To L And Back: An L Word Podcast To L And Back

Hello again! Did you miss us!? Most importantly, did you miss The L Word!?!? Then boy do we have a treat for you! After a quick one year time jump, the gang is back and we've got a big event: a fundraiser at Dana's. In other big events of the episode: Finley returns from rehab and sober living, Micah wants to marry Mari, and yes okay of COURSE we have the long awaited conclusion to Tina showing up at Bette's doorstep. Will these two crazy kids finally make it work? Let's find out together!

This week, of course, everyone is talking about Bette and Tina! Look, sometimes you have to get back together with your ex! While Bette and Tina are having their own season finale, we're also talking this week about Micah and Mari's potential baby (not as poorly as Finley though, we promise), Shane and Tess's metaphorical baby (the bar), and whether we generally feel insecure in our own romantic relationships (not all of us!).

Winter has arrived in Los Angeles this week, bringing a chill in the air, some light rain, and something totally new: a Bette-Porter-free episode of The L Word! While Bette and Tina are presumably off in Toronto frolicking and kissing and looking at art, The Aloce Show hosts its 100th episode, and with it, a dating game to find Alice The One. All sorts of shenanigans take place on the set of the Aloce Show this week, from breakups to hook-ups and make-ups and makeovers! Also, that boy Angie kissed last week? Actually a grown man, and also her teacher. Yikes!

Spooky scary skeletons, it's a Halloween episode! We've got thrills, chills, and parties galore. One of the more realistic things that's ever happened in The L Word universe is the endless list of Halloween options for our Gen Q friends. Alice and Taylor are getting cozy at home, in the time honored tradition of three-straight days of gay sex. Sophie, Finley and Dani hit Dana's for a costume party, while Shane is hitting on Ivy. And in search of more parenting advice from queer elders, Micah and Maribel meet none other than very special guest and original The L Word icon, Max, back from living his own happily ever after far, far away (spiritually, I mean, he's still in LA) from all of these messy weirdos, to grace us with his presence once more.

Well well well, we are halfway through the season, and things are getting heated! Not necessarily in a sexy way, but in more of a fighting and fire alarm and first kisses kind of way. Alice and Taylor are arguing in a movie theater, Shane and Tess are arguing on a balcony, and Sophie and Finley are only not arguing because the fire department is on their way! We're also getting a little heated on the pod this week! Not necessarily in an angry way, but (hopefully) in more of a sharing our thoughts about writing and representation kind of way. What better time than mid-way through the season?

Hold onto your hats because we have a musical episode! Not, sadly, a musical episode of this podcast, but this week The L Word finally graced us with the beauty of Rosanny Zayas voice, with the style of a 40s musical, and with an emotional gut punch of grief mixed with nostalgia mixed with TRUE LOVE. Before all that happens though: Alice is taking her staff (and Shane!) on a work retreat to do some ayahuasca and soul searching. Alice, Sophie and Shane experience hallucinations that drop them into three different musicals as they seek answers to their most pressing questions! Will Shane finally realize she's non-monogamous? Will Sophie figure out her sort of vague issue with Finley? Will Alice ever fall in love?! All this and more (namely, musical numbers!) await this week.
