Bette: I just hope shell still listen to you.
Denise: From your lips to Gods ears.

With that the ladies sat and devised a plan on how to get Simone to meet Bette under the guise that they would discuss her show. Of course Denise would be there to confront her. Denise had arranged for a counselor to be there too just in case things become too emotional or too heated.

While Bette and Denise met Tina was frantically trying to find a new workout buddy. Dana would be going out on tour for the next two weeks and though she wasnt permitted to do her spinning class anymore due to her pregnancy Dana had accompanied Tina to her pilates class daily. Alice and Dana were at Bette and Tinas trying to figure out a plan.

Alice: Well you know I can go but you know its hard for me to do that low impact stuff. I really like to break a sweat.
Tina: Alice its ok. Maybe Ill just quit its not a big deal. I hate the fact that I need a babysitter all the time anyway.
Dana: Wait Tina I didnt feel like I was babysitting you at all. I looked forward to our time together.
Tina: Aw Dana, thats sweet but really it was unfair to you.
Dana: Tina, seriously, I enjoyed it.

Just then Shane knocked on the door to check in on Tina. Shane had incorporated a daily visit and coordinated a ride to work on the days Tina worked. Shanes involvement helped her to see Bette and Tina as a couple instead of seeing Bette as an object of desire. Alice noticed how available Shane made herself to Tina and hoped this would in fact help Shane sort out her feelings for Bette, once and for all. The truth of the matter was that this”seeing Bette and Tina as a strong couple would only help a little. What Shane needed was to open herself up to the right woman, an available woman. In Alices mind Shane made a hard but safe choice developing feelings for Bette. Hard because she and Bette are friends and she would be around a lot. But safe, in that she knew her heart wouldnt be broken due to any real rejection. She knew Bettes heart was with Tina, in other words no real chance for real happiness or real heartbreak. At this point Shane was in desperate need of a true chance for love. Alice shot Shane a knowing glance as she watched her cool friend stroll in.
