  3. Laura’s L Word origin story was indeed epic! This episode is better written than last week’s disaster, but Mark is still there making me regret every time I found 90s Ethan Hawke attractive.
    It’s bi visibility month, at least let me keep Before Sunrise!

  4. Laura’s story is epic , tbh it will be hard to find a story to top that viewing party with Ilene and Jennifer Beals.

    Thank you all again for the banter, I think this week was my favourite episode !
