L Word 504 Recap
Jenny is holding auditions for Lez Girls. Everyone really likes one actor, Nikki Stevens. Everyone except Jenny. Jenny likes some other girl who’s all weird and intense and whatnot. She thinks Nikki can’t act, plus she doesn’t look like a writer and she’s could have stepped out of a Maxim magazine. How are we going to get Jenny on board?
Self-Defense Class
Since Kit was mugged, the gals have all signed up for a self-defense class. Yell “No!” and hit the target. Shane seems a bit distracted. The teacher is pretty hot. But when Alice asks her what she thinks, her “No!” has a bit much enthusiasm. Can’t say that celibacy is working out for ya real well there partner. Chill out!Max’s Lesson
The lesbian community is ignorant about trans issues. We get it and it’s ever so illustrated by Alice and Bette’s rude remarks. But look at Max dancing like a straight boy with Tom? If you’re going to date men, Max, you’d better work on those moves.Alice’s visitors
Two army guys show up at Alice’s place. Of course she freaks out. She’s worried something happened to Tasha and thus, caught off guard and lets them in. “What’s your relationship with Captain Williams?” they want to know. The find Alice’s lesbian magazines and gay books, but luckily she hides the photo of her and Tasha together before they see it. Finally she kicks them out.Alice freaks out and tries to degayify her room. Tasha goes to her lawyer’s house. Afterall, it was his obligation to tell her that her friend’s home would be invaded. You gotta love Tasha. When the lawyer’s wife comes down to complain about the noise, she very politely says, “I’m sorry ma’am. I’m sorry to bust into your house like this without any warning. You’re not any part of this. You’re not even in the service. It was wrong of me to disrupt your home and your family and probably frighten and confuse you.” Ding! Like what just happened to Alice.
Lawyer dude must have got the message, because he shows up at Alice’s place and is offering his support. One little speech is all it takes to turn a homophobe around. Let me work on that…
Jodi & Bette’s Disagreement
Bette is concerned about some art from one of Jodi’s classes where a student pretended to shoot himself in the head. I mean with Columbine and Virginia Tech, she has a point. But Jodi doesn’t get the point. Even though they’re both obviously pissed off at each other, Jodi invites Bette over later for some hoochie coochie. But Bette’s going to be working late, so maybe tomorrow? “If you’re lucky,” Jodi responds. Yikes. Trouble in paradise.
The Closeted Hollywood Homo Party
Alice can’t wait to see a famous closet case. But Tasha spots one first. One of the top ranking point guards in the NBA. For some reason Alice can’t stop staring at them. Then she does a big Hollywood closet homo no no. She pulls out her camera phone and snaps a picture. Alice, you’re in enough trouble already. Please don’t post those on the web.Girl Bar, I Mean She Bar
Everyone seems excited about the opening of She Bar, LA’s first for ”Hot Girls Only Club.” Except for Bette. She doesn’t want to go to a bar that’s in direct competition with her sister. Really? How about because you’re a 35 year old university dean and mother? Haven’t you outgrown the lesbian bar scene? I have a hard enough time getting my mom friends to meet me out for brunch, let alone clubbing. Yet, there are Bette & Tina, out every night, like they’re still 25 and childless.There’s a big line to get into the hot new lesbian club. Kit’s not on the list. But club owner Dawn Denbo likes the way Bette looks and allows them in. If you want to know what Girl Bar in LA is like, yes, it’s very like this place.
Dawn Denbo and her lover Cindy want Kit to know that they’re not trying to take any business away from her. “What we’re doing here is in another league entirely. It’s all about hot nights and hot girls. We’re creating a whole new scene.” They’re not even going to serve coffee. So see, Kit has nothing to worry about.
Dawn and her lover Cindy like Shane. A whole lot. See, there’s no drama. Not when you pull a third party into your relationship. What? What planet do they live on? I can tell Shane really doesn’t want to, but she’s been so deprived. She can’t stop herself. I have a feeling after this night, Shane, you’re going into the convent for real.
Nikki Finds Jenny
Nikki Stevens shows up at She Bar. Jenny’s assistant Adelle set it all up. Good acting job Nikki. She kisses Jenny’s ass and tells she’s never wanted anything more than to be in Jenny’s movie. I mean, it’s her life. She is a good actress. She will be the Jesse of her dreams.Bette Can’t Leave Without Shane
Bette is trying to leave, but she promised Shane she wouldn’t leave without her. She goes in search of her, but Shane’s busy in the VIP room with Dawn and her lover Cindy. But Bette runs into a familiar face. Tina is in the side bar, trying to hide from her date. She’s nice and all, but fucking crazy. Tina is so not into this bar scene. Bette doesn’t like it either. But I’ll tell you what she does like. She likes Tina--enough to grab her arm and kiss her with the most passionate kiss we’ve ever seen on TV. I can’t breathe. I have to stop writing. Take over.

Bette and Tina…We allll knew it…we all seen it coming at the end of season 4…and surely we alll love it right? Buck up your ideas and get it back together, we love you! As for Shane…yeah its funny to watch…but we alll know its not gonna last another episode! Bring Helena back
boy I about fell out of my chair when Bette kissed Tina…I really like Jodi…but we have GOT to have more Bette and TIna I simply love them together. Thay are soooo hot!!
Truth be told, I could slap them both.
Hell, all of them. I don’t know any lesbians who behave like these chicks, and frankly if I did, I’d kick their collective asses! All the bed hopping and cheating on their lovers, and breaking up, and getting back together, and all this nonsense. Bleh!
My favorite characters seem to be the ones who get screwed over.
But for Hotness…Bette looks great in a suit.
Tina….no way. After she rode the male candy pole, I’d rather die than tough her! lol
Maybe I’m alone in my view…but even so….
I can’t stop watching “the L word”.
It is addictive….like straight soaps in the daytime.
When Bette kissed Tina, I got the goose bumps and ran right up to the tv and watched. I had a few tears……I do hope they get back together. I like Jodi, great actress but just couldn’t get used to the idea of Jodi and Bette being together.
i’m getting the feeling that a lot of you “buy” into this show…i’m sorry, i was really excited when this show came on that first year…..but it certainly didn’t touch any part of my real life nor any other lesbian i know. i think we’d all like to be like these women, but the lesbians i know are school teachers, social workers, nurses, wew’re just regular folks. none of which are portrayed on this show. i thought (or i had hoped) it would be more like Queer as Folk … a chance to see us regular lesbians as we are … hard working regular women who love other regular normal working lesbians. i’m sure there are women lesbian hairdressers, deans of schools, restuarant owners, etc. As much as i wish that were the norm, it isn’t. Just my opinion and why i no longer watch
“i think we’d all like to be like these women, but the lesbians i know are school teachers, social workers, nurses, wew’re just regular folks.”
LMAO!! How true that is! And I’m a nurse,too!
I also do not like all the bed hoping also make it look so bad for us lesbain we are all not like that
wooteewoo!! I’ve not seen any of season 5 yet but i wanted bette to do SOMETHING with Tina cos they are soooooo nice together….and anyways guys stop taking it so seriously its a tv show with frickin mega hotties
enjoy it …at least its not loads of hetero stuff like usual tv shows
can anybody tell me please what is the name of the song that is on while Bette and Tina are kissing??!!
PLEASE TELL ME!
Who the hell wants to watch some boring show about everyday “lesbains”, we’d all die of boredom….instead, we get to live vicariously through the on screen lives of womyn that are caricatures of the worst stereotypes of vapid, oversexed, pretentious, too badly-acting to be tolerated Barbies and a would be Ken (though like Ken- Max won’t have the package)
ps= they are not real lesbains- none of them have cats and scooter- jennie’s mutt has disappeared- has she killed that one, too?
hey i know i’m late n all, but i just got here through google trying to find out who made that french track when they arive at the club- just saw it last night. uhmmm, i wonder if i’ll remember to check this site later.
