ORIGINAL AIR DATE:U.S.20080127(Showtime)
While enrolled in a self-defence class with Kit, the gang discusses plans to attend the opening of SheBar, a rival new lesbian club competing with The Planet, which is still temporarily closed. Bette hears for the first time that Tina is dating Brenda, an attractive heart surgeon.
經歷了那場持槍搶劫浩劫後,大家陪著Kit一起去上防身術課程,女人嘛,從頭到尾就一直在吱吱喳喳那個即將開幕,叫做「SheBar」的T吧;Bette就「順便不小心」聽到了Tina正跟她的「開心小醫師」(就心臟外科醫師啊!不就是開心小醫師嗎XD)淫聲穢語打得火熱的消息,酸溜溜的冒了句:「妳們第一次見面就上床喔!」這句話很顯然地有讓同時也在場的Jodi「感受到」。
Alice receives a menacing visit from a pair of condescending military investigators who bully their way into her apartment, searching for signs of her relationship with Tasha. Alice is left shaken and enraged, inspiring Tasha to confront her lackluster legal defender Beech, whose reluctance to get more involved than necessary begins to diminish.
Alice皮賽克小姐的公寓來了兩個非常不友善的客人-嗯的,就是之前說過的「軍隊同志調查局」的法西斯幹員呢-直衝衝進了她家四處搜尋她跟Tasha的有的沒的。原本該跟Alice沒太大關係的軍律事件,在此押下了一個轉折。
Bette handles a complaint from a student who claims to have been traumatized by a work of violent performance art in Jodi's classroom, but Jodi dismisses the charge as overwrought. Meanwhile, she and Bette's romantic relationship is still strained in the wake of their truncated weekend getaway to the lake.
Jodi的課程遭到一個「用看的就覺得很歇斯底里的」學生的申訴,說是課程上被一枝用滑石雕出來的槍抵著頭讓她受到莫大的驚嚇,怎樣都要「貝特波特院長」好好給她一個交代!Bette頭真的很大,畢竟Jodi對教學有她自己的理想,而且老實說,妳也沒辦法說她錯,畢竟「藝術這種東西」哪有絕對的價值判斷存在?所以說啊, couple真的真的不要一起工作或者經營什麼事業,真的;尤其是當妳們並不真的擁有結構相似的大腦的時候。
Disappointed to be turned down for the lead in "Lez Girls" by an A-list actress, Jenny nevertheless resists the studio's pressure to cast a talented unknown, upcoming "Bond girl" Nikki Stevens – but she reconsiders when Nikki seeks out Jenny at SheBar and reveals a little-known personal secret.
Jenny那部片「拉拉女孩」的選角進入一個僵持,因為Jenny堅決拒絕讓Nikki演出那個「就該要更古怪才適合」的角色。但Adele趁著SheBar的熱鬧把Nikki給找來,Nikki也整個很老手的向Jenny做了些淺略的自我揭漏,動搖了Jenny。(怎麼這麼容易?)
While a self-protection-minded Kit shops for a gun, Alice and Tasha attend a top-secret party thrown by Hollywood power player Barry Burd, whose hush-hush gatherings are safe havens for those in the closet to let their hair down.
在Kit選購防身槍(這一集跟槍一直有關)的同時,Alice帶著Tasha參加了一個號稱是極高至上隱密,好萊塢未出櫃大明星們聚集的趴體;Alice的廣播電台天性使然讓她忍不住用手機在趴體中拍了張照,感覺呢...這也很像是押下一個轉折。
After days without sexual gratification, Shane begins to show signs of mental, physical and emotional distress – but an encounter with the debutante party-girl owners of SheBar may provide the relief she needs.
過了幾天禁慾生活的Shane已經開始出現妄想徵狀,動不動就看到(事實上有穿衣服的)裸女在她身旁圍繞,那個誇張度比她之前抱著Helena抱著抱著就啾上去了還嚴重很多;拜託,是啦!沒有性生活的時候大腦真的會比夜夜笙歌時來的清醒,但從來就沒有人說這樣不會產生「副作用」的好嗎?
但,天生擁有強大性魅力的Shane,哪有缺乏性伴侶的道理呢?所以啊,她真堅持不要有就不會有,要來起碼也來一雙!(噗)嗯,沒錯,就是三匹,SheBar老闆婦婦「一起」「解救」了可憐的Shane。
(嘆)然後我想起了薔薇小姐的那本書,《毒罌粟》,突然感到有點沮喪;
我想,擁有過較長couple關係過的人,應該,都懂吧。
關於那種「解決乏味與忌妒之道」跟同時「仿若沒有明天」的靜默。
Meanwhile, in a secluded side-room at SheBar, former couple Bette and Tina share an illicit kiss…
這個同時,唉,Bette跟Tina這對「前」伴侶,倒是在SheBar裡一個沒人的角落(奇怪了,哪來一個這麼空曠的角落啊?剛剛外面不是很擠嗎?)發生了簡短但凝重的對話。
Tina:「其實我在躲Brenda。」
Bette:「我以為妳們正熱戀著!」
Tina:「她實在是太瘋了!我是指...派對,夜生活,這種地方...總之,真的不適合我。」
Bette:「嗯,我明白。」
Tina:「妳真幸運,妳有Jodi。」
Bette:「嗯...對啊,我真幸運。」
然後Tina陷入沮喪,起身準備離開,卻被Bette給拉住,緊緊擁吻;在Tina的懷中,Bette卻開始痛苦的哭泣...
最後,我也想聊點別的。
這張圖片,是前兩個段落裡提到的,SheBar老闆婦婦向Shane伸出的手;
親愛的如妳如我,面對這樣的「大環境的事實」(過去),
與「看不見的以後」(未來),現在的妳,會伸出手?還是掉頭就走呢?
我嘗試著捫心自問,卻沒有答案。
