Episode Report Card Potes: D | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Sofia's Choice
By Potes | Season 1 | Episode 12 | Aired on 01.10.2007
Meanwhile, there are more shenanigans at the strip club. Christina notes that Hunter is entertaining a bachelorette party, and that the woman who is about to marry some fat, bald, pasty-looking dentist is essentially having her last supper right now, so she is cashing out. Betty asks if they'll take her ATM card, and Christina says she knows where Betty can swipe it. That doesn't sound sanitary at all. Betty pulls out her lunch money for the week, and Hunter comes over. He tells them that they can cop a feel if they like as long as the management doesn't see them, and Christina is all over it until Betty slaps her hand away. Apparently, Betty is not only ugly, but also no fun. Betty asks Hunter if he has a girlfriend, and Hunter says he has girlfriends, boyfriends, all sorts of friends. Sheep friends, perhaps? Yeah, I kind of figured. Betty asks if this means that Hunter is bisexual, and Hunter says that if she buys, he's sexual. He asks what kind of lapdance they're in the mood for -- cupping the cobra, feeding the kitty, slapping the bongos, or just a good old-fashioned hot dog. Christina wants à la carte option D, but before you can say "mustard and relish," the bachelorette waves a bill and tells Hunter to jiggle his junk her way. Hunter says that he's off to service the high rollers, and Christina notes that (a) it's clear that Hunter's a whore, and (b) if Betty wants to find out about him and Sofia, she should hit the ATM.
Back at the Meet The Crazy Parents dinner, Sofia notes that Claire and Bradford look so happy together. Bradford says that they'll be married thirty-eight years in September. Sofia says that they make it look so easy, before Claire says that she almost shot Bradford one Christmas in Ann Arbor, which she pronounces "Ann Aaaahbor," like she's Katharine Hepburn. She thanks God that it was she who was loaded and not the gun. Bradford says that, in a marriage, things happen, and Claire interjects, "Like Cindy and Trisha and Candee with two 'e's. And let's not forget about Fey." Oh, we won't. We can't, because everybody keeps talking about her all the time. Claire's point is that marriage can be pretty awful sometimes, but somehow you find a way to go on. She says that this is a good thing, because when something really bad happens -- like losing a child -- you realize that you could never survive it without your husband. Judith Light looks practically pickled these days, doesn't she? Bradford and Claire kiss, and then dance. It's all oddly touching. Bradford whispers, "You're bombed, aren't you?" in her ear, and Claire says it's just a little cough syrup. Daniel tells Sofia that she can run away if she wants to, but she says that she wants to have what his parents have, minus the cheating. And, maybe, minus being such freaks. Claire asks Bradford whether he thinks their grandchild will have a Spanish name like Paco. HA! That is hilarious. At least he will perhaps be Puttin' On The Ritz. Bradford asks if Claire likes Sofia. Claire says that she's lovely, but there's something about her -- like she's hiding something. Bradford says, "Aren't we all?" I don't know. Are we? Daniel tells Sofia that, if she wants it, they could have what his parents have. That sounds more ominous than romantic, if you ask me.
