Assuming Bette and Tina get back together in Season 5, how will it happen?
--The long distance relationship with Jodi and Bette will not work out, leaving Bette available.
--Tina will kick into seduction mode to win Bette back, no matter what.
--Bette will realize Tina really is interested and will ditch Jodi.
--Bette will be drawn back to Tina, cheating on Jodi.
--A crisis around Angelica will throw them back together.

I def think they are getting back together....i really don't know how though. I really don't think that Tina is going to seduce Bette...I think it's all in Bette's hands. Tina knows that she's spent the last few seasons screwing Bette over, and I think Bette needs to make the decision in order for this reunion to "stick"...

you''re right; it is an assumption.
but did anyone expect alice and dana to be broken up in the beginning of season three? did anyone expect dana to die? If Ive learned anything fom watching, it's that you can pretty much expect anything.
I can't imagine IC giving all of these sign about a reunion and not let one happen. Plus, she also has stated that Bette and Tina are not finished just yet....

I think it is goingt o be a compilation of a few of the options. I think the long distance relationship won't work, Tina is going to turn on the seduction, and Bette will be drawn back to Tina..
However, I really don't think Bette will cheat on Jodie.. She has already learned that lesson the hard way!

I honestly think Jodi will come back to LA and eventually start to get jealous of B&T's friendship, even though up to now she's been cool about it. Tina is obviously in a different, more open place then when she first met Jodi, and the friendship has developed and deepened... Anyway, I think it's another legit possibility.

| I don't know how or if Tina and Bette would get back together despite my desires of them reuniting. I think it would be inappropriate for Tina to try to outwardly seduce Bette considering that she knows how Bette feels about Jodi. In addition, I don't think seduction of one another would lead to a lasting reunion. That being said, I don't think it's appropriate for Tina to really divulge any of her feelings for Bette when Bette is still with Jodi. It's like Tina said herself, she just has to wait and see what will happen with Bette and Jodi. Without any confirmation of how Tina really feels for Bette, I don't see Bette going after Tina. Why would she now when she has before and was shot down? Personally, though, I would like to see Tina pursue Bette once her and Jodi are over and done with. Finally, there's the whole Angelica getting sick which would bring back Tina and Bette. Sure, her infermity could be used as a catalyst to reunite Tina and Bette, but I would hope that if Tina and Bette got back together it would be done conciously because they willed it from the get go. |

kittylover, i agree with you
I think that Bette has been hurt too much by Tina to persue her. And I also think that Tina will not persue Bette becasue she knows that she has screwed her over quite a few times already. Somethng needs to bring the two of them together to realize these feelings they have for one another. I think using Angelica to achieve this may be one way for the writers to go. I don't think having them reunite because of Angelica makes their reunion any less valid...I think they both will realize how strongly they feel for one another, and how much they truly want to be together. They just need something (or someone) to bring them to this place....
I don't know...maybe I'm just ranting now, but that's my two cents.

Yeah, this is what I see too and I too think Jodi is going to come back to L.A. In fact, I believe she's going to come back to California in the very beginning of season 5 because :
1 - with Angie and her job, I don't see how Bette could stay in NY more than a few days.
2 - if Jodi stayed in NY, the only scenes MM would get would be scenes on the phone with Bette and they would need to use the interpreter each time. No, I really don't think that would be an option...
As far as Bette and Tina getting back together because of Angie's illness... Well, I definitely don't want it to happen that way and it would be a "forced" reunion which would never make for a relationship that has any chance to last. Should those two get back together ( and I'm pretty sure they will eventually ), they're going to need to build their "new" relationship on healthier ( no pun intended ) and stronger foundation, otherwise they're doomed.

I think that Jodi will cheat on Bette and that will drove her back to Tina's arms. And there is that NY-LA distance. And Tina is in LA...

I agree with you, too. There's eventual Tibette in the works, I think. And I know quite a few people are pulling for a better, 'healthier' Tibette. They weren't friends before their relationship. I think this is when they sort of go back and fill in what they never had before. They need to do it on their own terms and not because of other people.

I mostly agree with you. But I'm not keeping my fingers crossed for TiBette anymore. I used to but now that Bette has a wonderful relationship with Jodi (well maybe not wonderful, but I like them together) I wouldn't like anybody to get hurt just because old love never dies...It's pretty handy to leave many options, as IC did, all we can do is speculate what's going to happen

I still think though, that Tina has it in her to pursue Bette in Season 5. After all, Tina finally seems to know exactly what she wants (Thanks IC!)-namely Bette.  So it would make sense that she goes after Bette as much as she can. Tina has undergone some interesting character development-she definitely has become a stronger person, at least professionally and it would be nice to also see her more self-confident concerning her relationship with Bette. It would put her more on an equal footing with Bette's character. (But then again, that's probably my wishful thinking-and the long break until Season 5 definitely leaves me too much time to be doing exactly that  ).
Hopefully we will see some of the season 1 TiBette passion. I miss it.
Oh, also, in this context I just came across the Laurel Holloman interview in which she talks about Tina's dating style:
"Even with the other women Tina's dated, she's been pursued.
Always been pursued. I even asked Ilene -- if there ever is another woman, can I be the pursuer? I think it's totally in Tina, it's not a quality that she doesn't have. People aren't black and white that way. Especially when in matters of the heart, or even your sex drive (laughs). Sometimes you're being pursued and sometimes you're pursuing.
What do you think is Tina's pursuing style?
It would be not so overt. It would be more subtle, but I think it would be very aggressive. Once she pins herself onto something, she stays focused. I think her romances go hard and fast. I don't think she's the player type. She doesn't have the thing where she has to sleep with as many women as she can. She has to feel a connection. "

i also see this as a possibility, in a way is obvious IF jodi starts to get jealous of B&T, after everything they've been through, maybe jodi will feel she can not compit with that
