Good morning to the seagulls and Helena Peabody’s glistening skin, it’s time for a VERY SEXY episode of The L Word in which Tina and Bette reunite for a little afternoon delight, Jenny and Carmen warm the porcelain together, Dana goes strap-on shopping, Tina is living her best Robe Life and wants to get the neighbors involved. Bette and Helena meet up for a top-off at the CAC with special guest Allyn Barnes and we all get a sneak-peak of our favorite short film, “Shane/Carmen Love Confession.”
