    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

     

    SYDNEY:  I guess all three of us are haunted and could use a good exorcist. (smiling coyly) Maybe we could get a three-way discount? 

     

    The joke eases the tension and Alice smiles and turns back to finish her painting.

     

    ALICE: Just paint the god-damn wall; you’re good at building walls doc, now paint one.

     

    A panicked Max comes running into the area occupied by Alice and Syd. 

     

    MAX: (panting) Bette is hurt, come quickly!

     

     

    EXT.  HABITAT FOR HUMANITY – CONTINIOUS

     

    Bette is injured from a fall.  Kit, Shane and Helena are by her side.  Tasha looks on from a few feet away. Bette is withering in pain and holding her right arm.

     

    KIT: (looking at Syd desperately) Do something!

     

    Syd evaluates the situation, hesitates briefly, then takes charge.

     

    SYDNEY: Bette, you have a dislocated shoulder, I can give you relief until the ambulance comes, but it will hurt like hell for a second.

     

    BETTE: Just do it!

     

    Syd organizes the group to assist and snaps Bette’s shoulder back into place, relieving Bette’s pain.

     

    SYDNEY: (to Bette and Kit) Should we call Tina so she can meet us at the hospital?  

     

    BETTE: Yeah, she has the health proxy.  We took care of the paperwork after the stroke.

     

    Syd is pleased. 

     

    KIT:  We wouldn’t have the same hassle we had back then.

     

     

    INT. A LAKESIDE MOUNTAIN RESORT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE – THANKSGIVING DAY EARLY EVENING

     

    Bette, is playing with Angelica in the living room.  Tina, Alice, Shane, Helena, Tasha and Syd are clearing the table and doing dishes.

     

    TINA:  I’m so stuffed!

     

    HELENA:  I don’t think I will ever eat again.

     

    Shane nuzzles Syd playfully.

     

    SHANE: That was an amazing meal.

     

    TASHA: (to Syd) But now you get out of here•you made it, now we clean it up•that’s the deal.

     

    SYDNEY:  No, I can help.  Besides, it feels good to stand and move around a bit.

     

    HELENA: I know•after we finish here let’s go dancing!

     

    TINA:  What clubs would be open on Thanksgiving night?  We’re in the middle of the New Hampshire mountains!

     

    SYDNEY: Actually, there’s a local joint about 4 miles down the road.  It’s a straight bar, but pretty much anything goes•if you don’t go too far.

    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!
