    ‘How do you know Quentin Gray?’ Tina asked.

    Alice blinked at her. ‘How do I know him?’

    ‘He’s texting you.’

    ‘I know he’s texting me. Why shouldn’t he be texting me?’

    Tina shook her head, her thoughts settling like a snow globe. ‘Is this the same person I know? Is he an art director?’

    ‘Well, yeah, he’s worked on everything. Well, not everything, but he’s—’

    ‘So he’s Quentin Gray? This person who’s texting you is Quentin Gray?’

    ‘Yes!’ Alice said. And Tina started laughing, and rubbing her forehead. Alice watched, a mystified smile curling her lips. ‘What’s going on?’

    ‘He’s the guy I want for my show,’ Tina said. ‘The one we’re maybe flying to Toronto to schmooze on the weekend . . .’

    ‘. . . which is why he wants to swap Sunday for Friday!’

    ‘Yes!’ Tina agreed. But then she frowned. ‘Actually, no. I still have no idea why he’s texting you.’

    ‘Oh. Well, he’s Nicole’s partner? It’s our turn to have Herbie Tuesday through Saturday this week. Jed wants to make it till Friday, cuz we’ve got a screening, and Quentin’s got a thing on Sunday, so I said why don’t we—’

    ‘Nicole’s partner?’

    ‘Yeah. Jed’s ex. She’s okay. Well, she is now. I mean, I told you about the whole “don’t call yourself Mom” thing, right? Like I even wanted Herb to call me Mom! What am I, a totally insecure nobody who has to get their—’

    ‘Alice.’

    Tina grabbed her friend’s hand. A tried and tested technique to halt the tide.

    ‘What?’

    ‘What does Nicole do?’

    ‘Nicole? She’s a makeup artist.’

    At this response, Tina pressed her lips together, trying not to laugh or scream as her eyes danced with excitement. Alice ran her gaze over her dear friend’s face. The Pieszeckian snow globe’s flakes settling a little slower. And then she got it.

    ‘OHMYGOD!!!!!’

    ***

    Tina couldn’t think about anything else on the journey home. She, Alice and Bette agreed not to tell Shane, or anyone else, just yet. But Alice said she was going to FaceTime with Jed when she got back to East 12th Street. It wasn’t like they’d never discussed moving east before – they had, many times – but it had always been thoroughly hypothetical as long as Nicole and Quentin had no reason to also make the move. But now . . . now, it was different. Now, there was an opportunity.

    1. So the family has returned from Scotland and is trying to resume their lives. Bette and Tina are so lucky to have Shane, Kit and Sonny available to take care of Ben and Sasha when they need to go out of town. I like that Shane is getting to know Jo better and now with Helena meeting Stephanie, maybe their lives will develop something promising for the future. And Alice and Jeb will be moving to New York soon, so the entire gang will be together once more.

      Since Bette did not see the Thanksgiving episode, she probably isn’t aware of Angie breaking the window out on the ex’s car. I don’t think she got that from her parents. Bette may have had a temper way back when, but she was never destructive nor vindictive. Neither was Tina. And there is nothing that justifies Angie’s behavior in that scene.

      And it greatly disappointed me that everyone in the episode believed the professor’s behavior unethical except Angie. Even Bella knew is was not right. Angie has a lot of growing up to do. And she is not in love… she is just lusting after this guy. But okay…. I just hope that the real Bette and Tina’s prediction that Angie has a cliffhanger pregnancy turns out not to be true. That would be the crowning glory for a simply terrible story line.

      Personally, I loved the engagement scene. I love it’s simplicity and the pure love the couple exhibited. What I did not love was the “whose idea was this first” discussion. I never liked the presentation of Bette and Tina being competitive with each other. I think that is a Gen Q trait and not as I see these two at all. Perhaps we will see these two many years from now when one of their grand children ask them to describe their engagement as see how they see this happened. Anyway… the episode was really good as it gets for Bette and Tina. And I was thankful to see it on the screen.

      Thank you for this lovely chapter and update. Next week is the final episode. We can only hope that we get something that is memorable and pleasing.

      • HI Martha
        Just a quick note to say a heartfelt thank you for all your feedback and support through this series of stories. I really hope you enjoyed the finale? I liked the proposal scene the more I thought about it. But couldn’t agree more about the professor. That was so sad, and also that Angie didn’t even dump him, he dumped her! So we didn’t even see her come to her senses.
        Aargh. Well, anyway, I hope you’re well and thanks again.

    2. With the exception of the Tibette episodes this season, I’m enjoying your story much more than GQ.

      Since the end of season 1, I’ve only watched Tibette present episodes. Your recaps of the other stuff was all I needed.

      Thanks for continuing this.

    3. Heya Largo! I’m way behind my readings but I’m going to start with your story. Chap 1 obviously ;)
      Looking forward to it, you know I like your writing! :) Going to comment more when I started.

    4. Wonderful! As usual you had me laughing out loud.

      Looking forward to your post on Episode 10.

      Could you please continue the Story after the Show ends.

      Thank you as always
      SG

      • Hey SG! Lovely to see you here, as ever. Thank you for reading my writing and for letting me know it made you laugh. That’s what I’m all about!

        I will continue this series after a little break.

        Stay safe!

    5. Hey Lady, :-)

      So sorry about the drama for Kit & Sonny, but that’s part of life.

      Looking like Helena may finally have found a good woman to share time with & who knows (besides you!!) where it could lead. Nice set up – hope it works out.

      I see Sasha is finding a voice – one that may get her in trouble more often than not. Think Tibette needs to rein her in a bit before she gets too far out of hand. Let Angie or Kit have a little convo with her about how privileged she is & how grateful she should be to her parents. Just saying.

      And TK finally delegating to her staff – about time. Why be president of the company if you have to do everything yourself. Right?? Rank does have privileges & TK needs to trust & guide her team.

      Joyce always putting her foot in her mouth! And Phyliss coming to her rescue.

      Shane is certainly showing character growth that we sure wish we COULD & SHOULD have seen on screen in GQ. Hope she & Jo make it long term.

      And Bette acting like she never had candy in her handbag for Angie & the other kids & mints for TK all these years!! Ha, ha.

      When you mentioned earlier in the chapter that Bette was lamenting about Shane not being able to see the show – & now it looks like she will. Very fitting.

      Soooooooo, the last episode up next. Seems surreal.
      We’ve been following this marvelous couple. These two extraordinary women – both real, fake & JB & LuH for all these wonderful years. They have brought such joy to us.

      Thanks pal for all this – it was wonderful as always!

      And like SG – please consider continuing this to some degree after the last episode this season – maybe holiday special updates???!!! Please, please, PLEASE!!!

      • Hey my friend!! I hope you are doing okay after that finale?? I must say I think I’ve had every emotion possible about it, lol

        It made me smile, what you said about Sasha. There’s a little something for you in Ch10….

        I’ve replied to your email with some other thoughts, but let me say here how much I appreciate and value your feedback and support over these past few years. I started writing ff during lockdown and I can honestly say it’s given me such incredible happiness, not least because of the friendships in this fandom. You are wonderful.

        Stay safe in all that Texas weather, ok?
        Largo x
