The L Word: Generation Q...

[Alice]
I thought last night

was great.

She's my ex-wife.

-Do you want me to leave?
-No.

-Okay, we are getting somewhere.
-So you're a throuple now?

Wait, wait, what are you,
what are you saying?

-[both] Throuple.
-It's a couple plus one.

You were wondering if I could
get over the whole priest thing.

Well, I can because
you're not a real priest.

[Rebecca]
I don't know



who hurt you,
but somebody did.

You need to work
on your own shit.

What the hell is wrong with you?

You were just gonna slip in
that biological parent clause?

I'm trying to do
what's best for my family.

She is your family.

There's not going
to be a prenup.

-We're not done discussing this.
-Fuck you.

Hey!

We need to end this.

What am I supposed to do now?

I don't know.

What do we do, huh?
You've got an event.

Do we all get ready together?



Hold hands in our
floor-length gowns?

I have to tell you
something.

-I'm pregnant.
-What?

She processes everything alone.

I mean, how
do I get her

to open up to me?

It's my dad.

[crying] I hate him because
he doesn't understand...

[panting]

I just wanted to let you know
that I don't need you.

I just want you.

-You are amazing.
-Shut up.

No, you were.
I'm serious.

Hey, Bette Porter,
I need to talk to you.

-Ow!
-Goddamn it!

Keep your fucking
hands off her.

-[groans]
-[line rings]

[overlapping chatter]

We're here outside
Bette Porter's home

awaiting answers
from her campaign.

Last night, mayoral
candidate Bette Porter

allegedly assaulted
Tyler Adams.

Porter has been having
an affair with his wife,

despite recently denying
their status on The Alice Show.

Her opponent Jeff Milner
is still committed to running

a clean campaign, but couldn't
help but mention he's not

the least bit surprised
by Porter's latest missteps.

-Alice.
-Alice, can we get
one comment, please?

[overlapping chatter]

Did you lie for her?

Can you answer the question?

[overlapping chatter]

What do you have to say
for yourself?

Right, but she was completely
justified in doing so.

[knocking]

All I'm asking
is for time.

She wants to talk
to us and her family

before she makes
a decision.

-[sighs] Hey.
-[Alice] God, they're animals.

Thank you so much for coming.
I'm sorry about all of this.

No, no, it's okay.

It's really not okay.

She can bounce back
from this.

I'm really,
I'm really sorry, Alice.

For which part?
For defending you on my show,

or for not telling me you
started seeing Felicity again?

I'm... both. I'm sorry

-about both.
-Why didn't you tell us?

Why are you looking at her?

[Shane]
Look, it's complicated,

and-and-and-and

-she's been through a lot.
-Holy shit. You knew?

-You knew?
-Calm down. Calm down.

No, no, please don't
be mad at her.

Oh, my God, this is so much
fucking worse, you guys.

Alice, I am so sorry.

-I can't do this right now.
-Alice, wait, just wait.

[Shane] Hey, Bette,
Bette, Bette, let her go.

She'll cool off.

You all right?

No.

Is Angie here?

She spent the night at Jordi's.

[sighs]

We're both pretty shaken
up after last night,

and I just wanted her
to go have fun.

-Good. Yeah.
-You know?

[phone chimes]

-Shit.
-What?

I was supposed to take her
to the DMV today.

She's supposed to have
her driver's test today.

How did I, how did
I forget that?

-How am I supposed to do that?
-You can't.

Everyone's gonna be
following you everywhere.

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.

All right, all right, all right.
Here's an idea, here's an idea.

I have to go to the bar,

and then I have
to go pick up Quiara,

and then we can take her.

-Really?
-Yes, really.

Anything you want,
my friend, anything you need.

What?

[crying]
I just...

Talk to me. What?

I can't do this anymore.

I can't.

-I can't do it.
-Okay, what-what-what...

-That's just... I can't.
-What-what can't you do, Bette?

I can't. I...
I have to drop out.

Bette, you are allowed
Oto drop out any time you want.

That's right.

-That's right. Okay.
-Yeah.

That's what I need.
I'm gonna do it

right now, just
get it over with.

[Dani]
Hey, Bette, I...

Bette. Bette. Bette,
I can get you out of this.

-I just need one minute.
Just give me--
-No, no. It's over.

I can't want
this anymore.

-You cannot go out there.
-I can't.

You cannot tell me
what to fucking do.

[sighs]

Angie called me.

[laughs]

Ooh.

[sighs]

Good morning.

Hi.

[sighs]

I am fucking parched.

I'll be right back.

[sighs]

Fuck.

Fuck. Fuck.

One mimosa, no ice for you.

Um, no, that's not a...

that's not a good idea.

Um, I need to...

I need to call my sponsor.

Um, I need to go to a meeting.

-Oh.
-Yo.

-Shane, um...
-What the fuck is this?

Um, I'm sorry. Uh...

You know this is
a fireable offense, right?

Yes, of course.

Well, we were just
having a couple drinks.

I thought you were sober.

[sighs]

I was.

All right, just
clean this shit up.

Yeah.

Um...

Tess, I am so
sorry. I did...

No, please.
Don't apologize. Um...

None of this is
your fault, okay?

Fuck.

-[siren wailing]
-[indistinct chatter]

No. If she has notes,

she has to get 'em
into you by three o'clock,

or they're not gonna be folded
into the network cut. Yes.

I'll be back
in the office Tuesday.

Sorry I left
in such a hurry.

Mm-hmm. Thanks
for understanding.

Okay. I'll call you
later. Bye.

-Sorry about that.
-No, it's okay.

How was the play?

Which part?

Well, was Jordi good?

Angie said she was nervous.

She was great... but...

What?

I don't know how
I feel about her.

What do you mean?

She makes me nervous.

[laughs]

Well, anyone
that likes our daughter

is gonna make us nervous.

Mm.

[sighs]

Do you think
they've had sex?

No.

They haven't even kissed yet.

Oh.

Good. [sniffles]

Well, that's one thing
I've done right, I guess.

You are doing a lot right.

Do you want to tell me
what happened last night?

Uh...

Well, we were, um... we
were all leaving the play.

It was me and
Angie and Jordi.

And... and I
could hear him

before I saw
him, you know?

He was screaming my name.

I had the car keys,

and I-I gave them to
Angie, and I said, "Get to

the car."
[sniffles]

And then... and then he comes
barreling up the stairs at me.

And then Angie stepped in
between us,

almost like to protect me
or something. [sniffles]

And then he, uh...

he pushed her down
to the ground.

He put his hands
on our daughter,

and he fucking pushed
her to the ground.

So, I-I...

I pushed him, and
he fell backwards,

and I thought for a second...

[muttering]

[sighs]

-Okay.
-[sniffles]

Is he, um...
is he gonna press charges?

I don't know.
I don't know...

I don't know
what's gonna happen.

[laughing]

[phone buzzing]

I don't know
what's gonna happen.

Oh, shit, um...

I got to take this, okay?

Yes, I'm here.
It's okay.

Everything's okay. I...

No, I haven't seen her yet.

I'm sorry I didn't
call you before I left.

It's not a good time.
Can I call you back?

♪ I need you to scream
and then hang up on me... ♪

Just so fucking annoyed!

I can tell.

Really going in
on that sando.

Oh. She left at four
o'clock in the morning,

and I haven't heard
from her since.

Yeah.

Kind of reminds me
of my mom.

What?

Yeah. She's like
a super-cold hot lady.

Who? Dani
or your mom?

Both.

You know what?

You... you're a
fucking freak.

-Yeah, you love it.
-[laughing]

You'd like my mom. She's hot.
She's a fucking stud.

Where do you think
these legs came from?

This face?
What, are you kidding me?

Oh, yeah, well,
at least you talk to me.

Of course I talk to you.

I love talking to you.

You're, like,
the freaking best, dude.

Well, if you love
talking to me so much,

why don't you tell me
what happened last night?

Mmm...

You know what? I'm gonna
crush this sando first,

and then go take a nip dip.

-Hmm.
-Nip dip.

I just came up with that.

Like a poet.

Like a regular
Emily Dickerstein.

Yeah.

She a little stupid.

[crowd clamoring]

[speaking indistinctly]

That's utterly inflammatory.

It was not an assault.

She did what any decent mother
in her situation would do.

No. That is not our
official statement.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

You'll be the first
to know when we have one.

-Fuck.
-What's going on?

Trying to convince donors
to trust Bette,

but it's a hard sell because
I don't fucking trust her.

I know this is hard.

It's hard on all of us.

[exhales]

I'm sorry, when did you find out

that Bette was still
sleeping with Felicity?

Because I found out
this morning.

-I was just doing my job.
-Dani,

-you should've told me.
-It wouldn't have made

-a difference.
-I don't like being lied to.

You've been in politics
for so long,

I thought you'd be
used to it by now.

I have spent my career
supporting people

who I believe would
do the least harm.

And Bette was supposed
to be better than that.

I'm sorry she disappointed you.

It's not about just me,
Dani, it's about us.

You, me,
those kids at the center.

I'm a trans man.

And seeing someone like
Bette Porter become mayor

means that-that people like me
might live a better life.

I mean, she was supposed
to be the one to pave the way

so that someone like me
could be in charge someday.

I understand that,
but she can still win.

[laughs softly]

You know, people have been
looking for any reason

to write off this campaign,
and she has given them plenty.

[sighs]

You have every right to be mad,

but you can't deny
that she's special.

She's inspiring.

She inspires me every day.

I've never felt like that
about anyone before.

I know it might be hard
for you to see right now,

but she's worth it.

[sighs]

I see.

What?

Yeah.

Yeah, this is, this is
something else for you.

What's that supposed to mean?

She's gotten to you.

No, no, she hasn't.

-This is...
-Good luck.

-Where are you going?
-You know,

I really wanted her to be
the one to change the world,

but I think I'm gonna

have to do it on my own.

Goodbye, Dani.

[door opens, closes]

[Shane]
How do you think she's doing?

-She's gonna pass, right?
-[Quiara] Relax.

I'm sure she's doing fine.

-She seems like a smart kid.
-No, she's a fucking genius.

I just don't trust these people.

[chuckles]

[Darcie]
Like, holy shit.

You're Quiara.

-Yeah.
-Oh, my God, I loved your set

at Glastonbury last year.
I...

-It was absolutely amazing.
-Oh.

Thank you.

Do you mind if I take
a picture with you?

No, not at all.
Let's do it.

You want me to do it?

[Darcie]
Yes, thank you.

-You ready?
-Yes.

Okay. One, two...

-[both laugh]
-Three. All right.

-[Darcie] Thank you so much.
-Of course.

-Nice meeting you.
-You, too.

-She's got good taste.
-Oh, shut up.

[laughs]

-Hey.
-So?

I passed.

-I knew it. I knew you would.
-Yes!

[chuckles]
Yeah.

All right, well,
you know what that means.

What? What do you mean?

Anywhere you want to go.

Really?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

[laughs]
Okay.

-Okay, sweet. Let's go.
-[Quiara] Let's do it.

-Ready?
-Yes.

All right, honey, let's go.

[Alice]
You should've seen

their faces.

They were, like...

you know, shocked but guilty.
You know that look?

Mm-hmm.

Why didn't she just tell me?

It's not like I'm gossipy.

I'm not.

That's just my persona.

She was probably just scared.

-Of what?
-[Nat] You know,

sometimes, in life,
we avoid the people

who are gonna tell us the truth.

Okay. This isn't helping.

Hey. You're a really
good friend to her.

-Yeah.
-Thank you.

-Yeah, you are.
-Thank you.

You're amazing.
I'm sorry.

Y'all are making me
so homesick.

I wish my best friends
lived in L.A. [chuckles]

We're not friends.

[Toni]
Oh.

Okay.

Wow.
[laughs softly]

Um. Are y'all ready
for the check?

-Yeah, check would be awesome.
-[Nat] You know what?

I think we're gonna
need a minute.

Okay, I'll just be back

in a sec, then. Yeah.

I love your show.

Oh, thank you.

Ugh, great.

What did I do?

That's new.

I like it.

Oh. Thanks.

Got it a couple months ago
at Fahey/Klein.

I miss that place.

[chuckles softly]

[phones chiming]

-Oh, thank God.
-[chuckles] She passed.

She probably would've blamed me
if she hadn't.

You know, I hated
teaching her.

I just panicked the whole time.

She got so mad when I was
teaching how to parallel park

that she actually made me
get out of the car

and watch her do it from the
other side of the parking lot.

[laughs] Oh, my God,
she is so much like you.

You, too.

[sighs]

I hope we haven't
screwed her up entirely.

I mean me.
I hope I haven't

just screwed her up.

You're a good mom.

So are you.

I'm just glad that you were able
to create so much space for her.

Of course.

[chuckles]

What?

Nothing. You just...

That doesn't
come natural to you.

What are you saying?

You could never do that for me.

You just...

took up so much space.

[exhales]

You know, for as long
as I can remember,

I've been able
to identify what I want

and I've been willing
to pursue it.

Do you really think
I should apologize for that?

I'm not asking you to apologize.

But I definitely put
your career first,

your feelings first--

I never asked you to do that.

You didn't have to.
Everything was on your timeline,

on your terms.

I don't think that's fair.

[chuckles]
Of course you don't.

Because you're never wrong.

Look around.

I am wrong
all the fucking time.

Are you still seeing that woman?

I broke up with her yesterday.

Before any of this
even happened.

Just should've done it sooner.

That would have been helpful.

You know, Felicity was there
for me when Kit died.

I wish I could've been there.

You could have at least come
to the funeral.

I would have made it harder
for you.

I was trying to protect you.

How was that protecting me?

We had just
gotten divorced.

I had just left.

It would have been very
confusing if I had shown up.

Such a bullshit excuse.

We needed that space.

You needed that space.

I needed that space.

You should have been there.

I thought you were my family.

Whoa. All right.

Yeah, you can borrow a bathing

Nah, I like to be free.

You're a mess.

Dude,
don't say that.

I had a dark night
last night, okay?

Bro, you are
not responsible

for-for Tess's actions,
all right?

No, I know, but I fucked up,
dude. I know I did.

No, no, no, no, no.
She's a grown-ass woman.

She was gonna drink
with or without you.

Maybe.

Am I, like, broken?

What?

No.

No, but...

[exhales]
I mean, seriously. Like...

What if I can never,
like, get my shit together?

Like, am I too damaged
to be with somebody?

No. Dude, no.

You're-you're not damaged.

Then why won't she be with me?

Oh, fuck.

Oh, I miss Rebecca.

[sputters]

Goodbye, forever.

Oh, no.
Okay.

Well-well, what can I do?
How can I help?

Hey, do you, um...
[clicks tongue]

You want some Froyo?
I can rally up for some Froyo.

No, I just don't want
to feel like this anymore.

Fuck. All right. Okay.

Fuck this.
We're going out tonight.

We need to have some fun.

-Really?
-Oh.

Fucked up. You and me.

-Ha! Yes! Bro night!

-Yes!
-Let's do it.

[exhales]

Is this Jordi's house?

Yep.

All right.

[clears throat]

How do you know
if you love someone?

[exhales]

Uh, do you want to
help me out with this?

Well, um...

Okay. Um...

I had this photo shoot
for French Vogue.

-Oh, God. Oh.
-Okay.

-[chuckles] You're doing that.
-[chuckles]

-Yeah, I'm doing that to you.
-All right.

Um, and I walked into the studio

and I saw her
for the first time.

And she was backlit,

-and she was moving.
-You know what,

-your memory is very dramatic.
-[laughing]so e

Just-just tell her
what really happened, please.

Okay. Okay.
So, this photographer,

um, this French dude.

-His name was Bernard.
-Yeah. No, Gerard.

-Gerard, yes.
-Gerard.

Um, he calls me to set.

And your Uncle Shane here
says no.

Not because I was being rude
or difficult.

It's because
you weren't ready yet,

-and he was rushing me along.
-Okay.

[Quiara]
But he starts yelling at her,

in French.
Calls her la putain.

-La putain.
-What does that mean?

-"Bitch."
-Oh.

Which happens to be the only
word in French she knows.

-[chuckles]
-Of course.

-He was a fucking dick.
-He was.

So I stepped in
and I start translating for him.

And, automatically, she assumes
that I'm on his side.

Well, what-what do you expect me
to think? I don't speak French.

-No, you don't. It's really sad.
-No, I don't. But can I--

Let me-- let me tell you
the-the happy part, okay?

Mm.

-You asked me out to dinner.
-I did.

-Remember?
-Mm-hmm.

And then,

afterward, we walked
around the city.

And I think we walked

till the sun came up,

-didn't we?
-We did.

Yes. She asked me
so many questions

-about myself. Too many.
-No, I didn't.

-I didn't.
-Oh, my God, she wouldn't stop.

-And...
-[laughs]

The-the point is,

I'm a private person,

but, despite all of that,

I still wanted her to know me.

You know?

Yeah.

I...
[chuckles]

Yeah, I totally get that.

And, like, Jordi's the same way,

and... I-I want her
to know me, too.

But it's just-- it's scary.

You know?

Yeah. I know.

And the hardest part for me was

the moment
right before I told her

I loved her for the first time.

[chuckles softly]

And I knew I did.
I knew I wanted to tell her,

but I didn't know
if she would say it back.

Yeah.

-Did you?
-Of course I did.

Right away?

-Yes!
-No.

-Hey, I did, too.
-No-no, you didn't.

She took this long pause.

-No. No.
-Oh, no.

I had to breathe, so I inhaled.

There. The breath. Yes.

Yeah, but what if she
just doesn't love me back?

Well, then she's
really missing out.

[Quiara]
Yeah.

And unfortunately, there's
only one way to find out.

Fuck.

Look...

you're Angie
Porter-fucking-Kennard.

Don't you forget it.

So get your ass out of this car
and go speak your mind,

because we're
gonna be here either way.

Mm-hmm.

-Okay.
-All right?

-Go get 'em.
-Okay.

[Quiara]
Go. Yeah, you got it.

Ah. Okay.

[Quiara laughs]

-Wish me luck.
-You don't need luck.

-Of course.
-You don't need luck.

[sputters]
Okay.

Ooh, shit.

God.

[exhales]

Oh, God, I gave her the
right advice, right?

-Yeah, you did good.
-You sure?

-Yeah, you did great.
-All right,

that fuckin' Jordi kid
better say it back to her.

-Or what?
-Or what?

I'll call her mother,
is what.

[laughs]
Shit.

-[Shane] I'm not kidding.
-Okay.

-[Shane] She's gonna get a call.
-[laughs]

[door beeping]

-Hey.
-Hi.

How'd it go?

It went great.
I, uh, I-I passed.

And this is the first place

-I drove.
-Nice.

Did you forget something?

No. I didn't forget anything.

So what's up?

[Shane sighs]

What?

I love seeing you
like this.

-What, like this?
-Yeah.

[chuckles]

I know you're scared.

But this is what I want.

[Angie]
So,

um...

last night was intense.

Yeah, it was.

How's your mom?

She's okay.
I called Mama T,

and she's here,
so that helps.

-Nice.
-Yeah.

But, um...

it's so weird.

The whole time that it
was happening last night...

I realized that
all I wanted to do

was make sure
that you were okay.

And I know we've
been friends for a while now,

and I... and I love that,
a-and I don't want

to mess that up,
so if this goes badly,

just... forget, like,
this ever happened.

But I...

Hmm.

I like you.

I really like you.

I...
[exhales]

I-I, like, like like you,

and I think...

I think I love you.

And I...
I-I want

to know if you do, too.

[giggles]
Yeah.

-Yeah? [laughs]
-I do.

I like you, too.

I... I love you, too.

So...

So...

[Alice]
Oh, my God.

My window won't go down.
I need air.

-[Gigi] AC's on full blast.

-Okay.
-[Nat] I feel like...

I just need some air.

-[horn honking]
-If you honk,

they're gonna go slower!

She knows that-- she's doing it
on purpose to torture me.

Well, I don't think
that's true, Nat.

Okay, one question.

Last night,
when we all held hands...

what did that mean?

It meant that we
could hold hands in the dark.

-Okay.
-Okay, no, I'm not interested

in going back in the closet,

-thank you.
-Oh, my God.

Nobody's asking you
to do that.

Well, except that you are...

technically asking her to go
back in the closet... well, us.

It's a big, walk-in closet
with room for three adults.

-[horn honking]
-Fucking go!

-Oh, wow.
-I think it's absurd

to tell strangers when we
haven't told anyone else.

That's fine.
That is fine.

I just think we need to take,
you know, steps...

and-and talk about the...

-you know, this.
-What's going on here?

Why are you taking her side?

Nat.

All I said was
that we weren't friends.

She had no idea what that meant.

Mm. I'm pretty...

I'm pretty sure
she knew what that...

[sighs]

[reporters clamoring nearby]

-Bette!
-[all clamoring]

Good evening. Good evening.

Thank you so much
for being here.

All day,
people have called on me

to drop out of the race.

And I've thought about it.

I've spoken to my family.

I've spoken
to my closest friends

and trusted colleagues.

[sighs]
And I

have been reminded
of what's been at the center

of this campaign all along.

I don't want you to quit.

[Bette]
On June 8th

of last year,

my sister Katherine "Kit" Porter

died of a heroin overdose.

Nine months prior to her death,
she was in a car accident,

and the doctor on call
at the hospital prescribed her

a very powerful
opioid painkiller.

She became addicted

to that painkiller
because my sister

was an addict.

She never should've been
prescribed those drugs,

but nobody asked her.

No one at the hospital asked her

the one question
that might have saved her life.

No one asked her,
"Are you an addict?"

The intake system
at the hospital failed her.

Her doctor failed her.

The drug companies failed her.

And I cannot fail her, too.

I have learned so much
since my sister died.

I have learned
how strong my family is,

and just how lucky I am
to have them in my life.

And when I say family,
that includes my chosen family.

I have friends
who would do anything for me.

But not everyone
is as lucky as I am.

Not everyone has
a support system in place

to carry them through
particularly challenging times.

I love you.

I love you, too.

-What? I-I took a breath.
-Oh.

-I was inhaling.
-Oh, touché.

[both laugh]

[Bette]
And that's exactly why

I initially decided to run.

I want to be there for people
who are less fortunate.

I want this city to be
a supportive community

for all of us.

I've never spoken
about this publicly.

I've never wanted to do anything

that might exploit
my family's pain,

but this is bigger than me.

This is bigger than my family.

And I know now all too well

that we were not alone
in that pain.

My sister's death was the result
of a deeply broken system,

one that I was devastated
to experience firsthand

and one that
I remain determined to change.

And because of that,
I cannot drop out.

I will stay in the race,

and I will fight for my family,

for all families,

and I hope that you will
continue to fight alongside me.

Thank you.
