I won’t beat around the bush here: it was the most painful episode of The L Word (OG and Gen Q) I ever had to watch.

But hey, I’m a tough cookie, so just shouting at my device when events really became too far stretched and ridiculous to even be remotely believable, helped me through.

“I don’t know how you married her”. Tina is infuriated: “What? What do you mean, she’s the mother of my daughter!”, and it only goes downhill from there. Victory #3.
