Later, they’re talking and Jose asks Micah if he loves him back. Meanwhile, after Jose ghosting randomly (which still hasn’t been explained), Micah and Jose are back on steady footing, to the point that Jose accidentally blurts out, “I love you.” So it’s no surprise when Finley and Tess play Never Have I Ever and make out. Later, Finley shows up at Dana’s to help out since Lena is MIA, but unfortunately, Tess has relapsed due to her heartbreak. It quickly becomes clear that her dad is the only person in her family she is still on speaking terms with and we are finally getting to know Finley a bit better. Rebecca tells her she needs to do some work on herself and asks her to leave–again.Ī devastated and embarrassed Finley calls her dad only to discover he can’t talk because he’s at her sister’s engagement party, which she, of course, wasn’t invited to. She thinks Rebecca is mad at her for showing up drunk, but it was the things she said, of course, which Finley doesn’t remember. Over at Dana’s, despite being heartbroken over her cheating girlfriend disappearing out of nowhere, Tess shows up for work to clean up after Shane’s big party only to find Finley in the office hungover.Īs was previously established, Tess is sober and the drama is making her want to drink again. Per the advice of her AA sponsor, Tess takes Finley to breakfast and the two weirdly hit it off, discussing their need to numb the pain of daily life and heartbreak.Īfter some good hangover food, Finley goes to Rebecca’s house. Dani finally says she needs to be alone and drops Sophie off. Sophie’s whole jam is talking and expressing herself. Dani continues to burrow further into herself and won’t really talk to Sophie at all. Which begs the question Sophie and all viewers want to know, why was Sophie even there? Dani clearly didn’t go into this with her partner as a team.ĭani and Sophie drive back and it is painful to watch. Dani yells at him in the middle of the gigantic open space and they walk out. Even though he acts supportive, he, of course, still sees Sophie as an outsider and doesn’t see what is wrong with the pre-nup. Red flags everywhere with these two.)īut Sophie’s sister, Maribel (Jillian Mercado), casually skims it and immediately finds like fifty things wrong with it, least of which is that if Sophie births any babies, they won’t be able to inherit money from Dani’s family.ĭani and Sophie go to confront her dad in the middle of the day at his business, so we all know this is going to end well. Sophie agrees to, saying it doesn’t matter as long as she and Dani can get married. Over with the new characters, Dani’s dad has sent over some chocolates to bury the lede which is the pre-nup he wants Sophie to sign. Bette drops some wisdom while multitasking: “There are no right choices, only choices.” I’m not sure if I agree with that, but it definitely sums up Bette. Later that morning, Shane, Alice, and Bette casually phonebank at the Bette Porter Campaign Headquarters while discussing their love lives. But Bette just rolls her eyes and says, “You needed me to get out of that marriage.” Stone cold. She breaks up with Felicity with about 4% empathy, and Felicity is rightfully upset. Now that Bette has made the decision (after having to lie to Angie about it) she is DONE. Angie doesn’t want Bette to come, until Jordi mentions her family won’t go, and cutely texts Bette that she can go. Angie sees Felicity’s name pop up on Bette’s phone, which she lies about. Over on the Porter front, Bette is dropping off Angie and Jordie at school who have a play that night. (She and Gigi still have buckets of trust issues.) Of course, once the throuple train has left the station, there’s no going back.
