Shane, for her part, also finds herself open to parenthood, though to a giant dog she finds eating garbage on the street, and not to the child Quiara will eventually try again to have after she processes her miscarriage.Īnd after a discouraging reunion full of misgendering with his mom, Micah sees himself through Shirtless Neighbor’s eyes in our finale - he’s been painted as what looked to me like a beautiful merman - and likes what he sees, until a chance conversation lets him know Shirtless Neighbor has been married this whole time. So Alice is maybe cancelled as a show but not as a lover, and Bette, after losing to her secretly pro-opioid-crisis opponent, won’t be mayor of Los Angeles but will be a more honest, open, and available mom to Angie, who isn’t having sex yet. Though, since I’m assuming AL((I))CE isn’t live, maybe the couple will pause and decide to not air that moment of their lives. Having made the decision to go with a chat with the original Bad Feminist over a viral video written by that idiot Drew, Alice’s show might be saved by this on-camera love declaration. Speaking of numbers, Alice ends this season with just one girlfriend, as Nat busts onto the set of AL((I))CE to win her back, having decided reuniting with Gigi would really limit the number of jumpsuits she has access to, or actually I think she loves the way Alice makes eggs. Wait, did Dani meet Tina? I’d like to see that. Yes, Bette’s suits and composure and hair and face and tone of voice and big dyke energy are compelling enough to hit like a bucket of water dropped from above, but Bette is ultimately pretty selfish and disconnected from the consequences of her decisions. I hope it’s Finley, because Dani’s gonna have a tough road ahead when she sees that following Bette Porter to the ends of the earth doesn’t always pay off.
Yes, we see her waiting to board a plane back home to Kansas City where her judgmental Catholic family awaits.Īnd maybe Sophie is going with her? We won’t know until next season, as the finale cuts out on Sophie’s face as she decides to either elope with Dani in Hawaii or go after Finley. But in “Lapse in Judgment,” Finley comes out on top (well, Sophie is on top) even after screwing her best friend in Roxane Gay’s dressing room because, thanks to some spiritual guidance from a way-nicer-than-I-would-be Rebecca, Finley learns to take responsibility for her actions and face the pain from which she’s been running. She started messy, and bottomed out with a succession of messy choices, from “You’re not a real priest” and on-the-job/just-after-the-job sex with rebounding Tess to the hospital kiss heard round the genitals during last week’s episode. Finale time! Or should I say Finley time? Because for this season of The L Word: Generation Q, Finley seems to be our big winner.
