“A week, I can’t believe it’s been a week. And god, what a week” Bette thought.

Bette and Tina had made their way back to their house, there was nothing much left for Tina to take as she had everything with her in that one suitcase. Tina had explained to Bette that Henry had imposed his whole straight male ego and ideas on her and made her sell her car so that he could do the whole working thing while she did the housewife thing. Bette was shocked that Tina had agreed to it but Tina had explained that she was willing to take anything that was “normal” back then. This was just one of the many revelations they both experienced in that week full of talks, arguments and celebrations.

Bette and Tina both acknowledged that they still had a long way to go. For one thing, they had yet to deal with Henry. He had called Tina repeatedly but in the later half of the week, his calls had petered out. They weren’t exactly sure what Henry’s plans were but according to Tina’s understanding of him, she had reiterated to Bette that Henry would not give up that easily. In the meantime, they had had to put up with the rest of the gang’s joyous and exuberant celebrations! Alice, Dana, Shane, Carmen and Kit were all overjoyed that their favourite couple was back together. Shane in particular as she had lost hope when Bette and Tina split up, she had pushed Carmen away. Now, Bette was waiting for an opportunity to speak to Shane, to ask her to go get her woman back.

In between the celebrations, dodging Henry’s phone calls and having mentally exhausting late night talks, both Bette and Tina were exhausted. However, they wanted to go out and show the world that they were officially back together again. Before this, when they had split, Bette had been “meat-tagged” and Tina wanted to stake her claim. Bette also wanted to let everyone else know that Tina was back to their side as she knew then that if Henry cornered Tina anywhere around WeHo, Tina would be protected. Although not all the lesbians in WeHo might approve of them, they would definitely rally around their own kind. What better way for them both to accomplish this than a trip to The Planet? They planned on going to the nightclub to have a drink and dance.
