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.
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
kissuntil 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.
