Kit's having NONE of that though and screams back at her that she/and the
whole place are "self-appointed, bible-bashing, ANTI-WOMAN!....."
Creepy Nurse tries lamely to protest, and along comes creepy doctor and
creepy receptionist to try and calm Kit down and "talk" to her.
But Kit's ready to explode, she's so angry and hurt she yells at CreepyDoc.
"I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU COME NEAR ME I'll ABORT YOUR HEAD FROM YOUR BODY WITH
MY BARE HANDS!!!!!!!"
Which I think may just be THE best threat I have heard on this program to
date.
GO KIT!
She drags Angus out of there without even stopping to collect her clothes!
The music they used on this scene, with it's weird, pulsey sound made the
viewing of it even creepier.
Let's hope places like that don't really exist. But I'm pretty sure that
they do :-/
Cut to:
Shane pulling up at about 70mph outside Carmen's house.
She gets out the car and opens the gate to be met by (I presume) Carmen's
brothers.
Shane, of course, wants to see Carmen, but her brothers have other ideas,
saying Carmen doesn't want to see her etc.
They push her down to the ground and quickly have her running for her car,
with yells of "LEAVE!"
Cut to:
Max, going through the house to Jenny's room, to tell her it's time to get
ready.
She pushes open Jenny's door to find Jenny tied up by the wrists to the bed
head (oooh, kinky Jen!) and Claude straddling her with what looked
suspiciously like a whip to me.
Embarrassed. Max steps out and reminds Jenny it's nearly 7pm.
We hear Claude whisper to Jenny that it's time to get ready and Jenny
replies by pleading, "5 more minutes!"
Well, personally I think Claude's no Uta, but she's obviously doing
SOMETHING right! ;-)
*purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*
Cut to:
A small Liquor Mart, where Shane is emerging with a bag of stuff.
Oh yes. U-huh. VERY good idea that Shane!
That's it, top off the coke you had in dubious quantities earlier with lots
of alcohol.
Cause THAT will make you a safer driver and take the memory of Carmen away.
Suuuure. Utter genius.
*rolls eyes*
She then proceeds to down miniatures whilst weaving in and out of traffic
erratically in her borrowed car.
Oh look, WHAT a surprise, she's crashed the car!
The airbag deploys and some guy gets out of his car to come over and see if
she's ok.
Her face is pretty banged up and she's so obviously NOT ok, so he calls 911.
She gets out of the car and he tries to stop her, seeing she's hurt and
knowing she shouldn't move after a crash like that.
She ignores him and hobbles off, blood streaming down her face.
Oh Shane Shane Shane. What ARE we going to do with you honey.
Cut to:
Jenny, Max and Claude at The Planet, where Jenny is (unwisely, I feel)
reading out a review of her book from PW magazine.
The review isn't bad, until she gets to the end, where she trails off...
"Jennifer Schecter has written a wincingly acute, if shamelessly
self-indulgent portrait of herself...."
Self-indulgent? Try self-absorbed, weird, weird, odd, weird,
self-absorbed..... ;-)
Jenny, unsure whether to be pleased or not with the review looks to Claude,
who (in French) says "it's good!" and nods encouragingly.
Cut to:
Bette, who's moving chairs with Kit, whilst discussing her elder sister's
unpleasant visit to the Religious Right-On Women's Clinic earlier that day.
Bette is all for burning down the "motherfuckers" and their clinic!
GO BETTE! LOL!
Kit wants to go firebomb them, as they "don't know who they're messing
with!", but Alice thinks they should both calm down.
Kit's NOT in the mood for calm, and adds,
"I wanna burn that clinic DOWN!"
To which Bette adds, banging her chair in time to her chanting, "AR-SON!
AR-SON!"
ooooookay then. Best NOT to get these girls too riled up methinks ;-)
Alice: "Why don't you just do a benefit for Planned Parenthood...
I mean, it's something positive, it doesn't carry a sentence of 30 to
LIFE...."
LOL! Nice one Alice.
Bette and Kit look at each other and weigh up the fun of a benefit vs.
throwing Molotov Cocktails.
Cut to:
Helena at the bar getting drinks.
Along comes HETina (my new name for Tina) and Henry.
Unfortunately, just as they come and stand next to Ms Peabody, she leans
away from them to reach for some straws.
HETina: "Wow, are we really THAT untouchable!?"
Helena: *utterly confused* "What are you talking about?!"
HETina: "You just backed away from us - it's like we have some heterosexual
kootie!"
Helena: *indignant* "Don't be ridiculous! I didn't back away from you!"
Helena greets them both with a kiss on the cheek.
They briefly discuss their new boss at the studio then Helena makes a casual
remark as she leaves with her drinks, to which HETina/Henry both think she's
being anti-Semitic!
Jees! Get your paranoid heterosexual heads out of your straight-type asses
you two!
HETina comments that she's sure Helena backed away from them: almost as if
she's trying to convince HERSELF of the silly notion SHE just invented.
Tina, honey, you're either taking TOO MANY drugs or NOT ENOUGH.
Get with the program and stop being such a doofus woman!
Cut back to:
Shane, in her bloodied and bruised state, still walking along the street,
only now it's dark and we have no idea where's she's going.
I just want one of her friends to find her, clean her up and give her a hug,
bless her :-(
Cut back to:
The Planet, where, on the small stage with a backdrop advertising Jenny's
book, "The Sum of Her Parts", Kit gets up and takes the mic.
Ironically, as she starts to talk about the "woman they've all been waiting
for" etc, a small murmur of commotion is heard from the back of the room.
Someone has entered and is making their way through the crowd slowly, being
greeted by all and everyone as they go.
EVERYTHING Kit is saying about Jenny as she introduces her (e.g. "she went
away for a little while, to some she's a close friend" etc) rings true of
the mystery woman who is approaching, though we don't know who she is yet.
It is the elusive Papi?
As Kit's speech goes on, more and more people notice the closing commotion,
until at the very last minute, Jenny steps onto the stage to be greeted by
the crowd......
ONLY to have Kit, say, "OH MY GAWD! GIRL, WHERE YOU BEEN!!?"
And out from a bunch of people steps...
(yes, you've guessed it!)
Marina Ferrer.
Now, it's not often I feel sorry for Jenny, but, the poor woman is abandoned
up there onstage as Kit and most of the rest of the folks in The Planet
COMPLETELY forget she's there and rush over to greet Marina.
All the gang greet her, and ask how she is, where she's staying etc and all
the while, Jenny is standing there in the spotlight, staring at this
unwelcome ghost from her past who has totally ruined her big moment.
Marina halts their questions and tries to answer some they've already asked.
In her sultry accent she purrs:
"Ah ladeez, ladeez, let's see, ummmm
I'm here for business
I'm in Los Angeles for three days
I'm staying at the Bel-Air, because I think it's important to revisit the
places where you faced your darkest demons..."
(remember folks, that's supposedly the hotel where she tried to commit
suicide!)
Jenny, meanwhile is STILL standing up there, staring.
Marina realises she's entered at an inopportune time, so steps forward and
carries on introducing Jenny:
"Ladeez and gentlemen, please pay your undivided attention to the lovely and
talented, Jenny Schecter"
She even takes her (rather stylish) hat off and bows slightly to her
one-time lover.
Cue applause and now everyone is paying attention to who they're supposed
to.
Jenny looks like she could spit razorblades though.
