    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

     

    TASHA: I can talk with you.

     

    SYDNEY: No, Tash, I don’t have the proper physiological training.  I can’t help you.

     

    TASHA: I don’t mean talking with you professionally•I mean personally•as a friend.  (playfully) We can talk about our nightmares from hte past and our dreams for the future.

     

    SYDNEY: I’m not sure that is good for our friendship.

     

    TASHA: Then we’ll establish boundaries and guidelines to preserve the friendship at all costs.

     

    SYDNEY: I’m not certain it will help.

     

    TASHA: But it can’t hurt. Nothing beats a failure but a try.

     

    Syd laughs.

     

    SYDNEY: Is that another one of your grandmother’s sayings?

     

    TASHA: Trust me on this one doc. (Tasha turns and begins to walk away.  Syd follows) Let’s take a nice slow walk back to the house and chat a bit.  Maybe I can start by telling you about the sex dream I had about you last week?

     

    SYDNEY:  Tasha!

     

    TASHA:  I’m just kidding–we’ll save that one for at least the 3rd session.

     

    Syd and Tasha walk back towards the house, talking and gesturing .

    EXT.  BETTE’S HOUSE, POOLSIDE – ONE WEEK LATER

     

    Bette is sitting in the lounge chair.  Tina hands her a cell phone.

     

    TINA: Call her, Bette.  This donor is too important.

     

    BETTE: It’s just so damn hypocritical.

    TINA: (forcefully) Call her.

     

    Tina leaves and Bette dials the phone.

     

    BETTE: Hi Syd, it’s Bette (listening) Yes, everyone’s doing fine (Bette takes a deep breathe to gather confidence) Syd, I have a favor to ask.  We have this couple who are a huge potential donor to the art department and I am flying to Philadelphia to have dinner with them next week…. (listening) Yes, yes, thanks, I’d love to stay with you•which brings me to my next point.  (Tina encourages Bette to continue) The wife of this couple is familiar with your clinic here in L.A.  Somehow it came up that you and I are friends and she’s insisting on meeting you.  Can you join us for dinner next Thursday?…(listening) Great•thanks (Bette takes a deep breathe)•and Syd, I know I gave you a really hard time about you and your ex-husband using each other as "dates" at heterosexual events, so I have absolutely no business asking this, but can Paul join you, and…and…can Peter accompany me?

    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!
