Episode Ten

Previously on "The L Word". . .

This week's show centered around the Pink Red (the breast cancer bike ride).

At the gathering of the bike ride, Tina sees Niki and Jenny kissing each other in public and flips out because Niki's agents don't want her to be seen in public as being gay. The first question about Adele's sexual orientation comes up as Jenny asks Adele if she's gay.

Molly shows up and Shane tells her to go home. Kit points out that Molly flew all the way up there for the race. Molly tells Shane that she realizes that she's being stalkerish and Shane tells her that she doesn't want to be her loser fuck buddy.

Bette rides up to Tina on the race and flirts with her by saying that she looks really great in her biker pants. Tina tells Bette that she doesn't want Jodi to know that they fooled around behind her back and doesn't want anyone else to know and Bette agrees.

At a pit stop, Jenny rides up and says, "My pussy is numb." TMI, Jenny.

Molly catches up to Shane on the ride and challenges her to race to the next stop--if she wins, Shane has to give her a chance to talk, if she loses, she'll go home. When the approached the next stop, Shane is leading and Molly tells her that she loves her, which takes Shane by surprise and she stops and Molly goes ahead and wins. Molly tells Shane that she doesn't know if she's gay or straight but knows that she wants to be with Shane. They kiss and make up.

Along the ride, Alice stops and does a road-side squat in the weeds. What I couldn't understand--why she did it in view of the other riders.

Tasha's old friends have a team for the ride and keep making comments to Tasha about hanging out at the camp site, etc. Tasha wants Alice to but Alice doesn't want to leave her group.

At the camp site, just as I was thinking that Jenny's tent looked like the Taj Mahal, Tina comes up and upon seeing it says, "What the fuck is this? The Taj Mahal?"

Bette gets pissy trying to put up hers and Jodi's tent and doesn't want Jodi to help. Jodi goes and helps Tina put up her tent and talks about Bette being moody and says that something's going on with her but she doesn't know what. Tina is feeling all sorts of guilty.

Shane sets up her tent and Molly walks up and questions it and Shane admits that she got it on sale at CostCo. They both look over at Jenny's tent, which Shane says looks like a condo. Jenny and Niki are in the tent and Shane goes up and loosens the rope so it collapses in on them.

Alice asks Adele if she's gay or what. Adele says it depends on who's asking. Adele says that there's someone she's had her eye on but that it's a secret.

Kit catches Bette and Tina looking at each other at the camp fire and makes some comments to Bette.

Alice and Tasha are in their tent talking about the future. Tasha says that they should move in together. Alice agrees. Okay, talk about a half-hearted agreement. It was definitely not a totally in love with Tasha kind of response. I don't think these 2 are going to make it.

Niki and Shane are at the showers and Niki checks Shane out as she undresses. . .

Jenny and Niki are in their tent and decide to direct a sex video of themselves. Adele sits out at the campfire, watching the shadows on the tent.

Everyone starts to gather back around the camp fire and just as Alice finishes telling a ghost story, Niki and Jenny scare everyone by jumping out wearing Jason (from Halloween--I think that's the right horror movie) type masks. Tina makes a remark about how they made enough noise before.

The gang decides to play, "I Never," which is like truth or dare but without the dare. The subject of cheating comes up and they discuss what is considered cheating. Tasha says that she thinks kissing is cheating and some agree and others don't. Shane says that simply sleeping with someone isn't cheating but it's cheating if you do it more than once. Tasha says that even thinking about cheating is cheating (nice to see that someone on that show has the same type of thoughts about cheating as I do:-) People start going around saying what they think cheating is and it gets to Bette, who tries to give a long explanation without really saying anything and Alice starts calling her out on being a big cheater, reminding her about how she cheated on her (Alice) and cheated on Tina. Jodi asks Bette, jokingly, if she's cheating on her and Bette gets the huge deer caught in the headlights look and Tina gets up and walks away. Bette still doesn't say anything and Jodi realizes that Bette has been cheating on her with Tina and leaves, with Tom and Bette going after her.

At their tent, Jodi goes into the tent and keeps Bette out. She texts Tom, who tells Bette that Jodi wants Bette to go away.

Shane and Alice go after Tina. Alice asks Tina if she's in love with Bette and Tina says that she's always been in love with Bette. Shane and Alice say that they belong together.

Bette is in Kit's tent and Kit is chastising Bette and tries to remind her on "how terrible the relationship with Tina was." Quite honestly, I'm surprised that Kit is coming down so hard on Bette but I guess it could be because Kit got cheated on last season.

Jenny asks Niki if their relationship is going to be one of those movie things. Niki says that she'll love Jenny forever and that it's a promise.

Meanwhile, Adele is in the Taj Mahal and sees the video camera going. She removes the tape and replaces it with a blank one and keeps the recorded on for herself.

Bette stays away from hers and Jodi's tent all night and the next morning, goes and tries to talk to Jodi, only to learn from Max that they had already left.

Next week: The SheBar girls buy out Ivan's 51% share of the Planet. Adele meets with the studio people and shows them the tape as she plans to blackmail them. There are only 2 episodes of this season left and Showtime announced this past week that the show is coming back for a 6th and FINAL season (only 8 episodes) so enjoy it while you can.
