Third episode in the Showtime series. In this episode Jenny (Mia Kirshner) struggles with her feelings for Marina (Karina Lombard) while Shane (Katherine Moennig) deals with a woman scorned (played by Tammy Lynn Michaels).

This scene appears at the opening of the episode. There are two women - an artist and a model. Not much to tell from this scene, only that the model is nude and it ends with the artist (a redhead I believe) walking up to her, where they proceed to kiss. The scene then cuts out.

Actresses:
Katherine Moennig & Tammy Lynn Michaels


The scene opens with Moennig confronting Michaels while she hands out flyers depicting Moennig in a negative way. The two talk, Moennig tells Michaels 'I like a lot of people' and that she doesn't do relationships. Michaels begins to cry, which upsets Moennig. They hug, and eventually start to kiss. They kiss and make quite a few 'I'm really enjoying this' noises until the scene cuts out.

Actresses:
Mia Kirshner & Karina Lombard


Kirshner confronts Lombard in the office of 'The Planet', a frequent hangout spot of the characters in this show, which Lombard seems to own. Kirshner thinks that Lombard told someone about their affair, and is very upset over this. She tells Lombard that she can't see her, and generally implies its too hard to be around her. She does this while taking off her shirt. They both seem to realize how odd the situation is and smile. Lombard then gets up from her desk and moves toward Kirshner. The two kiss very passionately (its very obvious they have an intense attraction to each other). Lombard then pulls Kirshner's bra down and kisses down her chest. They end up with Kirshner against a wall while Lombard goes down on her. At the end of the scene, Kirshner has a look of intense pleasure on her face.

Excellent episode, this is such a great series. I was happy to see more of the relationship between Kirshner and Lombard explored, and though there wasn't any scenes to mention on it - the budding relationship between Erin Daniels' character and Lara (Lauren Lee Smith).
