Episode summary: Maggie and Bianca pack to move Binks into her new apartment; Maggie announces to Erica and an equally surprised Bianca that she'll be sharing Binky's apartment.

No previouslies.

Oh, look at this! At Erica's penthouse, Maggie and Bianca emerge from the back with tons o' crap. Binks protests that she can carry her own suitcase—Maggie is lugging two of them—and Mags wonders at the number of shoes in Bianca's collection, seeing as how they must make her feet swollen. They totally exposit about her pregnancy and the apartment search and the plan to leave town once Binks starts to show. Maggie thinks she'll go with her, since that'll be around when first semester is ending, and she can just make the classes up later. Binks thinks that's "too much" for Maggie to take on. Maggie insists, makes a joke about "little Myrtle," and reminds Binky that when she first came to town and was a wreck, Binks wouldn't let her push her away, so she's going to do the same for her best friend now. "You, me, and little Latifah if it's a girl," she giggles. Binks laughs in astonishment at her pal's crazy sense of humor. My sister was watching this scene with me and captioned Bianca's expression thus: "I can't name my baby Latifah! That's for black people!" Ah, AMC. Always pushing the envelope. Except not.

Hey, there's a commercial for an "all-new ABC Soaps in Depth" that includes the line, "and you won't believe what's next for Bianca and Maggie!" Oh, I can guess.

Erica arrives home to find Bianca and Maggie emitting high-pitched squeals and indecipherable conversation as they play Move-Out. "What do you think you're doing?" Erica snaps. Binks explains that she got a sublet, but Erica thinks she's crazy to try to live on her own right now. Mags covers and says that she'll be living with Binks. Bianca's a little surprised by this but tries to hide it as Erica pisses that she never said anything about living with Maggie. Maggie tries to smooth things over: "Don't worry. We're gonna take care of each other." Gah.

Next on AMC: There's some Bianca-Maggie stuff, but it's not in the previews.

Erica is still pissed about the apartment situation. "What, is it a two-bedroom?" Hee, she's so in a gay panic. It's a studio, naturally. Jesus Christ. There's a knock at the door; it's Jackson, who tries to pick up where he and Erica left off, but then he sees Binks and Maggie. They get their cue and split. Erica tries to throw Jack out, but he grabs her and tells her he's not going anywhere until they get something settled.
