Oh my God! Alice suddenly exclaimed, sitting up straight and hitting Dana in the chin with her shoulder.

Ouch! Alice, whats the matter with you?! Dana complained, rubbing her jaw.

Ignoring Danas objections, Alice motioned toward the bar. Look over there. Is that who I think it is?

Where, where? I dont seeNo way! Is that Marina? Dana forgot all about her chin and turned around to see better.

I think it is. I wonder when she got back. And what is she doing behind Kits bar? Alices reporter instincts were kicking in, only enhanced by propensity toward all ***** gossip. It looks like Ive got some digging to do.

Just as Alice was strategizing how to obtain the information she so desired, Bette and Tina joined them. Eager to share her discovery, Dana asked, Did you guys see who is working the bar tonight? What in the world is going on there?

Marinas presence being no surprise to either of them, neither Bette or Tina even turned to look. Tina responded casually: Yeah, Kit said that Marina was back in town and missed The Planet so much she wanted to hire on. I guess they worked out the details this afternoon.

Alice leaned in, hungry for more information. Why is she back? I thought she tried to kill herself. Is it true that she has a husband? What happened with Francesca? Does Jenny know?

Does Jenny know what? Alice jumped at the sound of Jennys voice just behind her. She and Shane had finished dancing and quietly walked up to the table to greet Bette and Tina.

Alice tried to cover with, UhI was just wondering if you knew how great you look tonight. That is one hot top youve got on. Dana rolled her eyes at Alices fumbling.

Bette figured Jenny would find out sooner or later, and a heads-up might be nice. Marina is back in town. At Jennys raised eyebrows, she added, In fact, shes right over there, working behind the bar. As weird and confused as Bette thought Jenny was, she still had compassion for everything shed gone through with Marina.

Shane turned to Jenny and softly asked, Are you okay? Do you need to go?

Jenny looked over to where Marina was standing. No, Ill be fine. Everything is just fine, she affirmed, with an inscrutable look on her face.
