OH LOOK! It's BETTY AGAIN! *triple yawn*
Kit turns up to the recording studio and Betty are there tuning their
instruments etc.
Kit comes in and greets Nona warmly.
Btw, Nona is Nona Hendryx - vocalist, record producer, renowned songwriter,
musician, author, and actress.
You may think you don't know her at all, but if you've ever heard Labelle
singing Lady Marmalade, then you've heard Nona singing without even
realising it, as she, Patti LaBelle, Sarah Dash and Cindy Birdsong made up
Labelle.
Kit is so funny with Nona, going all 'down-home' etc.
THEN Betty come in and she greets them too.
Kit introduces everyone to MANgus, calling him her "boo". Awww sweet! lol!
Cut to:
Bette leaving for the Buddhist retreat.
The taxi is waiting as Bette comes out of the house with her bags.
Tina is standing there too, with Angelica.
Bette gives Angelica her dummy and does some cute baby talk to her daughter.
Mentioning it's a silent retreat, Bette tells Tina that she'll probably hike
down to the lake and call her on her cell phone.
Bette also says she EXPECTS Tina to put Angelica on the phone to her and
asks where Tina will be then.
Wow, are these two frosty with each other or what!
Tina says she was going to visit Kit at the recording studio.
Upon hearing that, Bette looks shocked and says "are you kidding me?!"
Tina asks what the problem is.
"The problem is you no longer have the privileges of being my life
partner..." says Bette.
Blimey, JUMP IN there Bette and cut Tina out of your life why dontcha!
Sheesh!
Tina, quite understandably says "WHOAH! WHAT?!"
Bette berates her, telling her not to "get all galled and affronted"
She reminds Tina that TINA is the one who's breaking up their family and
when Tina goes to protest that she's not, Bette simply states the obvious:
"You don't love me.....you're changing who you are and you're breaking up
this family - it's about time we got real about it!"
And it's at THAT moment that The Bitch On Wheels adoption lady comes rolling
up to greet them!
Oh frick.
We needed HER in the equation just about as much as I need a hole in the
head!
Tina and Bette immediately put their 'happy and everything is normal' faces
on.
"Hello Roberta!" Tina says sunnily.
Turns out she was in the neighbourhood - gay dads two streets over are
adopting a crack baby.
Bette asks Roberta, pointedly, if she's approving those gay dads
application.
Roberta, pointedly straight back, says that THOSE dads are a great family -
they've been together for 19 years and the crack baby will be their third
child.
The two women in front of Roberta AREN'T exactly a fabulous advert for gay
adoption right now.
She asks Bette and Tina how they're doing and the two women give an
all-too-hasty "Wonderful!/Fine!" back, complete with pre-requisite fake
smiles.
Roberta (as she's not a complete nincompoop) asks the two if they're are any
big changes on the horizon or if there's anything they want to tell her.
The two do admit to her that they are working through some stuff, but that
all couples go through changes etc.
Bitch On Wheels asks them if they are still intending to go through with the
adoption and both women DO answer honestly and as one to that, with an
affirmative.
Then Bette has to leave. She kisses Angelica goodbye (so sweetly!) and gets
in the taxi, with Tina telling her daughter to say "bye mama! bye mama!"
As SOON as Bette's taxi drives off, Bitch On Wheels asks Tina:
"Are you SURE you wanna go through with this adoption?"
Tina, to her credit, says of course and why would Roberta ask that.
Roberta, who may be a bitch on wheels, but isn't utterly blind and deaf,
answers that it's obvious Bette and Tina aren't "happy campers" anymore, and
what if Tina gets involved with someone else?
Tina doesn't think that's relevant, but Roberta argues that it's completely
the opposite.
Tina lays into Roberta then (yay!), stating that she wouldn't even be asking
these questions if Tina and Bette were a hetro couple.
Roberta STILL tries Tina to get to think about what she/they are doing, but
Tina walks off inside.
Cut to:
Helena waiting outside a coffee shop for Dylan, who then appears carrying
their coffees.
Helena's on the phone to Alice talking about meeting up at the recording
studio.
Helena must be wearing a hands free earpiece though - she hasn't got her
phone up to her ear - and as a result it looks really silly cause she's just
standing there talking to thin air! lol!
Dylan says she's so excited as they're gonna meet Nona Hendryx at the
recording studio. Seemingly she's a HUGE fan of hers.
Helena says she has to make another quick call - she wants to check she has
indeed got the private jet for when they go see this basketball match.
Dana's a huge fan of the San Hose Lightnings. (Would've been nice if we'd
learnt that earlier though. Say a casual comment in a previous episode? Or
am I just being picky.....)
Helena's planning to fly Dana and a bunch of her friends out to see them
play as a treat.
See?! All you Helena doubters who think she's still an uber bitch like last
season are WRONG!
ALL it took was the love of a good woman (who has a boyfriend....) and she's
totally changed for the better! ;-)
Dylan thinks it's amazing that Helena's flying all her friends out to this
game on her mother's jet.
(wish my mother had a jet.....)
Dylan also thinks Helena is amazing.
Ohhhh, it's like crushing on someone in junior school! *dreamy look*
Cut back to:
the recording studio.
Betty are backing singers for Kit and Nona. (Oh jolly good, even MORE
Betty....)
The song sounds pretty cool actually, all about transformations and
deviations etc
Suddenly MANgus butts in from behind the mixing desk, giving his opinions on
what would sound better for Kit etc
However, MANgus's suggestions dont go down well with either Betty, Nona or
even Kit.
Ooops.
He gives in gracefully though and so they take it from the top once more |
