    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 turns her attention to Tasha.

     

    SYDNEY: What do you know about all this?

     

    TASHA: Nothing.  I just felt those two were scoundrels, making mischief from all the media attention that surrounded Susan’s death.

     

    Bette stands, wincing a bit at her sore arm.  Bette glares at Jenny.

     

    BETTE:  This is all bull shit.  Sorry Syd.

     

    Tina stands.

     

    TINA:  Let’s forget this conversation ever happened.  Who’s helping with dinner?

     

    Shane moves to place her hand on Syd’s knee but Syd recoils coolly.  Shane feels the rejection.

     

    SHANE:  Everyone but Syd. (to Syd) you did way too much work for Thanksgiving.  It’s your night off.

     

    They all leave the room, leaving Syd alone, staring at the sunset over the snowy lake.

     

    INT:  CHATEAU KITCHEN – MINUTES LATER

     

    Bette, Tina, Shane, Alice and Tasha are preparing dinner. 

     

    ALICE: Well that intervention was fucking awkward.  Syd seems really pissed.  But you know it’s weird…

     

    TASHA:  What’s weird?

     

    ALICE:  Did you ever notice that sometimes you learn more from what Syd doesn’t say than by what she says?

     

    TASHA: Meaning?

     

    ALICE: Meaning she didn’t say it wasn’t true, just said she didn’t know Petra and Lynn. And based on Syd’s new lifestyle, the part about her inheriting Susan’s fortune sure seems to have merit.  She has that great L.A. place, the magnificant lake house in the mountains, she just purchased a farmhouse estate outside of Philadelphia, and she’s treating us to this chateau for the second time in as many months….

     

    TASHA: (interupting) Cut it out Alice, the truth is you have no idea what Syd’s financial situation is or ever was•you’re speculating.

     

    ALICE: But what if…

     

    TASHA (interrupts angrily) Just drop it God-damn it.  It’s Syd’s business and no one else’s.

     

    Kit enters the room from outside.

     

    KIT: Burrrr, damn it’s cold out there.

     

    Kit’s attention turns immediately to Bette.

     

    KIT: Hey baby girl, did you get a message from Dr. Orlando?

     

    BETTE: I haven’t checked my voice messages.  Did you?

     

    Kit is beaming ear to ear.

     

    KIT: I most certainly did•my results and yours.

     

    TINA: And?

    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!
