Complete story — includes the ending

Tasha's military trial begins where Alice finds herself in a serious bind when she's called by Colonel Davis to testify on behalf of the U.S. Army against Tasha. Alice must decide whether to tell the truth about her romance with Tasha, or lie and risk facing charges of perjury. Meanwhile, Jenny continues her romance with Niki just as Niki's managers push into damage control after photos of Niki's oil wrestling stint are posted on every tabloid magazine and Internet site. When one of Niki's movies opens, Tina and the producers ban Jenny from attending as Niki's date, and force a (male) actor to accompany Niki to the premier. Jenny asks Adele to sneak her into the theater, but the crafty Adele instead locks Jenny out, and even impersonates Jenny to some of the attendees. Across town, Bette and Tina's anguish over hiding their secret tryst begins to emotionally get to both of them as Jodi continue to slowly drift away from Bette, while Tina invites the Lez Girls cinematographer over for dinner at Jodi's house. Elsewhere, Molly continues to resent Phyllis' action concerning her divorce, and Shane tries to get Molly to see her mother in a more positive light.
