The L word - Episode 204 "Lynch Pin"

This episode was very busy-busy and lots happened in quick little snippets. I am going to make this review a quick little snippet cause I'm not in the mood to get all typey-typey....So here goes : This episode marks the intro to a few new regular characters for season 2. Right off the bat we meet philanthropist offspring seductress named Helena Peabody...She looks like trouble to me. Later we meet Mark, Jenny and Shanes new videographer male roommate....He looks like trouble to me. Cameryn Manheim drops by to play the power-lady bitch extrodinaire movie producer "Veronica Bloom" who, like everyone in this show is taken by Shane and her sexy coolness. Shane is destined to be her new "assistant" - whatever THAT entails!? Bette goes to New York to try and persuade Helena Peabody to continue to support her art gallery but gets snubbed. Tired of being fucked around, Bette proceeds to get "fucked" around her hotel room with a hot piece of ass she picked up at the bar. Meanwhile ever-the-persistent lawyer Joyce Wishnia attempt to stick her sloppy tongue (did anyone else notice how slobbery she was) down Tina throat....Then tells her to relax, she's done it with pregnant women before. EEEEEW. Joyce is not cool. Tina bails on the crotchety ol' broad and promptly leaves the guest house. Where will she go????? Kit is off at a business seminar that results in getting the love vibes from the motivational speaker. Alice and Dana are on a double date at the amusement park - Alice's date is a guy, and Dana is a might bit jealous. Alice gets defensive and demands to know WTF? They share a pivotal kiss, and we are left to wait on its outcome. Jenny is crushing hard on Carmen, but she is still caught up in Shane. Jenny gets all wiggy and forlorn in her trademark fashion, feels she needs to look more the part and then asks Shane to Cut her hair short....Cut to credits.
