Recap of The L Word, Episode 5
"Labyrinth"

By Kathy Belge, About.com

The Bachelorette Party

It’s bachelorette party time for Dana and Tonya. Yes, despite requiting her feelings for Alice, Dana appears to be going along with the wedding to Tonya. Good thing same-sex marriage is not legal in California any more, Dana.

Tina, how could you bring Helena Peabody to the party? That’s just plain tacky. We know Bette’s been a jerk, but, do you have to rub ALL THAT in her face? Alice has to get up and give a toast to her soul mate who is about to marry a freak. You show such class, Alice. Why can’t Bette show the same class and keep her mouth shut. No, she has to get up and give a toast, which surprise, surprise, is really all about her.

The show ends with Marc filming Shane and her trick of the night. I don’t like it. The only thing that keeps me from breaking the television is the knowledge of the kind of pain Shane can and will inflict on Marc when she finds out. I fear it’s going to be a while before that happens.

Will the wedding happen? Will Tina let Helena kiss her? Will Jenny and Carmen get it on? Tune in next week.
