Bette tells her she spent a night in jail, cheated on Tina, and that her friend, Jenny Schechter committed suicide at her house. She literally has a Judy Chicago painting on loan in her campaign headquarters.ĭuring the first meeting with Dani and Bette, Dani asks if there’s anything that could compromise the campaign other than the affair Bette had while working for the City of Los Angeles. Over at the Porter Campaign Headquarters, Dani arrives for her first day and isn’t quite ready for the rough-and-tumble world of local politics - though honestly, Bette’s campaign may be the fanciest local race that I’ve ever seen. (Is this true? That seems outrageous!) Shane then gets the idea that someone should buy the bar and let the couple manage it, so perhaps Shane has found her next path… Meanwhile, Shane meets a couple who work at the bar, and they opine the loss of The Planet and lack of any lesbian bar in Los Angeles. Where does he work? What is his family background? I want more! We don’t know anything about Micah’s life outside of his relationship to other people (namely Dani and Sophie) and that he’s trans.

Right now, he feels a bit like a trans trope. Every scene with Micah leaves me wanting more. This is similar to the problem with Micah right now - the least developed character so far - though he and Jose are incredibly cute and charming on their gift card date. Perhaps she’s a survivor? Or maybe new to these kinds of experiences? I’m sure this will be explored further, but so far, it feels like a lot of little pieces of story shoehorned in without payoff. To make matters weirder, she has some kind of panic attack while they’re hooking up. Again, I just don’t get where we’re going with Finley. It’s kind of like negging, but more pathetic. After Shane gets served her divorce papers (thanks to Finley), they end up going out (to what appears to be a post-The Planet sports bar) and Shane encourages Finley to put down Tinder and cruise the room.Īfter getting shot down by every girl in the bar, Finley manages to hook up with a girl by asking her if she wants another drink and then getting her to buy.

Even for Shane, you can tell she’s put off by the weirdness of Finley and annoyed by her very presence, but Shane is too nice to really do anything resembling conflict. After building Shane’s bed in last week’s episode, Finley apparently just never left and decided to become a permanent couch-crasher (not that Shane has a couch).Īnyone other than Shane would be so upset by this. I’m not sure where they’re going with her right now. Of all the new characters, Finley is the one I understand the least. While it’s important to portray the realities of unsupportive families, it’s also so nice to see healthy, loving parents who are happy for their children.

It finally culminates in a touching scene at their engagement party where Sophie’s mom gives her her grandmother’s ring so she can give it to Dani, along with some sage advice about marriage. Thankfully, her incredibly sweet and supportive family (props to her single mom in particular) basically tell her to chill out because she knows she loves Dani. Meanwhile, there is less on the Sophie/Dani front this week as Dani settles into her new job - that she didn’t tell Sophie about ahead of time - throwing Sophie into a tailspin about the kind of person she’s marrying. The next day, Alice has gotten the stomach bug (welcome to parenthood, Alice), and Gigi is there to take care of the kid, so the two have a bonding moment about Gigi’s previous behavior, finally thawing some of the ice there. “Kids are people,” Shane shrugs.Īnd even if Alice isn’t a natural, she at least tries - if for nothing more than Nat’s sake. She calls Shane for help who is pretty good with all kinds of people, and thus naturally, is good with kids, too. Of course, Alice is completely incompetent, grabbing a Crock Pot for him to throw up in. When Nat and Gigi’s son gets sick and they’re both busy, Alice is called upon to pick him up from school and take care of him. It’s a reminder that Alice and Nat’s relationship is rooted in the breakup of a family, which will surely come into play as the season goes on. They don’t let her in, so she ends up hammering a nail to the door and hanging her ring on it. Nat and Alice are making out when Gigi starts banging on the front door and screaming to come inside the house. This week, we start with a flashback to two years ago.
