Season 1


Season 1, Episode 1: Pilot

18 January 2004
Art gallery manager Bette Porter and social worker Tina Kennard have been a couple for seven years and want to start a family. Their next-door neighbor, Tim Haspel, who works as the assistant coach of a girls swim team at UCLA, is about to form a couple when his girlfriend, a talented young writer named Jenny Schecter, moves in after graduating from college in Iowa with the desire to start writing her first novel. Soon, after mixing with Bette and Tina's circle of lesbian friends at a party where Jenny has a brief sexual encounter with Marina Ferrer, an attractive European woman who runs The Planet, their local coffeehouse hangout, Jenny learns that her mid-west university education may not have prepared her for what she will learn about life, lust and love in Los Angeles among the lesbian community. Bette and Tina's other friends include; Dana Fairbanks, a prim and proper, conservative tennis player who dreams of making it big, but who is closeted; Alice Pieszecki, a liberal and 'out-of-the-closet' magazine writer who has not had any luck in the dating service for some time and sets in motion a 'conquest chart' to see who has been with who; Shane McCutcheon is an unkempt, sexually aggressive, hairstylist who's unapologetic lifestyle of one-night stands begins to catch up with her when one conquest, Lacey, refuses to take no for an answer to get lost. Rounding out the group is Bette's older, straight, half-sister Kit Porter, whom has problems dealing with her sagging singing career and alcoholism.

Season 4, Episode 12: Long Time Coming

25 March 2007
Paige decides it's time to confess the truth to her son, Jared, about her romance with Shane. When Jared reacts negatively, Shane tries consider a more permanent solution by considering buying a house so they all can live together. Alice has a hard time accepting that Tasha is heading back to Iraq for another tour of duty and feels betrayed that Tasha never revealed her intentions of returning to war before allowing Alice to fall in love with her. Helena looks for a way out from the evil Catherine's financial clutches and seizes an opportunity (with both hands) to get out of the gambling high life... by stealing all of Catherine's ill-gotten cash and splitting town. Papi helps spearhead a beach side going away party for Tasha. Bette gets a heaping dose of honesty from Tina when she looks to her for advice on wooing back Jodi who's left for upstate New York, which leads Bette to ask Alice and Shane for help to construct a large artwork to win Jodi back. Tina returns to the lesbian fold and Kate Arden lets her know she's interested, but Tina has eyes for someone else: Bette. Phyllis gets more than legal advice from Joyce Wischnia when she pursues a divorce. Fearing that the mentally unbalanced, sociopath Jenny may cause the studio to pull out of producing 'Lez Girls,' Tina and Kate Arden unwisely decide to exclude her from a meeting with executives. But Jenny uncovers their plans and barges in the meeting anyhow, and apparently ruins the whole deal. But later, Kate has a surprise for Jenny by firing Jenny and hiring the vindictive Stacey Merkin to take over the screen writing for the movie. Also, Max decides to go to San Francisco to get his final gender change surgery underway, and Kit slowly becomes warmer to Angus once again.

Looking towards Shane, Jenny (more angry and cynical then ever) vows revenge...
