Marina’s bedroom.

Marina has just been informed on this morning of Francesca taking a job in Virginia to be the personal for Drew Barrymore.  The budget will be good and so will the pay for Francesca.  Francesca notices a sudden silence from Marina.

Francesca “Marina?  This is good news.”

Marina “I gather our Summer holiday won’t be happening?”

Francesca “I’m afraid not.  Let’s face it, I need to take this job so we can our dreams, especially yours, come true.  You didn’t book a house did you?”

Marina “You’ve been here six weeks of an entire year.  I’ve missed you.”

Francesca pulls Marina in.

Francesca “I’ve missed you, too.  But we still have debts to pay…which means I have to work.”

Marina “I know.  I just hope Drew Barrymore is not as tempting to you as theh prima ballerina was in Italy.”

Francesca is amused.

Francesca “Marina?  Are you jealous of that?  I can’t believe you didn’t find someone while I was away.”

Marina “That’s because I decided there was no one anymore.  Just you.”

Marina and Francesca kiss momentarily.

Francesca “Whatever you booked or reserved, I need you to cancel.  I have to take this job, but when it’s over…I’m coming back for you.  And then you and I are going to get away somewhere.”

Marina “Do you promise?”

Francesca “With this job, I should be able to take care of a lot of your debt.  The new chef should bring in more customers once word gets about how stellar the food is now at The Planet.  Not only can we take care of the debt, but you and I can get away to Antigua together.”

Marina smiles.

Marina “Antigua?”

Francesca “Antigua.”

The two lie on the bed with Francesca on top, the two beginning to kiss.

While romance appears to bloom a little more between Marina and Francesca, Lara is hard at work at The Planet.  There is a new chef in town and already, people are starting to notice the quality as well as the expanded menu.  Business is beginning to turn for the better.  Meanwhile, Alice hangs out with Dana and Shane as Shane is working on Dana’s hair for a new look as part of her new identity as someone who is out.  Other things, like the possibility of Alice being pregnant are discussed.  The issue is particularly of note as their friend Tina has recently suffered a miscarriage and now the idea of Alice giving birth and letting Bette and Tina adopt has been brought up.
As day turns to evening, Bette and Tina have wrapped up their group therapy session with Tina with being approached about becoming a volunteer and Bette soon heading off to see Kit performing in Los Angeles with special guest, Slim Daddy in attendance.
