Tina’s flight has taken off and she’s able to see the bright lights of LA which she is leaving behind. She thinks of the bright lights of New York that she and Bette shared at Top of the Rock. She smiles softly at the memory. She can now say she’s going home. Home to her partner, her daughter and her city. She reclines her chair and closes her eyes. The events of the week are finally catching up with her and she’s ready for a good sleep. They screened both movies and received some useful feedback that has both teams making adjustments to the films and marketing strategies. She’d packed up the remnants of their life in LA and sold their home. She’d left her friends and so many familiar things in LA. Her world was changing and she couldn’t be happier. Tina is sitting in coach this trip, but has an empty middle seat. She stretches out and easily falls asleep. She wakes just before the flight attendant comes by to ask her to move her seat to an upright position. Tina smiles as she realizes that she is just minutes away from the loves of her life and their new life in New York. Once the plane touches down Tina immediately turns on her phone to see a text from Bette. “We’re almost there” and it includes a photo of Angelica asleep in the back seat of the Saab. Tina exits the plane and heads to the restroom. She’d fallen asleep so early in the flight that she didn’t have a chance to use the one on the plane. She also took a moment to freshen up before heading outside to meet them. She steps outside and is immediately struck by the bustling activity, warm spring air and urban smells that make up New York. She looks up to see that familiar blue Saab heading her way. Bette pulls over to the curb and hops out to great Tina with a big hug and kiss.

Bette: Welcome home T!

Tina: God it is so good to see your face.

They get her luggage in the trunk and Tina opens the back door to kiss the sleeping baby. Once they are all buckled in Bette pulls away from the curb. They catch up on Tina’s final night in LA and details of how she slept all night on the flight. Bette gets them to I-495, the  Long Island Expressway toward Montauk. They make good time and Angelica doesn’t wake up until they are well inland on the island and have take the South Fork split, Highway 27. Tina gives her a formula bottle and they continue on to the house. Bette had prearranged for the caretaker to have a big breakfast ready for them at arrival.
