Previously, on The L Word. . .

Tina goes to Bette's house to stay in the guest room. Bette tells her assistant to take his time setting up appointments for Tina to view apartments because Bette is hoping that Tina will stay.

While shopping at a sex toy story for things to put into gift bags, Tonya and Alice trade barbs with regards to Alice's supposed bisexuality. Then Alice and Dana trade a few barbs.

Tina wants to talk to Bette, who agrees. Tina is planning on telling Bette that she's pregnant. Bette comes home, Tina tries to talk and the Bette starts talking about her day. Bette finally gets around to asking Tina what she wanted to talk about but Tina wouldn't say.

Alice sees Bette and Tina together at the Planet and thinks they are back together. Tina tells Alice that they're not but that she's not ruling it out. Alice asks Tina if Bette knows that Tina's pregnant and is shocked to find out that she doesn't know and wants to know how she can't know because it's so obvious. Tina replies that, "Bette's pretty wrapped up into herself and doesn't always see what's right in front of her."

Shane tells Carmen that she should give Jenny a chance. Carmen tells Shane that she shouldn't try to hook her up.

Tina's agency got a Peabody grant and Tina calls Bette after seeing the posting and that Bette's museum did not get one. Bette was totally cold and rude to Tina.

Alice is over at Dana's house putting together the gift bags for the bachlorette party. They start telling each other the first thing they noticed about each other and then things get steamy. Awhile later, they hear Tonya at the door and they're able to get their clothes back on but Alice still has handcuffs on her wrist.

Helena (of the Peabody grant) visits Tina's agency since they received the largest grant and notices that Tina is pregnant. She asks Tina to dinner but Tina declines because of the bachelorette party. Bette shows up at the agency with flowers and tries to say that Tina said hurtful things too (whatever--Tina was trying to be sympathetic about Bette's museum not getting a grant and Bette was being hateful). Bette gets pissed because Helena is there and Helena lets it out that Tina is pregnant.

There is a Jenny writing scene which takes place at a carnival.

Bette is upset that everyone knows that Tina is pregnant but her. Jenny talks her into going to the bachelorette party.

Mark, Shane and Jenny's new roommate, plants cameras in the house (his friend's idea) in just about every room except the bathroom.

Alice shows up at the bachelorette party and upset hearing Dana's mom giving her blessing to Dana and Tonya. Tina and Helena show up at the party together, which upsets Bette. Alice gives a toast that gets Dana thinking.

Next week: Alice tells Dana to tell Tonya that it's over. Bette tells Tina to stay away from Helena.
