Tina: Bette, sweetie I was looking over the guest book in the hall and can’t quite figure out who Micheal Tanner brought.

Bette: T, I don’t know who Micheal brought why don’t you just ask him.

Tina: Okay. Hey, Mike I cauldn’t read the name beside yours. I was just wondering who you brought as your date.

Micheal: Tina, I brought my sister’s wife.

At that very moment Micheal’s sister-in-law was sauntering up to him.

Mike’s sister-in-law: Micheal, darling are you coming to you seat.

Mike: Yes, I just want to introduce you to AJ’s mother. Tina, this is …..

Tina: Helena Peabody!

Helena: Tina, nice to see you haven’t changed much. It was a lovely wedding. I see that you and Bette worked things out.

Tina: Not that it is any of your business but yes. Now if you excuse me I have to go.

Helena: Maybe later we can get together. You know chat about old times.


By now Tina was getting a little heated. How dare Helena show her face at of all places her daughter’s wedding. Knowing that getting angry would not solve anything she decided to let it go.

Tina: I’m sorry Helena, but I have far more important things to do.

Helena: Right. I bet your kids don’t even know that you were unfaithful to Bette.

At that moment Jaime, Graham, and Kate Kenter were walking up to their mom to tell her that their momma wanted her.

Tina: Your right. Helena our kids don’t know that I had an affair. They don’t need to know about it.

The kids who were stunned that a complete stranger would make an accusation like that to their mom. They were if even more stunned when their mom had admitted it.

Kate: MOM!

Tina: Kate, sweetie. How long have you been standing there.

Jaime: Long enough to know that our whole lives have been a lie.

Tina: Jaime, your whole life has not been a lie.

Jaime: Oh, yeah! I bet (pointing to Helena) that she is the ***** that you FUCKED!

Meanwhile Bette was wondering what was taking the kids so long to find Tina, that she decided to look for Tina herself. Then she heard Jaime getting loud and decided that she needed to calm him down and began to make her way over to her oldest son.

Bette: Jaime, keep it down. You don’t want to ruin…..

Bette eyes were drawn to what Jaime had been staring at. Bette was barely able to squeak out the name.

Bette: Helena…..

Helena: That is right Bette. I decided to come back for seconds!

All the while the calmest of the Kenter kids, Graham could feel himself growing more and more angry. The last comment that Helena had made sent him over the edge.


Graham: HOW DARE YOU! YOU…. YOU *****! YOU COME TO MY SISTER’S WEDDING AND START STIRRING UP TROUBLE! GET THE ***** OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!

Helena: (in the sweetest voice) Sorry, but I am not leaving. I will only leave if the bride tells me to leave.


AJ hearing her younger brother, decided to check things out. When she got to where the group was gathered, all she saw was Tina’s horrified face, Bette crying, Jaime looking like he was going to kill someone, Kate whimpering and Graham wringing his hands.


Jaime: Ugh.. what is going on?

Helena: Just having a little discussion.

Graham: Shut-up you stupid *****. AJ she is saying that she had an affair with mom.

AJ: Mom, is it true?

Tina looks up with tears in her eyes.

Tina: Yes.

AJ: Okay. Well Jaime & Graham could please escort her out. I don’t want her here.

Jaime & Graham: Yeah, no problem.

AJ: Now if you will excuse me, I have guest to attend to.
