The last scene Tina riding behind Bette looking over, so sad, then she swallows.
Marlee Matlin's acting. I know this is going to sound funny but it is meant in the most respectful way: she says so much without saying a word. Her character's slow realization that she was being cheated on was absolutely BRILLIANT. Brava Marlee.
Tom said he never slept with a girl to Max, validating Max's male identity

The VERY long bike ride scene. I wish they had not shown as much of the bike riding as they did.

Jodi running away without saying anything to Bette.

The mean kind of way Tom talked to Bette, when Jodi did not want to see her
Alice needs and on off switch
Bette's completely selfish treatment of Jodi.
Niki sneakily ogling Shane while she's getting undressed to take a shower - keep your skanky eyes off of Shane, whore!

BEST QUOTES

Bette: Jodi and I never had a shot. We didn't. It wasn't working. I love Tina. I've always loved Tina.
Tina: I've always been in love with her... I just want her back! And I'm scared cause I know we're just gonna like probably f*** it up, but I have to do it. You know, I can't help it. It's something that I can't help. I want to be with her!!!

Alice: You guys, you know, you belong together. - Shane: Yeap, you do... - Alice: You always have - Shane: It's true...
Jenny: It's so difficult. Bette and Tina should have stayed together. They should have worked it out instead of just running away from each other like that.

I really hope that when Adele shows her evil side next week that Jenny doesn't play stupid all wide-eyed like she didn't see it coming...

RE: Adele and Jenny
By: knightsofstjoan2004, Aug 19 2009, 1:35 AM EDT

The truth about Adele Channing is that she is a manipulative and treacherous person. She is indeed a malicious bitch, a saboteur, a thief, and above all of that she is not trustworthy. In fact she is dishonest and deceitful. She has an intention of sabotaging Jenny’s film production of Lez Girls and her romantc relationship with Nikki as well as stealing Jenny’s position as director of the movie. She stole Nikki and Jenny's private video of their lovemaking during the camping trip and uses it to blackmail Jenny by removing her as the director of Lez Girls with herself being the replacement. She not only blackmails Jenny, but also Nikki threatening to expose their private video to the media and ruin Nikki’s career if she leaves in solidarity with her. Adele took advantage of the whole situation and Nikki could not take the risk of loosing her acting career by breaching her contract and since she is torn between Jenny’s plea to leave in solidarity with her and the contract she has recently signed, she has no other choice. Adele states that Nikki and Jenny’s private video of their lovemaking is scandalous and is tainted to the film production of Lez Girls but this is not true because the private video they made during their camping trip has definitely and absolutely nothing to do with it at all. She planned to steal Jenny’s career as Lez Girls director and devastate her by means of deceit, she talked to William and the management convincing them to replace and fire her from the studio but Jenny was wrongfully terminated. The conclusion is that Adele is the person who can’t be trusted and she is not to be trusted, she steals people’s careers and sabotages film projects and romantic relationships through deceit and other malicious ways. She may be malicious and deceitful, but she will not get away with what she did and one day the truth will come out and she will have to pay the price for her actions at a high cost.

How many of you believe Jodi will just walk away without a fight. (page: 1 2 3 4 5)

Ok, Jodi finally knows but will she walk away without a fight?

I don't see it happening, even if Jodi hadn' t moved to be with Bette it's no in her nature to just walk away. She's a fighter I don't think she is going to make it easy for Bette and Tina. I mean would you? I know if the shoe was on the other foot I would go down fighting what about you. What do you think will, she walk away gracefully or will she go down slugging?
