"Tonya You are an amazing woman.You came into my life at a time when I was trying to figure out who I really was, and you made me feel so well taken care of.You had such respect for me.That I started learning to respect myself.And I'll never forget that.Or stop being thankful. But I think I confused it with something else.I know I confused gratitude with love.Which means I care so much about you, I care SO much about you, but but I know in my heart that we don't belong together. And in the long run, I think I think we'll both be glad that we realized it in time.Before making a huge mistake like getting married." -Dana That moment when Al and Dana really planned it so well how to break up with Tonya only to realize in the end they shouldn't have bothered. I love Shane at the back of the car on their way home laughing her ass out at them for the while the two were.That was my favorite scene this episode. Benjamin don't usually socialize with his students but he made an exception for Kit over lunch.Benjamin admitted with the kind of job he has travelling a lot and spending nights on some hotel rooms gets so lonely.Kit shared him few details of her life.She said that back in the day,she was just used to being hammered every night and getting up in the morning with a different man.Today,it doesn't mean that she don't need it but she just don't act on it anymore.(Uh oh,did Kit send an invitation to Benjamin) SO TINA MOVED INTO A NEW APARTMENT Wow,since when did she move out from their house? She moved out immediately? I think that's a good thing because she needed to have her autonomy as Joyce convinced her to.Besides,she seemed to be open to date Helena.I want to know was that the apartment that Bette rented for her? There was a painting "Lagrimas de Oro" that she didn't even like but she said that's the only thing that is not from Bette or off Bette so she would keep it. So Alice went to help her fix and decorate her room while dancing to the song "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" being played loudly that when Helena came to drop some paper works,both didn't hear her come in. She felt humiliated realizing Helena must have seen her dancing to the music for the long time before she got her attention.Boy,she did blush though when she realized Helena was amusingly watching her making some moves along with the music. At least she was taking things lightly.Helena invited her to the Peabody Foundation dinner for all their grant recipients. Alice was curious so she asked Tina if she have plans on sleeping with Helena and Tina doesn't think Helena even fancy her.Besides,she thinks she's not sure if she's ready considering her pregnancy too. Ahm,Tina remember that actions speaks louder than words.The first time Helena met you,the way she looks at you was screaming with " I wanted to fuck you right here" and you on the other hand had been blushing every time she talks to you or compliments you but it's okay.Take your time. I wanted her to start dating so that Bette will also start to loosen her grip on her and start moving on with her life and get over with her pain and guilt. BREAKFAST FOR THREE That breakfast where Mark bombarded the tow with questions about sharing the same woman.It got confusing for Mark to know that Shane was dating Carmen until Jenny dated her too.That's what you get for having a very inquisitive straight guy room mate but Mark is still a decent likable guy so I would rather have him too than the others.He seemed to be very curious but open minded. I do not understand Shane.It was great not until she pretended it was nothing when she noticed Jenny seemed to fancy Carmen too.She even encouraged Carmen to give Jenny a chance.Wow,speaking of self harm. WHAT'S NEXT That moment when Al can't be just the fuck buddy best friend so she told Dana she's not gonna be sneaking around.Dana told Al she would really love to be with her but the tournament was a big deal for her and Tonya had done so much to arrange that tournament for her.She promised Al then that she will break up with her after the tournament. Come on Dana! I want to see Al in action like this! JUST CHECKING IF YOU ARE YOU OKAY? (TRANSLATION: I MISS YOU! PLEASE COME BACK HOME) Bette went to check Tina on her new apartment to see if she's comfortable and all.Actually,she wanted to know more about the pregnancy thing. Bette asked if Tina will at least let her in but Tina said she's not in the mood for some company.(Wow,with Helena she offered to at least make her some Tea but with Bette,she won't even invite her in.She must really have been too pissed off) Bette asked if she has used Marcus Allenwood's sperm and when Tina said yes,she went on war mode again telling Tina she has the right to the child because it was her who found the donor and if they were husband and wife,that would be her baby.She express her desire to be part of the baby's life.She was also disappointed how Tina had kept that to her for four months that they were together.Tina told her she planned on telling her but she fucked off to which Bette corrected her she didn't fuck off,she just fucked up and that she never left.( that's a great free tutorial of the proper usage of fuck off and fucked up for me who's not a non English Speaker Bette is really bad with confrontations.We have a tagalog term " lambing" or "pagsuyo" that cannot be exactly translated in English because the original depth of the meaning changes when translated.The term refers to the action one does when trying to win back a person.It is a combination of passion,humility,love and desire.There's no doubt Tina was Bette's life because her life is obviously falling apart after the break up (with no closer by the way) but she doesn't have that quality to be the pursuer specially when she's the one at fault.Her idea of confrontation usually ends up her attacking instead of trying to win over. Tina doesn't want to let her inside the house,she's not ready to talk to her and she needed time to think if she allows Bette to be part of her child's life. DON'T TRY TO HOOK ME UP Carmen at Shane & Jenny's place drinking beer teasingly wearing a printed hanging shirt that says," everybody loves a latina" (Well,they are currently the sexiest body type) They ended pouring beer on each other in the kitchen that Jenny has to call their attention telling Shane Mark was recording again.Mark asked the girls who would like to sleep with a guy for a million dollars Mark: What about you? Would you make out with a guy for a million dollars? Carmen: A million and a half dollars? Ooh! I - I would make out with a Republican for a million dollars. Mark:What? Carmen: I think - I think that Republicans can be hot. Jenny: Take it back. Carmen: Why? Jenny: Because.Republicans are fucking scary. Carmen:Scary can sometimes be sexy. Shane: They're not scary, they're stupid. Carmen: That's right, and stupid, Shane, can be even sexier. Mark: Okay, but would you make out with a friend? Carmen: Sure. Mark: What about two friends at the same time? Carmen: What? Oh, two friends at the same time? Uh - no, I wouldn't. Mark: Come on. Carmen: No. Mark: Yeah. Carmen: No, no.Not for some horny guy's benefit.Absolutely not.I would not. Shane went kissing some girl on the couch much to Carmen's jealousy. THE ARTS EXHIBIT Helena and Bette met again at the CAC Art's exhibit.She was checking a painting WOMEN OF ALLAH when Helena went to congratulate her and same time informing her that Leo Herera will be coming to LA for six months to help raise money for the CAC. Bette went ballistic again after she found out that Franklin went behind her back again by hiring some fund raiser without consulting her. SO the logical way for Bette is to go at Franklin's house late at night just to scream at him for betraying her.She was so frustrated that she called Tina to pour out her nights of endless misadventures also warning her to stay away from Helena because she will eat her alive but Tina stopped her an tell her she's willing to listen but she cannot try to control her again.(Good Call) THE TOURNAMENT Dana and Tonya was preparing for the tournament when Alice kept calling her to which Dana felt she's being pressured.When Tonya asked who called,she said it was her mom! Lol! AT SHANE'S PLACE A flower (figuratively and literally) was delivered at Shane's place anonymously.Only the woman seduced Shane and they made out while Mark watched them.Turns out,Mark paid the woman to pull that on Shane just so he can record. AT THE GYM Jenny went to see Charlote at the gym while discussing about writing. Charlote told Jenny imitation could be the sincerest form of flattery but it's not the best when it comes to writing.She encouraged Jenny to find her own voice and gave her some assignment. SEX TAPE The guys were watching Shane fucking someone and Mark was so interested how she's feeling and trying to figure out what she has that makes women just fall for her.His friend doesn't feel the same way.All he wanted is to watch two girls getting on each other. AL dragged Shane to keep her company as she secretly went to see Dana in her hotel room.Shane doesn't like the idea at all but she has no choice but to play the supportive friend.Al asked her to stand by and watch for Tonya and ring her if she's around.Well the two kept kissing like they haven't seen each other in years! Unfortunately,she was backed too soon so Shane had to call Al to give a signal.And Al had to improvised a very lame funny exit. so I noticed the younger ones hang out mostly in one story line while Rachel,Jennifer and Laurel were also in a different storyl ine. Carmen and Jenny had been hanging out but Carmen finally had the courage to tell Jenny that maybe they should stop seeing each other and will hang out if she's not pretty much lost in her own thought.Jenny went home and ended writing about the RING MASTER,something I didn't understand but to what it seemed,she's aware Shane and Carmen had a connection and she can feel it. Remember the improvised sex scene earlier, Mark was planning to use on a documentary but the lady changed her mind and was hesitant to let Mark use her film for his documentary because she felt that it's not right and Shane was really nice to her.(Wow,she can also make a woman respect and love her in return after a one night stand) HERE IT IS At Dana's tournament,Tonya wasn't paying attention much to Dana.She was more bothered that Melissa Rivers was not being taken care off.She went to give Melissa a bottle of water while Al quickly asked Shane to proof read the script she wrote for Dana to break up with Tonya before she comes back. PURSUED Benjamin really was an effective motivational speaker that he gets to convince people,even Bette the most skeptical person.Kit was delighted to see Bette seemed to have gotten some pointers from him on the topic of vulnerability. "You've begged, pleaded plotted, screamed and flailed! And yet, you've still not got that thing.That one thing that you most want, that you can't live without! But! Have you taken the ultimate risk: Have you made yourself vulnerable? Say to yourself, What is the most vulnerable position for me? How can I put myself at risk to lose everything that I have to lose? Because, when you risk losing everything, you invariably stand to gain everything." -Benjamin After his talk,he went to personally meet Kit and asked Bette if she finds anything enlightening Bette admitted she finds some in the topic of vulnerability.Since Kit told him almost everything she's going through much to Bette's disappointment, Benjamin suggested she should go to Tina with flowers she picked and say she hold all the cards.No matter what she says,tell her she holds all the cards. Bette told Kit she doesn't want her private business be known by some stranger specially Benjamin Bradshaw.Kit asked her if she's going to do her assignment but she seemed hesitant Al meet with Dana to show her the script she made for her.Dana thinks it's the worse break up script ever.Turns out,Dana came up with a heartfelt version of her speech.She might not be good deciding or being the spoke person but she can use words beautifully. In between tears,she told Tonya she had mistaken gratitude with love and they have that dramatic moment when Melissa Rivers butt in and assume Tonya told Dana their affair and all the guilt feelings Dana had was replaced with confusion that all she could say was ARE YOU EVEN GAY? And the two went they didn't know it just happened and that love is love.I was dying laughing! How could Erin do those kind of humor where she was so heart broken and crying but when she reacted to both of them with that "ARE YOU EVEN GAY" LINE it was so on point! SHE'S LAYING THE CARDS Bette who can't sleep secretly followed Benjamin's suggestion.She picked flowers on her own and went to Tina's place but she wasn't there.She left the flower at her doorstep but I don't think Tina will see it fresh because she was somewhere spending the night with Helena Peabody in some high class hotel pool making out. They had the dinner and Helena got so bored that she excused herself and called Tina to follow her.Tina was hesitant to leave not knowing what excuse she will tell them but Helena told her she should never apologize and never explain. dinner with sex ...Miss P's version of romantic evening...Helena suggested they should take a deep but Tina was a bit hesitant because they are in a public place and she had never done anything like that before.Helena was amused to be her first experience. I think that Tina might be overwhelmed with the new experiences Helena gave her.With Helena,She was treated like a queen.She pay attention to her needs,she gives her orgasm in a pool and made her feel special,the center of her universe and that's something new to her.Something that's gone in her relationship with Bette after seven years. I think Bette has spent so much time being punished and punishing herself and it has been destroying her already.I mean of course,I do not condone infidelity and she deserves it.But seeing them separated is a fresh breath.It actually is necessary in order for them to reevaluate their relationship together.I mean it is easy to hate Helena for interfering in a frozen relationship but I think it is necessary in order for Tina to have a whole new set of perspective in life. Bette was punished long enough and she was being too hard on herself too because she has this high moral standard and she cannot forgive herself for what she's done.That alone is too much already.She treated herself like she's not aloud to mess up and be really controlling and perfectionist. Benjamin was right,she needed to be vulnerable and by that she has to quit fencing and chasing Tina and just let her come around on her own time.More importantly,she has to stop punishing herself and restart again.At least,she learned from that experience and that's the best thing of all. And the trio heading home.Shane so amused while the other two doesn't even know how to react to what just happened. The ending had me in stitches! I'll be like Shane too laughing my ass out all the way til home!
