The L Word

'The L Word' follows the lives and loves of a group of lesbian friends living in Los Angeles. The main character, Jenny, is a recent graduate of the University of Chicago, who moves to Los Angeles to live with her boyfriend Tim and begin a professional writing career. Jenny's life is turned upside down when she attends a party hosted by Tim's next-door neighbors, Bette and Tina, a lesbian couple who are about to take the step into parenthood after being together for seven years. A brief encounter at the party with Marina, the owner of the local coffeehouse, suddenly has Jenny thrust into a whole new world that makes her question her own sexual orientation. Other friends of Bette and Tina include Dana, a professional tennis player who is shy but eager to meet the right woman; Alice, a magazine writer who has a brief relationship with a self-identified "lesbian" man; and Shane, a hairstylist who can't stick to just one woman, and Kit, Bette's half sister who struggles with alcoholism.

Bette deals with the consequences after controversial artwork by the deaf and liberal Jodi Lerner upsets a potential university donor. Bette also tells her T.A., Nadia, to call it quits because their affair could jeopardize both of their careers. Meanwhile, Papi challenges Alice and the rest of the girls to a grudge basketball game. On the court, Alice, Jenny, the overweight and out-of-shape Kit, and the others reject Tina, who ends up playing for Papi's team. Bette also fears for the worst after learning that her boss, Phyllis, and Alice are secretly dating. Elsewhere, Max reveals his gender secret to Brooke, who predictably responds negatively. After Jenny's book fails from the single bad review, she embarks on a twisted quest to get back at the journalist that panned her by targeting her girlfriend, Lindsey, who works in a veterinary hospital and using her sociopath skills of manipulation to play on her sympathies. Angus has a run-in with baby Angelia's new au par French nanny, Hazel. Shane has a meeting of minds with Paige Sobel, the mother of one of Shay's classmate's. Soon, Shane is out of $5,000 after Shay breaks his arm. With no medical insurance, Shane swallows her pride and self-esteem by modeling for a men's underwear design.
