The L Word Deconstructed: Season 1, Episode 3

July 30, 2014 By Jacky Leave a Comment

For more info on this magnificent DECONSTRUCTED series by Kace, see here. To read about the pilot, which comprised episodes 101-102, please see here.

Let’s Do It – Episode 103

But first, a brief explanation of the time lapse.

The reason why there is such a gap between the end of Episode 101/102 (before Thanksgiving) and the start of Episode 103 (Mid-February) is that everything winds up being hinged on 2 moments, as well as the timeline’s need to skip over holidays.

Moment 1 is Trish mentioning her midterm, which would place the narrative no earlier than October, 2003.  There is also the fact that Tina has to wait a month before her next ovulation, which occurs near the end of the episode.

Moment 2 happens almost 7 minutes into this episode, when an appointment is made over the phone at Reviva Clinic for “Tuesday the 23rd” meaning this episode could be (for the sake of also skipping Valentine’s Day) no sooner than Monday, February 16th.  This also means that the episode could begin with Alice talking with Marc on Friday The 13th (which invokes luck, possibly bad) about The Chart (also the day before Valentine’s, which may explain Alice’s fascination with The Chart while single).

Going with February 16th as the day Alice arrives at Reviva, that gives enough time for Tina’s eventual miscarriage (5 weeks later), but also means that few if any days are wasted, which means skipping over St. Patrick’s Day will be a bit tough.

Day 1 (Friday, February 13th, 2004)

The first “Random Act,” set in present day Los Angeles.  Alice is at LA Magazine, speaking with Marc, the Assignment Editor or at the very least, the person Alice answers to when it comes to what items to do.  Here, we get another version of Alice’s Chart.  Not all names are visible, so those will be ignored.  Just as with The Chart whiteboard, these are the direct links.
