The L Word - Lights, Camera, Action

Jenny rehearses a scene between Gretchen and Isabella who'll play Nina and Bev (Tina and Bette respectively). If you've seen the first season you'll remember in the pilot that Tina and Bette were trying to have a baby and that's how we are introduced to them. However, this rendition of the memory is one of humor. Isabella doesn't know what 'f' her against the wall mean. That's ridiculous; her mind must be really narrow if she cannot read between the lines on what's being asked. Jenny instructs Isabella to basically take Gretchen after they see that Nina is ovulating, telling her to sex her with her hand and they look like true fumblers. So they never thought to try it out with another woman? Very interesting don't you think? Jenny is extremely dissatisfied, asks Adele to set up a meeting with the actresses who have sex scenes because she's going to hire a lesbian sex coach so their scenes can be more believable. Let's hope this proves to be helpful in long run.

Shane goes to SheBar and apologizes to the ladies, mostly to Dawn, for what happened last week and wants to make peace. Dawn seems to bee cool with but has a condition, that Shane gets Jenny to use the club as a shot location for the movie and not The Planet. She can't understand that the studio is willing to pay $50,000 a day to shoot in a wannabe Peach Pit like The Planet. She also wants Jenny to keep the name as SheBar and not The Pluto Café as intended for the movie. Shane quickly says she's not going to do that. The problem is between her and the girls, not her friends and she's not going to screw her friends over for her or anybody. To that Dawn, acting like a brat, tells her that she's going to have to put Kit out of business the old fashioned way. As Dawn continues to babble and walk away, Cindi asks Shane to call her; a disgusted Shane walks off.

Alice is packing Tasha's things letting us know they didn't smooth things out with other over the Daryl Brewer situation. Tasha arrives and goes as far as the door. Alice invites her in to make sure she didn't forget anything and Tasha says she trusts her. Of course Alice is bold saying that it's not true and Tasha reassures her that she trusts Alice, they're just not good for one another. Alice apologizes for making her life difficult and Tasha lets her know that she was a lesbian long before they met. Private Brown had it in for her anyway; he was bound to find something. She heard that a show, The Look (think of The View) wants Alice to join a panel of women, replacing a regular from the show. She's not sure if she wants to do because they want her to be out and flamboyant for all to see and doesn't think that's the thing for her. Tasha doesn't understand why she would second guess something like an opportunity such as this one. This is something she's dreamed about and Alice says Tahsa doesn't know what she dreams of. A little hurt by the remark, Tasha leaves and Alice slams the door retreating to her bedroom.

Tina surprises Bette by coming by two hours before Kit's due to bring Angelica back from Disneyland. She sees Bette cooking and asks if she's having a dinner party, Bette wanted to fix something for Angelica before Tina came to pick her up. Tina's impressed by Bette cooking asking if Jodi taught her to which Bette says she taught herself so that she and Angelica can spend some time together as a family; she offers to cook for Tina someday. The tension builds as Tina asks Bette to look at her and says that she knows that Bette doesn't want to hurt Jodi and Bette confirms. After threes seconds, they give into the hunger they are both feeling for each other and go to the bedroom tearing off clothes and in a twist of power Tina takes charge talking dirty to Bette who seems to like the new side in Tina as they continue to make love.

Jenny's on the phone with the studio saying that she hates the location choice - Vancouver doesn't pass for Los Angeles.

Jenny has some choice word for one of the employees and Adele gets a text from William saying that he agrees with L.A. being the location for the movie and that he's put the money up for it and all is well.

She calls Bette and although she wants to join them, Jodi's over thus squashing that idea. Bette cleans the conversation up by saying she and Jodi are going to have to pass for breakfast. Jodi's in a mood to go out but she isn't.
