    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

     

     

    INT. BETTE AND TINA’S HOUSE – CHRISTMAS EVENING

     

    Bette, Tina, Kit and Max are all chatting in the living room.  There are boxes and torn wrapping paper strewn throughout the room.  Shane and Carmen are playing with Angelica.  Alice and her new girlfriend are snuggling on the couch.  Syd knocks on the door and enters.  Bette and Tina greet her.

     

    TINA: I was beginning to worry about you.  Shane has been here for hours.

     

    SYDNEY: I’m so sorry to be late. Shane escaped before the battle of Family Feud heated up. I just could not desert my teammates.

     

    TINA:  (kidding) Loyal to the end.

     

    Syd hands Tina a bottle of wine and a box of candy.  Syd has another bag in her hands.

     

    SYDNEY: I’m beat and can only stay a few minutes, but I wanted to be certain to get this to Angelica.

     

    Syd walks over to where Shane and Carmen are playing with Angelica.  Shane and Carmen stand.  Shane hugs Syd but there is an air of awkwardness in the room.

     

    SHANE: I hope your team won.

     

    SYDNEY: (kidding) Well, at the risk of being immodest, we did manage to squeak out a victory.

     

    Shane shuffles and looks at her feet.  Sydney steps forward to introduce herself to Carmen.

     

    SYDNEY: And you must be Carmen.  (Syd embraces Carmen warmly).  I have so looked forward to meeting you.

     

    CARMEN: (relieved by the warm greeting) It’s a pleasure meeting you, Dr. Livingston.  Shane has told me so much about you.

     

    SYDNEY: Please, call me Syd.

     

    Syd turns her attention to Angelica.

     

    SYDNEY: Angelica, this is for you.

     

    ANGELICA: Thank you Aunt Syd.  (to Shane) can you help me open it?

     

    Angelica takes the package and moves off with Shane to open it, leaving Carmen and Syd standing together. 

     

    SYDNEY: (to Tina, smiling) Aunt Syd?  I’ve been "titled?"

     

    TINA:  You should be honored. (shuffles at the awkwardness of Carmen’s presence)  So how are you enjoying your L.A. Christmas?

     

    SYDNEY: I could use a little snow but otherwise it’s been wonderful.

     

    TINA: There’ll be plenty of snow in the mountains for New Years.

    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!
