums if nothing else. Monistir... Life Is Long When You're Lonely ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!! Here, Shane is obviously set up, but the blonde gal looks nice so I can't really blame Shane in that sense. It's nice to hear a good rock song on L. Nothing against the array of R&B and Alternapop as I call it, but it gives more of a variety that I like a lot. Hipjoint... What She Is Playing as Jenny meets up with her teacher, who's taking care of excercise stuff as we go right back to the Modern R&B. I wonder if Hunter knows Mark or Gomey. Ladytron... Playgirl The setup of Shane continues as this Season 2 Soundtrack number (and a song I absolutely love, by the way) plays on in the background...and the Not-So-Dynamic Duo of Mark and His Idiot Sidekick, Gomey watch on thanks to the Hidden Camera. Gomey's a pervert in the basic nature. Mark has more of an intrigue factor in his perverseness. Quick Product Shot Note. Last year, Miller Lite was everywhere. This year though, it's Heineken. For the record, I'll drink either. Schubert... Allegro Moder (String Quartet in A Minor) This occurs as I'm continuing to laugh from the previous scene (overall weirdness aside, Dana's free now and that's all that matters). Helena has a get-together and this string arrangment plays in the background. As I've probably said before, music like this usually works well in restaurants and dinners. I probably wouldn't care to hear it much otherwise. Everything else on the show is score related and EZGirl did her usual decent job on that end. To reiterate, this show was weird and took a couple of viewings to comprehend...especially the last scene with Alice, Dana and Shane, featuring Shane's laughter. And that's the show for this week.
