Besides, as Lara made the cake, no doubt Dana will refuse to eat even one
bite and make out it's the worst thing since sliced bread or something.
Dana smiles, but it's much like the forced smile of a child who's just been
made to kiss someone they detested.
Lara goes to cut Dana a piece but Dana says she's a feeling a little sick so
doesn't want any.
Lara reiterates it's Dana's favourite flavor and Dana snaps,
"I'M FUCKING SICK LARA! Just take it away......"
Hurt and embarrassed, Lara takes the cake away.
Everyone else quickly chips in though, to lighten the mood, saying they'd
love a piece.
Alice, sitting on her inflatable in the pool, asks if it's wedding cake.
Carmen (in an odd link, which I STILL can't figure out, and I'm on my third
viewing of this ep!) answers her, saying it's NOT wedding cake, and that
Alice is "just jealous cause me and my girlfriend are two Gold Stars that
have found each other!"
Er, A) what the frick does THAT have to do with Alice asking if the cake was
a wedding cake?
and
B) what the frack are "Gold Stars"?????
and
C) why oh why oh why can't Carmen's bikini top just happen to undo itself
and slip off at THAT moment?
Answers on a postcard please, to:
Ms S. F. Bard
Crowbar Plot Move Lane......
Kit, being the only straight woman there - i.e. only one who doesn't come up
with these bizarre 'sayings' that no one has heard of - asks The Hotness
That Is Carmen In A Bikini what exactly a "Gold Star" is.
Bette weighs in to explain:
"It's someone who's gay who's never had sex with a person of the opposite
sex".
OHHHHHHHHHHH. I see.
Ok, all of you out there who are gold stars, put your hands up!
*puts my hand up and puts my other hand up on behalf of my girlfriend, who's
currently in the next room cutting mount board up for her upcoming
photographic exhibition*
Jenny asks if SHE can be a gold star even though she's slept with guys.
Er, NOOOOO. Did you not just HEAR what Bette said? tsk tsk.
Shane sweetly says that Jenny can be "the Jewish star!" LOL!
Carmen adds that SHE is a "Latina gold star, covered in sequins" hehe.
She special! ;-)
Well, she certainly IS in that bikini top, I'll tell you that for nothin!
Bette laughs and shouts to everyone "SO HOW MANY GOLD STARS DO WE HAVE
HERE?"
Carmen and Shane raise their hands, as does Helena.
Jenny remarks about Helena and Ms Peabody replies by saying the public
schoolboys she shagged as a teenager.
Alice isn't convinced however and christens her a "Spoiled Star".
Ah, if it were last season Alice, you've know idea how right you'd be there
;-)
Helena flicks water at Alice for being cheeky to her and it's all good
friendly fun.
MANgus ventures that his mom was from Texas and always called herself a
"Lone star" as the only guy she ever slept with was his poppa.
Aaaaah! FINALLY an episode of The L Word with a title that actually ties in
with the story in it!
*applause*
Btw, is anyone else getting bored of all the episode titles starting with L?
Hardly any actually make sense to the story anyway.
It probably seemed a good idea at the time of season one, but let's say we
ditch it for season 4, eh?
Jolly good :-)
Shane's head whirls round at hearing that choice bit of info.
She can't imagine only sleeping with ONE person the WHOLE of your life.
Lara adds quickly that she can imagine that. That it sounds nice.
Dana looks over and looks away quickly.
Bette says Tina's mom is a 'Lone Star' too, and that prompts Dana to ask
where Tina is.
Lara reminds Dana that they've already been told she was going to Vancouver,
but as soon as "Vancouver" is out of her mouth, Dana is snapping at her,
saying she forgot that and "are you my memory monitor now?!"
Lara must be getting used to the barbs by now and simply turns away.
The atmosphere around the pool turns decidedly awkward so Dana gets up and
apologizes (but not directly TO Lara I noticed. More to everyone there)
saying she's going inside to lie down.
Lara asks if she wants her to come with.
Dana snaps a quick "NO" and Lara looks on despairingly as she retreats into
the house.
Dana IS treating Lara appallingly, there's no two ways about it.
I can understand WHY she's acting this way, but it still doesn't make it
right or fair on the soup chef.
Alice, still floating in the pool, watches the exchange but says nothing.
Cut to:
MoiraMax working at The Planet.
She's sorting out some of the lighting when Billie comes over and tells her
with clear admiration, "you're gettin' muscles".
I didn't know computer programmers were qualified electricians/grip logical
crew too! Handy that....
Billie blazes up a spliff and MoiraMax warns him he could get into trouble
for that, but Billie's got it covered - boss lady Kit is over at the "Chemo
clam bake" with the rest of the gang.
