    Author Notes:

    The “Holidays” continues the story of the refined and rebellious Dr. Sydney Livingston•passionate about her causes, love and life. In this segment, the serious Syd deals with the dual loss of her career and her mysterious long-time partner. It is a time of uncertainty as Syd pursues uncharted romance waters, and a time to discover a fresh identity in the world of her new L-Word friends

     

    PEGGY: Are you saying doctors are on the take?

     

    SYDNEY:  No, but I am suggesting that their objectivity may be compromised. (Syd takes a deep breath) I wouldn’t lie to you, while I assure you there is nothing illegal in what we are doing, it does ride a fine, gray line.  The scrutiny of customs when it comes to corporate jets lends themselves better to•shall we say•flying under the radar and not drawing attention to the cargo.  Using commercial jets gets more complicated.

     

    Peggy closes the file and rises.  She turns to look out the window, her back to Syd as she contemplates for a moment then turns to face Syd.  Peggy’s demeanor has softened.

     

    PEGGY:  Well I can see why my daughter is enamored by your passion, Syd.  (hesitates) Still, Helena often leads with her heart, and her involvement in your little scheme•however well intended•may be the result of judgment that is clouded by her desire for your attention. (Peggy walks toward Syd and sits on the edge of the desk in front of her) Therefore I cannot permit Helena to continue her involvement with the transport of medicine on your behalf.

     

    SYDNEY: (Interrupts to protest) Mrs. Peabody…

     

    Peggy raises her hand to Syd’s lips to silence her.  Peggy’s fingers linger on Syd’s lips for just a second.

     

    PEGGY: (Lowering her hand from Syd’s mouth) While I am not comfortable with Helena’s involvement, you may continue using our jets•but all arrangements will be made directly and privately between you and me.  Should there be any "gray areas" that you have not anticipated, it shall be the two of us who will rot in jail•or in hell•not my daughter.  Do I make myself clear?

     

    SYDNEY: Perfectly.

     

    Peggy raises and moves towards the door.

     

    PEGGY: (regressing to her domineering posture) As long as we understand each other, we are finished for today.

     

    Syd raises and joins Peggy the door.  Peggy hands Syd a card. 

     

    PEGGY: This is my private contact information.  You will be notified of all of our private jet flight in and out of Canada and Mexico.  You can then advise me of any further arrangements.

     

    SYDNEY: Thank you, Mrs. Peabody.

    1. I saw this pop up early in the week but waited to read it over the weekend. I wasn’t disappointed. I love this character’s maturity and passion for what she believes in. I relate to her wisdom yet insecurity–I mean, who hasn’t messed a bed to pretend it was slept in? I’ve read all the Syd stories (even re-read portions of the original re: the wonderful relationship conversation with Tasha and the revealing fireplace sceen). “Holidays” shows Syd’s vulnerable side. She’s still grounded, but unfocused and searching. Nicely written–it was a pleasant New Year’s surprise–thanks!
