First dates and maybe-dates and fake dates for training purposes.

Were having a fun, sexy, angsty time at the Coterie this week, and it feelsgood.
Hes a good guy.
Thankfully, she decides this isnt healthy and puts that man on Do Not Disturb.
She is giving Matt a real chance.
Anyway, like Sara Bareilles says, something always brings Davia back to Dennis.
That is, until Alice mentions that Dennis might be giving up his loft soon.
Davia isnt going to waste her time on this handsome, angel-voiced fool anymore!
And then Matt grabs her face and they kiss and it is so romantic.
Nice Teacher Matt coming in for everyones heart here.
Maybe its Callies fabulous green dress?
Maybe I just want everyone to find love?
Brb, gotta go listen to Falling Slowly for a minute.
Okay, thats better.
Now: Gael invites Callie to Yuris gallery show for moral support.
Yuri declares that Gaels painting has so missed the mark that it is unusable and Gael has failed him.
So yeah, Gael needs some support at this party.
Things are not easy-peasy.
Even Yuri is being unusually kind.
And then Yuri asks Gael if he can have Callies number.
Ugh, Yuri sucks again.
So the lipstick was a waste and these two need to learn how to communicate with honesty!!
Gaels brain might explode?
Stewing, he texts Callie late at night because he needs her (perhaps both emotionally and physically?
), but she doesnt get that text shes too busy hooking up with Tony at the office.
Callie and Gael need to GET IT TOGETHER.
Mariana notices Alice seems down and Alice explains the whole situation with Ruby.
Mariana has seen enough: Shes taking Alice on a date to teach her how to be more assertive.
She needs to figure out what she wants and then go after it.
Alice and Mariana dont typically get paired off in story lines, but they should.
Sherry Cola and Cierra Ramirez have a fun chemistry together.
It looks good on her!
Back at home, she and Ruby start texting and Alice comes clean about pretending to be dating around.
She tells her flat out: What she really wants is to be in a relationship with Ruby.
The sky doesnt come crashing down around her.
Instead, Ruby responds with, Lets talk about it.
Alice gets an A+ from her instructor.
In just a few minutes they go from being angry to agreeing to compromise and right back to normal.
I love a nice moment of authentic sisterhood.
This defense just might save Tommy.
Callie celebrates her huge win by humping Tony in the office, as one does.
Can someone do an illustrated map of the Coterie?
I need the full layout of the place.
