Final episode in the first season of the showtime series 'The L Word'. Beals' and Overman's relationship gets more complicated, while Daniel's delivers some big news to her friends.

Actresses:
Mia Kirshner & Anne Ramsay


Kirshner and Ramsay are in bed the 'morning after'. Both seem to be naked, at least from the top up, and are lying together talking. Things progress to the two touching and kissing, and eventually, though we only see their facial expressions during the act, they move their hands down each others body and have sex.

Actresses:
Jennifer Beals & Ion Overman


I only caught the last half of this scene (sorry), where Beals and Overman begin to kiss against the wall in a bedroom. Beals moves down and begins to kiss Overman's abdomen, they then move from there to a bed where Overman begins to undress Beals. She begins to remove Beals' pants while kissing down her body, but the two decide to stop. The scene ends here.

Actresses:
Katherine Moennig & Rosanna Arquette


A brief scene where Moennig tries to explain a sticky situation to an irate Arquette. It ends with a very emotional embrace where Moennig's feelings for Arquette are very evident.

Actresses:
Jennifer Beals & Ion Overman


Beals and Overman are in Beals' office. The atmosphere is immediately charged. While Beals is leaning against a wall Overman goes to her and holds her from behind. Beals turns and the two begin to kiss. Almost immediately she puts Overman's hand down her pants, where its obvious what's going on by Beals' reaction.

Actresses:
Jennifer Beals & Laurel Holloman


This scene begins with Holloman confronting Beals about what she recently figured out (the affair). Beals tries to embrace Holloman and gets slapped in return. Beals eventually gets Holloman onto the bed, where she tries to hold her down, rip off her shirt, and from what it looks like, forcefully have sex with Holloman against her will. Holloman gets the upper hand eventually and the scene (thankfully) turns consentual. On top, Holloman leans down and kisses (and bites?) Beals, eventually pushing Beals' hand under Holloman's dress she is wearing. Afterwards the two lay together crying, before the scene quickly cuts out. This scene was the most emotionally-charged in the season, I felt.

Actresses:
Leisha Hailey & Erin Daniels


By far my favorite scene in this episode! Daniels answers the door to find Hailey on the other side. When asked what she's doing there, Hailey tells Daniels that she can not marry her girlfiend turned fiancee. When Daniels asks why, Hailey leans in and kisses her. The kiss is brief but sweet. After a moment Daniels leans in and initiates another kiss, this one longer and well... hotter. The kiss ends and Hailey runs off.

Definitely an excellent ending to the season, though a bit too much of a cliffhanger for me. Definitely left me wanting more, which is, I guess, what The Powers That Be want. Like the first two episodes of the season, this one had a lot of sex scenes compared to the rest of the season.

This is the season finale of the up and coming series The L Word. In this episode we see the growth of many of our characters as well as a few unexpected surprises along the way.

Actresses:
Mia Kirshner & Anne Ramsay


This is one of the early scenes which opens with Kirshner and Ramsey lying in bed discussing life in general, no real intimacy, and very brief nudity.

Actresses:
Jennifer Beals & Ion Overman


This is an interesting scene, you don't know whether to enjoy it for it's guilty pleasure attribute, or hate it because of the fragile relationship it seems to corrupt. Overman takes Beals to a hotel room, and the two engage in a very brief, yet explorative sex scene, little nudity, but well done.

Actresses:
Jennifer Beals & Ion Overman


Beals and Overman again, this time everything is strictly on top of the clothes, but it gets the point across none the less.

Actresses:
Jennifer Beals & Laurel Holloman


There is also a very deep shower scene with Beals and Holloman, but there is no nudity and it is strictly platonic.

Actresses:
Jennifer Beals & Laurel Holloman


Holloman discovers that Beals has been cheating on her and doesn't take it lightly, after a brief cat fight, the two end up in a very quirky sex scene that at first seems to resolve something, but we later discover that Holloman has moved out for awhile.

Actresses:
Leisha Hailey & Erin Daniels


As a surprise at the end, we discover that Haley is in love with Daniels...very unexpected, but a pleasant surprise following the death of Daniels cat.

This episode was extremely well done, it was both powerful and passionate without being too explicit. This series ended with more than a few cliff hangers which is more than enough to stir up a large following for it's next season.
