Joan is cheering and grooving on the next person's rendition of "Don't Stop Believing" when she glances over at the bar in time to see Sassy whispering into Ted's ear, and Ted's awkward reaction. What is she saying to him? What is he saying to her? If she had to guess she'd say the other woman is proposing an encore to the one night stand. And Ted wouldn't say yes, would he? Of course not...but he'd want to be polite, and he wouldn't want to let on that he's seeing Joan, so he might say something non-committal, that won't make it clear that he's not interested in a second go around.

"You all right?"

Keeley's voice breaks Joan out of her reverie, and she realizes she's been sitting there staring. "Yeah. I just...thought I saw someone I knew. It's not him."

"Oh, I hate when that happens," Keeley says sympathetically. "Have I seen this bloke before? Has he seen my tits?"

Joan laughs, grateful for Keeley being Keeley. When Ted returns, Joan takes her drink and pointedly glances toward the bar, then looks back at him and raises her eyebrows.
