Lap Dance

First Jenny, now Starfucker's tolerable?
Maybe I need a lap dance.

 

Hey, lookit that.  It's recap time, again.
Previously, on The L Word:
Um, a bunch of stuff we already know… except for the snippet where 
CargoPants takes a picture of herself in bed with a sleeping, naked 
BossyBiceps.  I'm wondering if it was a cut moment or if they always 
intended to just sneak it in with the other clips.  Either way, it's 
shitty of CargoPants to do something like that.  Especially without 
emailing it to me, afterward.
Mendocino, California – 2000.  LadyRobin greets a small crowd of people 
outside a church.  With the choice of acoustic guitar and the 
architecture of the church, I'm having a brief Felicity flashback.  
Please, god, don't let there be any soft focus.  Whew.  Okay.  It's 
just a wedding.  Only, LadyRobin can't seem to find Claybourne, which 
must be her new wife.  Oh, there she is.  Getting down and dirty with 
Michelle Branch's evil twin.  We cut back to LadyRobin and it looks 
like the game of love just might be up.  Well, Claybourne, are you 
happy now?  There's something that makes me believe I'm not alone in 
thinking that lyrical humor is pretty damn funny.
Speaking of lyrics, it's theme song time!
This song makes me crazy
cuz they've gotten lazy
and keep using versions of
this in the episode
it's overused, 
overdone,
oversampled
and it's only, 
only episode two
ITHINK THATMAYBE IMIGHT HAVEA SEIZURE IFTHEY KEEPON FLASHING
ALLTHESE PICTURE ATME EVERY TIMEWE STARTAN EPISODE
Not that I mind,
that I mind all the hot chicks
I just long for 
my old Nintendo
scooooooooore!
The offices of the Lacerating Lesbian Lawyer.  That's on one of the 
framed clippings we see, I didn't make that up.  Unless you didn't see 
the episode.  Then I totally made that up.  Tenacious T's chatting with 
Jane Lynch, of Christopher Guest mockumentary fame.  Well, she's famous 
for all kinds of roles, but I love her in "Best in Show."  Tenacious T 
details on about her relationship with BossyBiceps, explaining how 
everything's in BossyBiceps' name, even the utilities that Tenacious T 
paid over the last seven years.  Meanwhile, Jane LLLynch throws ping 
pong balls at a uterus target that's hanging on the wall, which looks 
like some kind of wacky interactive display about menstruation.  It 
reminds me of my old playwriting teacher who always had some kind of 
Uterine theme in everything she wrote.  She once directed a version of 
"The Trojan Women" that, I swear, took place in a Nebulous Uterus.  
Tenacious T keeps talking, but looks a little startled by Jane's 
menstrual multitasking.  Tenacious T doesn't even really know why she's 
there, talking to Lesbian Lawyer of the Year, because she's not looking 
to end up in court.
We're "treated" to a punk version of The Ever Dreaded Theme song as The 
Lovely Leisha Hailey and Smoothie walk down the sidewalk.  TLLH says 
that Tenacious T just wanted some legal advice, so she recommended Jane 
LLLynch because she's the "Best Of" when it comes to civil rights 
lawyers in Los Angeles.  Smoothie groans about TLLH's Top Ten Lists and 
says that "[BossyBiceps] and [Tenacious T] don't need that."  TLLH 
admits that she wasn't really thinking about BossyBiceps.  Smoothie 
thinks Tenacious T might just need a lap dance rather than a lawyer.  
They walk to entrance of The Planet, but there's a notice on the door, 
stating that it's closed.  Now where will they go?  That's like 
shutting down The Peach Pit or The Bronze.  Or The Max.  Or Cheers.  Or 
Central Perk.  Or the Waffel Haus.  Or The Barrel.  Or Ten Forward.  Or 
The Talon.  Or Jaque's.  Or... well, you get the picture.  You probably 
got it after the first one.  But this damn theme song is still in my 
head and it melted my brain.
 
Back at the offices of L, L, & L.  Jane LLLynch explains to Tenacious T 
exactly why she needs a lawyer in a world that won't even understand 
why she gave up her autonomy in the first place.  She gets ready to 
light up a pipe, asking if Tenacious T minds.  T wishes she wouldn't 
and shifts in the chair, unconsciously covering her stomach.  Jane 
LLLynch immediately picks up on the maternal vibe, probably because she 
knows all about uteruses and stuff, and starts making a list of the 
things Tenacious T did for BossyBiceps: cooking, establishing a home, 
entertaining guests, offering up her womb to birth her child.  
Tenacious T seems shocked that Jane LLLynch knows about her enormous 
pregnant stomach, saying that BossyBiceps doesn't know.  No one knows.  
Except, you know, anyone with eyes.  Jane LLLynch advocates that, no 
matter what the future of the Poor/Tard relationship may be, Tenacious 
T needs to establish her autonomy.
Nirvana Bean.  Smoothie's trying to translate the coffee menu into 
Planetary terms but gets very confused when Counter Guy asks if she 
wants flavoring.  TLLH flags down Starfucker and Dana as they enter the 
shop, wanting to know if they can assist with the espresso enigma.  
Starfucker, in a moment of genuine helpfulness, asks Smoothie what she 
usually orders at The Planet, then asks Counter Guy for the Nirvana 
Bean equivalent.  She then orders a Toffee Nut Soy Far Out Frappe.  
Actually, she orders two, because she's ordering for Dana.  Smoothie 
notes that the TNSFOF sounds intense, but Starfucker's in the mood for 
it.  TLLH comments that Dana didn't mention being in the mood for one, 
but, according to Starfucker, Dana always wants what she wants, even 
more than what Dana wants.
SMOOTHIE
So nice.
(beat)
So lesbian.
Best Picture Cars.  A rockabilly version of The Theme that Won't Give 
Me Peace plays.  A Poor Woman's Piper Perabo works on a car.  Kit 
approaches PWPP, saying that Ivan won't return her calls.  PWPP replies 
that Ivan doesn't want to talk.  Hey, she even sounds quite a bit like 
Piper when she played Polly in Lost and Delirious.  Kit asks where Ivan 
went.  PWPP says Ivan's got a cabin in Idyllwild, but can't tell Kit 
the address, because that's, you know, private.  Kit explains that it's 
very important and really cares for Ivan.  PWPP suggests waiting a few 
days to let Ivan get over what happened and then just not mention it.  
Kit says it can't wait.
The CAC.  BitchboyJames is showing BossyBiceps potential rentals for 
Tenacious T.  One of them is a month to month rental in The Valley, 
which BossyBiceps reacts to like it's a flaming open sewer.  I happen 
to like The Valley.  If it's good enough for Mr. T, it's good enough 
for me.  On the wall behind BossyBiceps' desk is a HUGE piece of art 
that says "So Very Sorry."  I hope that's an apology about the Theme 
Abuse I'm getting.  BossyBiceps tells BitchboyJames that she doesn't 
care about the length of the leases on the rentals.  She's willing to 
lose money of it means that Tenacious T will eventually come home to 
her.  A man, who I assume is BossyBiceps' lawyer, enters the room.  He 
looks a lot like Mandy Patinkin and I briefly hope that Showtime said 
yes to a crossover show and it's Rube come to take BossyBiceps' soul 
because she's going to die, which excites me because it's always fun to 
watch the Gravelings to their business.  Instead, AMP just says that he 
got a call from Jane LLLynch.  BossyBiceps might not be Graveling 
fodder just yet, but once she remembers that one of Jane LLLynch's 
specialties is Separation and Divorce, she wishes she was dead.
Classroom.  Sandra Bernhardt writes "The Hunter and the Hunted" on the 
blackboard.  It's an actual chalkboard, none of this fancy dry erase 
business.  And it's actually Sandra Bernhardt, not just someone who 
looks like of like her.  I was beginning to wonder if they had a policy 
about only casting actors who resembled other actors.  Sandra tells the 
class that they have twenty minutes to write a piece of fiction using 
the topic on the board.
SANDRA
It's fiction.  Not an essay.  Not a poem.  
Not a stream of consciousness bellow of 
yearning from your soul.
She compliments a couple students in the class regarding their 
submission entries then chastises Jenny's "Thus Spoke Sarah Schuster," 
namely for its hubris and "overly precious bad puns."  Those are only 
okay in recaps.  Sandra sets the timer.  Jenny begins writing as we see 
black and white choppy footage of a girl running around a carnival.  
Once the time is up, Sandra orders everyone to stop writing, standing 
over Jenny until she puts her pen down.  Once Sandra walks past her, 
Jenny jots down the remainder of her thought.  I like this Jenny.
1983!  I want my MTV!  Bah, it's still the present and we're inside a 
church on the set of a music video for some chick band with a sound 
reminiscent of The Cure.  The band is actually The Organ and the song 
is titled "Brother".  Now you know.  NotIyariCarmen's working hard at 
assisting production when she runs into Smoothie who dropped by to 
apologize about the other night.
Ivan's Cabin, 1969.  This show really does have an Era Identity 
problem.  NotDragIvan rolls out from under a car, wanting to know what 
the Kit's doing there.  Kit says she knows it's not a good time to talk 
business, but it's now or never.
The Church.  NIC, sounding a helluva lot like Sandra Bullock, assures 
Smoothie that she's cool with Smoothie's "no relationship" policy.  
Smoothie says there's still no reason why they can't get down and 
dirty.  Which they do right there.  Because that's what this show it 
all about.  The band plays as The Charmin writhes and moans behind some 
yellow pebble textured windows.  But before things can get too 
exciting, someone radios for NIC to bring a battery to the set.  
Smoothie asks if they can hook up after work, but NIC's got to go visit 
Grandma NIC.  They can't meet at Smoothie's place later that night 
because of her roomies (TWAT: The Night. Deal With It!).  What about 
tomorrow?
SMOOTHIE
Nah, tomorrow I'm getting a lap dance.
NIC
Well, I could do a lap dance for you.
SMOOTHIE
I'd like that.
(beat)
But it's for a friend.  She just got  
out of this relationship.
NIC
Yeah, those relationship.  They can  
really fuck you up.
There's two important moments here.  One of them is that damned 
adorable lip biting thing Sarah Shahi does.  The other is Kate 
Moennig's line deliveries.  There's something to them that suggest 
Smoothie really wants more than just hot, hot sex with NIC.  And 
there's an element to Shahi's performance that says NIC knows what's up 
and is just humoring the "no relationship" policy for the time being.
Ivan's Cabin.  Ivan offers Kit a beer, which freaks Kit out because she 
thinks she pushed Ivan off the wagon.  It's non-alcoholic.  Doh!  Kit's 
awfully fond of herself, thinking she has the power to get someone to 
bow their sobriety.  Like, in Raising Helen, when John Corbett asks 
Kate Hudson out on a date, and she doesn't realize that ministers, 
unlike priests, are allowed to date and she thinks he's given up on his 
vows and she's all, "Go back to God!"  Yeah, I'm probably the only 
person that owns that movie.  Whatever.  Garry Marshall knows funny.  
Back to the lesbian show.  How gay were Laverne and Shirley?  I mean, 
come ON!  Oh.  The other lesbian show.  Kit rambles on about how 
beautiful Ivan's body is, but then doesn't know if Ivan wants to have a 
beautiful body, and then Ivan cuts her off, asking what she wants.  Kit 
presents the business plan, saying BossyBiceps will co-sign, but the 
bank won't give her the $75,000 loan with out a $50,000 down payment.  
Ivan correctly assesses that fifty grand is a lot of money.  Kit knows 
that, but this is her only chance to get this off the ground.  Ivan 
tells her to leave the plan, but Kit needs to go.
KIT
Ivan, is there... chance?
IVAN
You shouldn't count on me.
And we're segued out of the scene with a riff from The Theme that 
Wouldn't Die.
Classroom.  Sandra browses through the essays, commenting that one is 
very literal, another one has promise an a lot of detail, then asks if 
Jenny's is based on a true story.  Jenny says it is and wants to know 
how she could tell.
SANDRA 
The lax imagination.  You haven't  
transformed it into fiction.
BWAHA.  I'm glad we're learning that Jenny's a sucky writer within the 
world of the show.  Last season had me worried.  Sandra tells the class 
they'll all hear from her within ten days.  As the students filter out, 
Jenny stays at her desk, looking childlike with her plaid pencil case 
neatly laid out in front of her.  This is an interesting turn for 
Jenny, considering that she had no desire to return to school in the 
pilot.  Perhaps her new Rejection Wallpaper has prodded her to extend 
her education.
Fairbanks/Fucker residence.  Sporfle.  Dana's pacing in her robe, 
throwing stuff into the closet while Starfucker sets up the wet bar.  
Dana wants to know why they have to have her parents over.  Starfucker 
explains that they want them in the wedding, they want them in the 
wedding photos and they wants Dana's father to give Dana away.  Dana's 
worried that he'll just disown her.  Starfucker points out that Mr. and 
Mrs. Faribanks already know they're getting married and haven't 
disowned them, yet.
STARFUCKER
Pookie, the worst they can do, is refuse 
to acknowledge us, which is pretty much 
what they're doing already, right?
She pushes Dana's hair back out of her face, telling her to go get 
ready and let her take care of everything else.  I really hate this 
scene.  Not because it's Starfucker/Dana, but because, in this moment, 
I LIKE Starfucker.  I think we're being given a glimpse of the 
Starfucker that Dana sees.  Then again, I do realize that Starfucker's 
profession is PR and she's good at her job.  She knows what to say and 
how to say it to get people to feel good about their decisions.  So, 
I'm wary of her sincerity.  But the performance by Meredith McGeachie 
is spot on, because it really does make me question whether 
Starfucker's living up to her namesake or if she's just annoying to 
everyone but Dana.  And I just realized that Starfucker fits yet 
another profile of one of WDK's exes.  Oy vey.  
Apartment of BossyBiceps' discarded lovers.  TLLH is trying to clear 
away Tenacious T's mess of strewn clothes and shoes, almost tripping 
over a pair as she rushes to answer the door.  It's BossyBiceps, who 
barges in asking where Tenacious T is.  TLLH says she's at work with 
Oscar.  BB wants to know if TLLH was aware of TT's LLLawyer.  TLLH says 
that TT didn't hire one, she just went for a consultation.  BB runs 
through a list of things she has to provide to Jane LLLynch: bank 
statements, an appraisal on the house, a list of her assets.  She 
doesn't think this is just a consultation.  TLLH just thought TT could 
just some options because she doesn't have any money.  BB shouts a 
string of "fuck you's" at TLLH for suggesting TT go to Jane LLLynch.  
For a moment, I think that TLLH and BB are going to have sex, because 
last time people said "fuck you" it amounted to literal translation.  
Instead, BB plays the "I thought you were my friend not hers" game.  
TLLH wants BB to know that she's still her friend but she thinks that 
BB can be cruel, and she remembers because she's "been there."
BOSSYBICEPS
That's low.  You and I dated for six weeks.   
It was never going to go anywhere.  I did 
us both a favor.
TLLH says that Tenacious T's hurting.  And she's really kind of like to 
have her apartment back to herself.  This pisses BossyBiceps off, 
throwing her into a rant about how TLLH can judge her all she wants, 
she make her the bad guy because she deserves it, but she shouldn't 
interfere with her life "like that."  Fuck me.  And not in the 
invitational sense.  You go off and conduct and affair with Little Miss 
"I Can Build Things," therefore fucking up a seven year relationship, 
and yell at YOUR friends for not patting you on the back and telling 
you it'll all be okay?  I'm not the most righteous recapper in the boat 
when it comes to relationships, but BossyBiceps?  You've dropped beyond 
low.  I like Jenny more than I like you.  HELL, I like Starfucker more 
than I like you, right now.  TLLH, however, feels bad and apologizes 
saying she didn't mean to cross any lines.
Oh look, it's my new best friend.  Ouch.  That hurt me.  Okay, it's my 
newly non-least liked character, Starfucker.  And she's toasting to 
Dana's success with Dana and Mr. and Mrs. Fairbanks.  Mrs. Fairbanks 
comments on her drink, asking if it's a Skinny Russian.  Starfucker 
says that she "knew" it was her drink.  Dana says that Starfucker's the 
one who's really responsible for her success because she landed her a 
deal with GM.  I'm noticing that they're no longer wearing matching 
outfits.  Yes, they're both in pantsuits, but they're totally different 
cuts and colors.  Hmmm...  Starfucker proceeds to work the family PR, 
complimenting both Dana and her mom on being, well, perfect women.  
Starfucker then brings up the wedding, saying that they want the 
Fairbanks' blessing.  Daddy Fairbanks doesn't know what different that 
makes.  Dana says it would mean a lot.  Dana's mom doesn't understand, 
because they're both such pretty girls who would have no trouble 
finding Mr. Right.  Dana angrily says that they never listen, but 
Starfucker calms her down.  Again with the seeming sincerity!  If I 
start erecting "I Heart Starfucker" websites, you have my permission to 
slap me.  Starfucker launched into some story about Baird, a real 
estate lawyer guy who was very much in love with her.  But, every 
night, Starfucker would wake up crying until Baird found her like that, 
got down on one knee and said, "[Starfucker], will you not marry me?"  
Well, that's what I've been wishing for Dana to do all hiatus.  And 
then Baird gave her five dollars for a cab and told her not to let the 
door hit her ass on the way out.  Or maybe he said some flowery crap 
about following your heart.  Whatever.  Baird's totally not real, 
anyway.  Starfucker's playing them like a Nintendo 64 in a dorm room on 
a snowy night in 1998.  But Mom and Pop Fairbanks buy it and they all 
participate in a group hug.  All my wavering Starfucker hate is 
reinstated when we see her "HAHA!  Got you now, suckers!" face.  I 
think.  She's still evil.  Right?
Nirvana Bean.  Everyone is gay.  Tenacious T wants to know if she's 
really saving the environment by ordering something that claims to, 
well, save the environment.  TLLH orders the same Toffee Gold Digger 
Special Latte that Starfucker had last time.  Smoothie warns her that 
it's lethal and TLLH wishes it had killed Starfucker when she drank it.  
Smoothie thinks that's a little harsh, but TLLH says she doesn't trust 
Starfucker and thinks Dana should get a pre-nup.  Tenacious T 
recommends she go see Jane LLLynch, and TLLH tells them about how 
BossyBiceps jumped down her throat about the LLLawyer business.  
Smoothie says she can't blame her, even when Tenacious T explains that 
BossyBiceps isn't exactly innocent and that she just needs to find her 
own feet (even though she can't see them).  Smoothie understands but 
thinks that involving the LLLaw will just make things messy.
Jenny's temporary residence.  Speaking of Jenny and the places she's 
lived:  I currently work in an appraisal office and I had to draw some 
sketches based on the house plans and there was this garage that had 
the option of being converted into an office and I didn't know which 
option the homeowners had chosen so I had to call the lender and ask 
them about the "Garage office space" and force myself not to follow it 
with "That Tim built."  That it all.  Jenny and LadyRobin are sitting 
on the steps, talking about Jenny's writing class.  Without any real 
motivation, they jump up and get in the car, talking about LadyRobin's 
friends, which must mean that they're going to visit them.  Jenny asks 
if all LadyRobin's friends are couples.  Yes.  Okay.
Nirvana Bean.  TLLH and Dana are looking cozy at a table for two.  TLLH 
asks if Starfucker knows they're hanging out.  Dana says she's off in 
Newport Beach, then admits Starfucker doesn't know they're meeting, but 
that she's not hiding it from her.  TLLH says they could have met at 
Dana's place since Starfucker's out of town.  Dana reminds her of The 
Rules they're trying to follow.  They both lie about how easy it is for 
them to avoid finding each other attractive.  As they talk, they both 
lean closer to each other.  In the end, I think cheating must be 
totally okay if it's this damn adorable.
World Dance Remix of THE THEME from 'ell as we transition to... Baby 
Ling Ling.  Aw.  Babies are cute.  And, we're done.  Multi Cultural 
Lesbian Friend of LadyRobin's #1 asks Jenny if she wants kids.  Oh god.  
Jenny should not have babies.  Ever.  Thankfully, Jenny's not even 
considering that right now.  MCLFoLR #2 suggests that LadyRobin be the 
first to get pregnant.  Jenny, like me, radiates a sense of "WTF?"  
Then all of LadyRobin's friends start in with the TMI about her wedding 
that died before it began when Claybourne schtupped the bridesmaid and 
how they can't wait to marry her off again so that they can suck her 
into their crazy world of babies and knitting and childproofing the 
cabinets and don't even worry about keeping the liquor on top of the 
refrigerator anymore because you be able to drink because you're 
suddenly responsible for someone else's life and you'd better hope your 
kids at least like the cartoons that are moderately entertaining 
instead of crazy shit like The fucking Teletubbies which remind you of 
all the bad drug trips you can't take anymore because you have kids and 
get three hours of sleep at night if you're lucky and it'll be at least 
five whole years before you ever have sex again and that's only if you 
can muster up the drive to get it on while they're at school and you're 
on your lunch break.  Or, that's what Jenny's thinking, anyway.
Jenny's Place.  Jenny thanks LadyRobin for "the day" then says that 
they "need to talk."  Dun dun DUN.  She tells LadyRobin how much she 
likes her, and LadyRobin picks up that something's not right.  Jenny 
says she's not ready to be married again.  LadyRobin points out that 
she hasn't asked Jenny to get married.  Jenny feels like the whole 
visit to Married Friends with Babies Land was a set up, but LadyRobin 
says that's just how her friends are.  Jenny states that she needs to 
be alone.  In the self-sufficient autonomous way.  And then the scene 
takes that "please put forks in my eyes" turn and they break up.  Up to 
this point, we still haven't had any real canon clarification on how 
long it's been since the end of season one, so I have no idea how long 
they've been dating and, therefore, don't know if anyone's being over 
dramatic.  What am I saying?  This is The L Word.  And it's a Jenny 
scene.  It's drama galore.  LadyRobin asks if Jenny gets a kick out of 
sleeping with people and making them fall in love with her.  And this 
is the first time I really identify with Jenny.  Write it down.  Bake a 
cake.  It won't happen again.  Which probably means it will happen like 
forty more times.
Mandarette Chinese Café.  The gang (minus BossyBiceps) is having 
dinner.  The camera is on the Lazy Susan thing in the middle of the 
table and the actors are turning it as if they're passing stuff to each 
other.  It's a neat concept.  And may induce nausea.  Our gals are 
discussing strippers and lap dances.  Tenacious T and Dana have both 
never had lap dances.  Starfucker's surprised that her "innocent little 
sweetie" has never indulged and asks if she wants one.  TLLH asks if 
Starfucker would be okay with that.  TLLH, I don't think Starfucker 
would be okay with YOU giving it to her.  Sorry, hon.
STARFUCKER
But she doesn't want any one else's booty 
in her booty right now.  Do you, Pookie?
TLLH and Dana exchange glances.  Smoothie notices and starts choking.
TLLH
What?
SMOOTHIE
Nothing.  Just... DANA!  She's getting married.
Bwaha.
Outside, BossyBiceps hands the valet her keys and says she's coming in 
to pick up her take out.
At the table, Tenacious T says that she doesn't think she wants the 
first woman to ever touch her, other than BossyBiceps, to be a 
stripper.  This news shocks Starfucker and makes her push the idea of 
the lap dance even more.  BossyBiceps sees them at the table, grabs her 
food and storms out to her car.  Smoothie chases after her, saying that 
the whole situation sucks.  BossyBiceps agrees.
The Body Shop.  Sunset Boulevard.  Well, the exterior is, anyway.  I 
can't tell if the inside is the same.  Not that I've been there, or 
anything.  Nor do I know that fully nude strip clubs in California 
can't serve liquor and, therefore, you end up paying five dollars for a 
really small coke.  And it's a two drink minimum.  I've heard.  TLLH 
asks Tenacious T what she thinks.  She thinks it's hideous.  TLLH tells 
her to hold out for the girls with "real boobies."  Starfucker drags 
Dana to the stage, sticks a dollar in the dancing girl's bra, then 
passes a single to Dana.  STOP BEING COOL, STARFUCKER!  Dana, much like 
your beloved recapper, seems terribly reluctant to actually touch the 
stripper and haphazardly slips the bill in the waistband of the girl's 
thong.  Starfucker seems pleased and kisses Dana.
The Planet.  BossyBiceps and Kit are trying to figure out the best 
course of action for the loan.  BossyBiceps is willing to put up some 
art as collateral, but Kit won't have it.  BB expresses that she has 
faith in the business plan, which means the world to Kit.
Back at the Body Shop.  Smoothie's watching the dancer.  And she's 
totally wearing what I was wearing yesterday (white oxford shirt with 
the collar up, tie, and jeans).  We totally dig on a similar fashion 
vibe this season.  Except my hair isn't ALIVE and looking to mangle the 
flesh of The Unsuspecting.  HotWaitress asks if she'd like a drink, but 
Smoothie already has one.  HotWaitress asks if she wants "anything 
else" but Smoothie points out her friends and takes a rain check.  In 
case we've forgotten, HotWaitress takes this time to point out that 
Smoothie is a Player.
TLLH is in the bathroom, staring at her reflection.  Dana comes in, but 
TLLH tries to kick her out, saying it's against the rules.  But Dana 
really has to go to the bathroom.  TLLH doesn't think that's a viable 
excuse and tells her to hold it and go back outside, then breaks down 
and lets her stay.  Dana edges past her to get to the stall, which is 
bad news because they end up face to face with each other, about to 
kiss—until Starfucker bursts in, saying that they need to hurry because 
Tenacious T found a stripper she likes.
TLLH
WOW!  That's exciting!
TLLH rushes out, leaving Starfucker and Dana alone to be one of those 
couples who can pee in front of each other.  Again, I don't know how 
much time has passed, but NEVER WILL ENOUGH TIME PASS FOR THAT TO BE 
OKAY.  For me.  You guys, pee with whomever you please.  It just won't 
be me.
Planet.  BossyBiceps and Kit hear a tough sounding motorbike pull up 
outside and make jokes about ProRina's vampiric father riding a Harley.  
Instead, NotDragIvan enters with a cashier's check for fifty grand, 
saying that acceptance of it means silent partnership.  I love how this 
show just dismisses all the interesting characters once they get, you 
know interesting.  Kit is speechless as NotDragIvan wishes her luck and 
strolls out the door.

Nekkid Dancing Girly Place.  Smoothie asks TLLH what's going on.  TLLH 
says Tenacious T found a stripper she likes.  But Smoothie asking about 
The Dallas.  TLLH plays dumb, then admits that they kissed and wants to 
know if anyone else knows.  Smoothie doubts it.  Tenacious T gets her 
lap dance from a Hot Stripper who looks familiar, but I can't place 
her.  TLLH and Smoothie think she looks like BossyBiceps.  She does... 
if I take my glasses off, minimize the media player window to 320x200 
and stand in the kitchen.
Il Pianeta.  Count Choculatori sashays into the room, sits at the table 
and requests a glass of wine, as long as it's not California wine.  
Hey, whore, it's good wine.  BossyBiceps brings him a glass of red wine 
and says that she thinks ProRina liked her stay in Los Angeles and had 
a lot of good friends.  The Count calls bullshit and wants to know who 
she is.  Once BB reveals her identity, he reprimands her judgmental 
behavior (re: the ProRina/Jenny Bellybutton Affair of 2004) and wants 
to know if she thinks she's better than everyone else.  He says that 
everyone is capable of a passionate crime and everyone deserves the 
compassion to start over.  Kit "amens" that and BB asks about his 
daughter.  Buh?  He doesn't have a daughter.  ProRina is his wife of 
twelve years.  He approves the business plan, takes the check, and says 
he'll be in touch as he takes his cape and breezes back out the 
Batmobile.  Kit and BossyBiceps look at each other, thinking, 
"OMGWTFBBQ!"
Teh teh teh teh.  No, those aren't typos, that's the soundtrack.  
TEHnacious T is TEHouching herself until she hears BossyBiceps' 
disembodied laugh.  In her head.  I think.  This show would make more 
sense if Kyle McLachlan started investigating a murder.
BossyBiceps sits on her POORch drinking beer.
Kit sits on the floor of The Planet, looking relieved.
Back on the POORch.  Smoothie joins BossyBiceps and reminds us AGAIN 
about how she avoids relationships.  They discuss "sex with no 
emotional entanglements."  Jenny pulls up in the driveway next door.  
They invite her to join them.  She sits on the steps, placing a giant 
stack of newspapers next to her.  BossyBiceps asks if she's catching up 
on current events.  No, she's looking for a roommate because she's 
decided to keep the house.  But she doesn't know how to filter out the 
crazies.  Smoothie asks if the potential roomie would have a room to 
themselves.  Yep.  Smoothie's totally in.  Which means that Smoothie 
and Jenny will either end up doing each other or both doing the same 
girl.  Or that Jenny will be murdered by Smoothie's hair while she 
sleeps.  Sex and violence, baby.  That's what sells.
See you next time.
