Truly is finished hanging curtains and Fanny says that she likes them, though she's not looking at them. She finds the wedding video of Hubbell and Michelle. Damn, she's drunk. It's pretty funny, she's knocking crap over and interrupting the wedding to go to the bathroom while he's talking to the cameraman about how special she is. Fanny seems almost convinced.
The next thing we see is Michelle at work. She looks into the audience and sees Fanny. She leaves the stage and goes directly over. She says it's fine since she's no longer holding the bird. She found her by going to Talia's and talking to Rick. She suggests that she bring hummus home. Also, they apparently talked about Michelle's "hoo ha" and I don't know why that would ever come up in conversation with a stranger. Fanny keeps sending her martini back. Apparently, the mixology in Paradise just spoils you. Michelle is really angry with Fanny, but Fanny tells her that she should come home. Michelle says that there's nothing holding them together. Fanny insists that they are family and are permanently connected. Fanny admits to being angry with Michelle for the macing and Michael leaving, but Hubbell loved her and she wants to honor his feelings. She leaves Michelle, who now seems a little humbled and pensive.
At The Oyster Bar, Melanie is with her sleeping grandpa again. She has another argument with Jeff and it's actually kind of cute. Sasha shows up in disguise. Melanie says that she can't stay at her grandpa's because they have installed a chair lift and he'll be sleeping where she was. She can't stay at Boo's because her mother has gone to a very dark place. She can't stay at Ginny's mom's real estate listing because it's now in escrow. Go Ginny! Where will she stay?
Michelle watches a copy of the wedding video that Fanny left for her. He says that he predicts that Fanny will one day love Michelle more than he loves her. He says that she has no idea how great she is. Hmm. That's probably true. Michelle returns, still super drunk, in the video and moves to the altar with Hubbell. She says, "Hi pal!" and hugs him, which is very sweet.
Sasha has decided that Michelle's place at Fanny's is where she should stay. Who should show up shortly after she gets there? That cute boy who she met at the ER. This would not be met with approval by anyone. They're really cute together though. She says that she learned a lot at the Joffrey. The girls were a little competitive but she had read The Art of War. Damn. She says that she learned things, which is appropriately vague as that first meeting with the adult world can be. It's funny too, you can be in the arts when you are a kid and it can seem like a perfect complement to childhood. Like Fanny's studio -- what could be a better place to practice a little rigor and learn to be a better person? But what can seem like an intuitive move to the next level can bring you face to face with stuff that is so completely worlds apart from what you've known. I guess that is just life but I feel like that can be a little more intense in the dance world sometimes.
