    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

     

    KIT: (dancing with glee) Neither one of us carries the gene that pre-disposes us to breast cancer.

     

    SHANE: What are you two talking about?

     

    BETTE: Both or our mother’s died at young ages from breast cancer.

     

    KIT: So did our paternal grandmother.

     

    BETTE: When I was in the hospital for this (motioning to her arm) we decided to be tested to see if we had the gene that causes breast cancer.

     

    KIT: And we don’t!

     

    ALICE: Does this mean you can’t get it?

     

    BETTE: No, we still need to do routine exams, etc., but we are not predisposed genetically to breast cancer.

     

    KIT: Seems we have our dad’s genes not our moms’.

     

    BETTE: What exactly did the doctor say?

     

    KIT: You can listen to your message, but he said that there was no genetic match, we do not carry the breast cancer gene, and everything else looked normal and A-OK.

     

    TINA: Thank God.

     

    KIT: Yeah, but I’m not gonna let my guard down until I speak with Syd.

     

    SHANE: What does Syd have to do with it?

     

    BETTE: Kit doesn’t trust doctors so we authorized Syd to receive copies of all of our medical records and test results.

     

    KIT: And made her promise on Susan’s soul that she’d tell us the truth and be straight with us.

     

    ALICE:  Well I’m not sure tonight is the night to talk with Syd about anything.

     

    Kit looks around for Syd.

     

    KIT: Where is Syd?

     

    SHANE: We’re forcing her to take the night off•our turn to cook.  So don’t be hitting her up for any free medical advice tonight•deal?

     

    KIT: It can wait until morning.

     

    Shane hands a plate of appetizers to Tasha.

     

    SHANE: Take this to Syd•a peace offering.

     

    Tasha turns to leave the room and deliver the appetizers to Syd.

     

    INT. CHATEAU SECOND FLOOR LIVING SPACE – MINUTES LATER

     

    Syd has her laptop sprawled across her knees as she reads her email.

     

    SYDNEY: (mumbling to herself) Shit!

     

    Syd closes her laptop and turns her attention to the sunset though the large picture window.  A fire crackles in the fireplace.  Tasha enters and places the appetizers on the table next to Syd.

    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!
