The L word - Episode 207 - "Luminous"

Well, well, well.....How the Ebb and Flow can change in just a few days in the fabulous land of L-word. The floating fecal leaves from the proverbial shit-tree have fallen onto different ladies lawns in this weeks climactic episode.
I have decided not to even mention the opening scene that features, of all things, Jenny as a Parisian Prostitute that is being propositioned by Charlotte, the writing Teacher and her boytoy Hunter. Turns out it wasn't a "Jenny mental meltdown", but a writing assignment composed by Hunter. Makes you wonder what that was seemingly trying to forshadow.
But anyhoo...Next we witness a little "Morning Glory" go down between Helena and Tina - until "Hell-in-a handbasket's" spoiled little babies spoil the moment. "T" gets a little uptight, but not to fear..."Hell-in-a hot black dress" will seduce her later that day out on the patio while the children color inside with the nanny. Just as Helena goes spelunking down at the Y, who should spoil Tina second chance at the big "O", but Hell's bitchy Ex-wife Winnie. After a lot of screaming between these two about visitation rights, Tina bails, but not before realizing that having a spawn with another person is no walk in the park. A change of heart seems inevitable...
Meanwhile it seems that Bette has been "meat tagged" - (because now she is officially considered fresh meat by the L.A. Lesbian Coalition) but not before she gets burned by the new CAC fundraiser Leo Herrera - turns out he is friends with Hell-in-a Peabody and mentions that she and Tina are so excited about the birth of the baby. In an strange change of behavior, Bette does not lose it too badly and actually whimpers that she needs finalization to Tina's answering service.
Alice and Dana are completely consumed in their sickly sweet cocoon of the Honeymoon Period and barely manage to unstick their sweaty bodies to get down to the Planet to "come out" to the gang....Turns out they already know, but still bask in their beautiful girl on girl glow. Everyone is happy for the time being......
So now, here's where things get a little weird...and wouldn't ya know it - It involves Carmen and Jenny. Hmmmm....In the perpetually difficult "on again off again" shit that is going on with these two, this sorta fucked up smacking foreplay took place after Jenny finally realized that Carmen was being wishy washy and in love with Shane. If Carmen wasn't so goddamn, hotter than Hell finger-licking good I would probably smack her too for being so lame. But I digress.
After being bitched out by Veronica Bloom, and then seeing Jenny and her secret love Carmen kissing at the planet, Shane decides its time for an meltdown and proceeds to take copious amounts of drugs, bring home some twins, get bitched out by Carmen, do more drugs and get the shit kicked out of her by some bouncers. No one is around to save her but the scoundrel roomate, Mark - who as the episodes pass, almost become Human with his creepy, but genuinely curious fascination with the lesbian phenomenon called Shane.
And then finally, after weeks of agony - some good feelings for Bette. The episode ends with our favorite Flashdancer receiving the news on her answering machine that Tina really wants Bette in their babies life. Hooray! Tears of Joy are flowing... Glass ball sculpture mobiles are clinking...Life is good!
