    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

     

    Tina realizes that she has put her foot in her mouth and shifts her eyes away from Carmen’s awkwardly.

     

    SYDNEY: (to Carmen) I’ve invited the gang to my lake house in the mountains for New Year’s Eve. Right now they have about 3 feet of snow.  I hope you’ll be able to join us.

     

    CARMEN: (pleased and surprised by the invitation) Really?  I wouldn’t want to intrude.

     

    SYDNEY:  Nonsense, there is plenty of space and I’d love to have you.

     

    CARMEN: Thank you, I accept.

     

    Tina intervenes to avoid another awkward silence.

     

    TINA: (to Syd) Can I take your coat?

     

    SYDNEY: No really, I can’t stay.  I just wanted to drop in for a few minutes.  I’ll see you next week.

     

    TINA:  Are you sure you can’t stay.

     

    Syd makes eye contact with Tina.

     

    SYDNEY: (a little sadly) No, please understand, I really can’t.

     

    TINA: (nods sympathetically) I understand.

     

    Shane sees Syd leaving and calls after Syd.

     

    SHANE: (to Syd) Wait, I’ll walk you to your car.

     

    Shane and Syd leave.

     

    TINA: (whispering to Bette and looking after Syd) That was a class act.

     

    BETTE: Did you expect anything less from Syd?

     

     

    EXT. SYDNEY’S HOUSE IN L.A. – LATER THAT EVENING

     

    Syd gets out of her car and approaches the front door.  Tasha emerges from the side bushes.

     

    SYDNEY: Tash?  Did you just get here?

     

    TASHA: Just pulled up a couple minutes ago.

     

    SYDNEY: That was good timing.

     

    TASHA: (smiling coyly) I must confess, Bette called.

     

    SYDNEY: Ahh, another intervention.

     

    TASHA: No….(Tasha pulls out a bottle of wine from under her coat and a couple DVDs from her pocket•she smiles playfully) To quote from your favorite movie, I just had this "scathingly brilliant idea."

     

    Syd smiles broadly.

     

    SYDNEY: Come on in–I’ll make the popcorn.

     

    INT. SYD’S HOUSE – SOMETIME LATER THAT EVENING

     

    Syd and Tasha are on the couch munching on popcorn, drinking wine, laughing, and then later crying at some silly holiday movie.  A fire is blazing in the fireplace.

     

    INT. SYD’S HOUSE – SOMETIME LATER

     

    The fire has died, the wine bottle is empty; the TV screen is blue-blank and Syd and Tasha are sound asleep on opposite ends of the couch.

    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!
