Chapter 5 – The Dinner with the Gang
Alice: That’s true. When I was in college, I avoided Lenora as much as I could.
Bette: Well, I hope that Tina and I have a better relationship with Angie than you did with Lenora.
Shane: Oh, I think you do. Angie adores you both. She really is proud to be your child.
Tina: Well, thank you Shane. Sometimes it’s hard to tell.
Shane: She is such a great kid. You have done such a great job with her, really!
The waiter came by and got a drink order and the food order.
Tina: So, Alice, catch me up on what’s been going on with your life?
Alice began a long speech about her show and how much pressure to bring up the ratings and how this executive producer didn’t seem to know what he was doing. She then went into her latest partner with two children which turned from a couple into a trouple and then to no girlfriends. She was currently staying with Shane but would move out soon.
Tina: My god Alice, have you not changed at all in the 10 years since Jenny died? Weren’t you in a third wheel situation with Tasha Williams and Jamie Chen? And weren’t you having trouble maintaining your job on that show “The Look”?
Alice: Well, a third wheel is not the same thing as a trouple. A trouple is a little more involved. We are having consensual sex between all of us. Until two has sex without the third one present. Then there appears to be problems.
Tina: Oh my god! Alice? That just sounds like trouble.
Alice: Oh well, thought we would give it a try….
Bette: Shane, why don’t you catch Tina up on your life?
Tina: Yeah, what’s up with you these days Shane?
Shane: At the current moment, I am married to Quiara Thompson.
Tina: The actress?
Shane: Yes. Recently she told me that she had been inseminated and is currently pregnant. She and I had discussed children, and I had told her that I did not want children. She then sued me for divorce. She then came to me and said she was pregnant and wanted me to remain married to her. I told her I loved her very much, but I had no idea what role if any I could or would play in the child’s life. She then said that was alright, she would do it all. Well, we are going in for the first sonogram tomorrow and all I can say is that I really do not want to go.

Hey Martha,
I’m very happy with the quick updates! And you post them right after my work, coincidence?
Tina has seen the light thanks to Angie and her response about Tina’s and Carrie’s engagement.
I’m happy that Tina takes responsibility for her actions and will look for a therapist to really work through her issues and as result will be happy with herself again, with or without Bette and a possible relationship.
Very wise of Bette to not give in or give Tina a definitely answer about her question if she wants to be in a committed relationship again. Tina has to show due to her actions she can be trusted and show that she really wants to be with Bette and not run away when they hit a rough pad.
Tina does the right thing to break it of with Carrie regardless of she will have a relationship again with Bette.
It was a good conversation between Bette and Tina, let’s see if they can work it out.
But first a family weekend in Big Bear, a moment to connect as a family again.
Bibi,
Thanks for the comment. Tina has done some thinking, and she is at least saying the right things. Now let’s see if her actions reflect her words. Yes, a family weekend at Big Bear Mountain.
Personally, I like that Bette is being an observant mom to Angie. That is one of the little things that I wanted to show in Bette. She knows her role as mom, and she see things which non-moms don’t see. A subtle reminder that Tina has not been around, and Bette has.
As to my posting schedule? I am on east coast of US. I presume you are in Europe somewhere. I have no idea what your schedule is, and my schedule is so sporadic that all of this is really coincidence.
I do appreciate you posting a response…. makes my day and my week and even my month.
I live in Europe, good guess!
Bette is an amazing Mom, knows her daughter really well.
It seems Tina is seeing the light and the errors of her ways ….. and starting to do something about it !!
It will be a long road! Bette needs to be sure, I don’t think Tina realised until now the devastation she caused Bette and Angie. Slow and steady, with full and openness to both is what Tina must concentrate on now. She will get there, she is so determined but it will take time. Therapy seems a good way to start so she can reevaluate her actions and the consequences. I do fell sorry for Carrie, she’s done nothing wrong but fall 8n love with a woman who’s still in love with her ex! That’s life but she doesn’t deserve the heartache that’s coming her way. Going to read on now !
Thankyou Janice
Sometimes, people are just blind to the effect they have on others. And of course, when people never deal with each other, there is no way to see what is going on with them.
Carrie too is a victim in this story. But you are right, people do not always get what they deserve, and life is often not fair. However, Tina would be doing Carrie wrong to continue her relationship with her knowing that Bette is whom she loves. Carrie deserves someone who loves her as much as she loves them and that will never be Tina.
Thanks for reading and for commenting….
