    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

     

    Syd is skeptical of the excuse for Helena’s departure.

     

    TINA: I worry about Peggy and Helena’s relationship since Helena has taken over the foundation.  We read so much about the difficulty of being the child of a powerful parent, but what happens when roles reverse and the parent becomes over-shadowed by the child?  I don’t see Peggy easing into the "senior" category smoothly.

     

    BETTE:  I think Peggy thinks of herself more as an original then a senior Peabody.  And Helena is hardly a junior•they aren’t duplicates of each other.

     

    The room falls again into an uncomfortable silence.  Alice takes a deep breath.

     

    ALICE: Actually Syd, we were talking about you when you came in…you and Helena.

     

    TASHA (reprimanding) Al….

     

    ALICE: (to Shane) Go ahead, talk with her.

     

    Shane shifts uncomfortably, clears her throat and leans forward to begin speaking to Syd.

     

    SHANE: Syd, Helena was acting crazy all weekend•we all noticed it, you probably did too.

     

    ALICE: Helena was never good at hiding a secret, especially about sex.

     

    Syd’s face freezes, completely motionless.  Shane reaches forward and takes Syd’s hands in hers.

     

    SHANE: Actually Syd, we all know your secret…about…about the infidelity.

     

    Tasha watches closely as the color drains form Syd’s face.  Syd remains completely frozen and her eyes locked with Shane’s

     

    SHANE (continues) We were all in The Planet the night Petra and Lynn came over to us and told us about  Susan.

     

    Alice moves forward to assist.

     

    ALICE: About Petra being Susan’s long-time lover, even when you and Susan were together.  They also claimed that you inherited a fortune from Susan and questioned the motives behind the euthanasia.

     

    Syd’s eyes scan the room.   She hesitates, then speaks slowly and softly.

     

    SYDNEY: I don’t know anyone named Petra.

     

    ALICE:  Well they both seem to know you quit well…and Petra claims to have known Susan extremely well.

     

    Syd turns an icy stare toward Alice.  Syd’s voice is stern and as  icy as her stare.

     

    SYDNEY: Perhaps you did not hear me.  I said I do not know the Petra or Lynn you are referring to.

     

    BETTE (interjects to stop the session) Well, Tasha was right.  Those two were frauds.

    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!
