Storyline

Paige decides it's time to confess the truth to her son, Jared, about her romance with Shane. When Jared reacts negatively, Shane tries consider a more permanent solution by considering buying a house so they all can live together. Alice has a hard time accepting that Tasha is heading back to Iraq for another tour of duty and feels betrayed that Tasha never revealed her intentions of returning to war before allowing Alice to fall in love with her. Helena looks for a way out from the evil Catherine's financial clutches and seizes an opportunity (with both hands) to get out of the gambling high life... by stealing all of Catherine's ill-gotten cash and splitting town. Papi helps spearhead a beach side going away party for Tasha. Bette gets a heaping dose of honesty from Tina when she looks to her for advice on wooing back Jodi who's left for upstate New York, which leads Bette to ask Alice and Shane for help to construct a large artwork to win Jodi back. Tina returns to the lesbian fold...
