The L word - Episode 212 - "L'Chaim"

As much as I will go thru a mild withdrawal after next weeks season finale, I will in some ways be glad to see this difficult season come to some sort of a conclusion. Every character, it seems, has been up and down more times than an elevator.... Just as things seem to be looking up.... Oops! fucked again.
Episode 212 turned out to be the most "difficult" to date.
So in order not to drive you completely mental - I, in a brief statement, will attempt to convey just what the hell was going on in each characters pretty little head this week:

Jenny : Lets start with Jenny cause she is once again utterly out to lunch. She attempted a mufftastic strip-tease at a scummy man-bar. She invited all her lesbian buddies. I am guessing it was for some sort of power over men redemption. It might have been acceptable if she hadn't seemed like she needed the funny farm to swoop in and pick her up in every scene beforehand.
Hey guess what!?, Jenny moped her way through this entire episode to show you she is forlorn and feeling fucked up.
- How nice, cause I wasn't quite sure.....

Alice : Easily my favorite character most days, Alice has a penchant for being the amusing, easily likeable one. Well somehow the RELATION-SHIT going on with Dana is making her an insecure little whimply girl. It is so not attractive... But I do have a wee bit of sympathy.... seems I've been there before, at 16 years old mind you, but I do sorta understand being afraid to lose.
- Alice darling, get some girly balls - Paranoia will destroy ya!

Dana : Dana goes on a "date" with her ex, Lara Perkins (the infamous "soup" chef from season 1). God! I forgot how cute Lara was....And judging by the drool and shit eating grin from Dana when they reunited at The Planet I think she might have forgotten too. Dana, it seems, is on the long and winding road to self-discovery....
- If thats so Dana, figure out where the hell you need to go, and make it soon.... There is a lot of beautiful scenery along the way.....

Shane: Our hot, studly Shane has gone soft. Meh.
She didn't even dirty dance with Peaches. Meh.
- Oh Shane, Carmen didn't actually break you did she????????

Tina : For the love of God! Is it necessary that I am required to see your absolutely enormous pregnant bare belly every single episode? I don't know about you, but huge pregnant bellies are freakish and alien-like, not wonderful and beautiful like some might think.
- Your only redemption Tina, is that at least you are letting Poor ol' Bette snuggle that Mammoth baby-bag before it finally pops.... Go on - You love her. We know you do.

Bette : Bette may have received the final straw that breaks the pushy alpha-female's back.... Shit has just gone pear-shaped.
- Oh poor ol' Bette.... If Tina doesn't want to kiss and cuddle you back to health and happiness I will be more than willing to take a "leave of absence" to help you out.
Things have got to turn around soon right?
