"Previously on The Real L Word..." "So I was talking to my ex, and we're gonna see if we can make it work and not see other people." "I'm super conflicted about moving back to New York," "Before I moved to L.A., I had a girlfriend that I loved and I still love." "I would hope, like, if you're gonna move back that you would give me, like, advance notice, so I could, like, find another roommate and stuff." "Woof." "I think that people think bisexuals are slutty." "It's not like that, it's a confusing place to be." "I always considered myself, a lesbian." "But now, I guess that I have to say that I would be, bisexual." "Kelsey, I love Jay." "We're not supposed to be together..." "And I'm the one who ended it, you know what I mean?" "It's hard being with somebody who's bisexual." "I mean, if the girl wants dick, that's not something I can give her." "Do you guys want to try again or what?" "Is that a weird question?" " We're going to." " We want to still be parents." "We are parents, but we're going to try again." "Seeing how long it took last time, like, it's just..." "We fight all the time, we are not compatible." "You know, she's used to us fighting and then getting back together and making up, and I know in my heart that it's not gonna happen this time and that it's over for good." "This is not fucking good for me." "I cannot deny what I'm feeling, and I can't deny my chemistry with Lauren." "[Laughter]" "I'm not." "It's already done." "I think this might be a little more than just Dinah fun." "I feel like there's something there." "I can just tell that you're a dick." "I don't know, she seems a little sketchy, and apparently I've already had an argument with her." "I mean, no, I'm not sold on her." "I'm not going to cave in to you being a dick." "What is that?" "I'm engaged." "You're not even excited." "It's not necessarily what you envision in your head your parents' reaction being."

"Sara and I are headed back east to see my mom and my grandma." "I'm not gonna lie, when I told my mom initially that we were engaged, her reaction was a little lackluster." "I know my mom supports us being together and getting married, but I think it will take me actually being in front of her to really get that, you know, excitement and support really kicked in." "But I've actually never had a conversation with my grandmother about my sexuality." "And now not only do I need to bring it up to her, but, surprise, I'm also getting married, and it's to a woman, and she's right there." "I'm a little nervous about this grandma talk." "Okay." "All right." "What do I do?" "It's either you pay." " How much do I..." " $90." " $90?" "Babe." " What?" "We got to take five pounds out." "I'll tell you what weighs all that is the freaking makeup." "It needs to go in there." "It's, like, toiletries and all that stuff is in there." "It's not makeup." "It's toiletries." "Toiletries." "Take that vest out and wear it." " Put this on?" " Put it on, just do it." "Take the shoes out." "Baby, I'll tell you right now." "Can you just take the shoes out?" "'Cause they' re easy to take out." "I don't think that these shoes weigh..." "Just take them out." "I hate the way you're talking to me right now." "Can you do something with them or do you want me to just wear them all?" "I'll carry them." "Sharing the news with our families about, you know, us getting married has been really stressful, and it's kind of taking a toll on our harmony." "[Chuckles]" "You look super stylin'." " You too." " From earlier in the morning." "Thank you." "Bye." "Which way do we go?" "Okay." "Great." "Thanks."

"I think that it is a little too soon to say that Lauren and I are gonna be serious." "I just got out of this relationship with Ali, and I feel like I need to be a little more cautious and not rush into things." "I don't know." "I feel like..." "I feel like I have to, like, have some "me time" too." "Maybe it'll be better 'cause it's not, like, typical lesbian shit where you hang out every fucking day." "But, at the same time, it's nice to like someone." "I haven't liked anyone in a really long time." " You know?" " Yeah." "So, at Dinah Shore she told me something." " What?" " She said something along the lines of "I can see myself just being with her."" "She must have been loaded." "I'm joking." "It seems like she really digs you." "And it's, like, crazy to talk about it right now, you know." "We only just met." "Yeah, but you're, like, talking about it constantly to the point where I want to, like, gouge my eyes out with a fork." "I've never seen you this way, ever." " [Chuckles]" " So it freaks me out." "But, at the end of the day, all I want is, like, for you to be happy." "But if she does anything and dicks you over, like, yeah, I'll hire a hit man." "What do you think is gonna happen?" "Wouldn't that be so funny if you were like," ""by the way, I'm moving to New York now."" "Don't even talk." "That is not okay." "Psycho.

"Now that my mom's retired, she is so much more of, like, a carefree, free-spirited person." "She enjoys golf." "She enjoys lunch with her daughters." "She drives from Riverside all the way out to Los Angeles to see us, and I cherish every moment that I get with my mom." "She's always a source of great comfort for me." "How's Cori doing?" "She's doing okay." " Is she?" "Back to work?" " Mm-hmm." "I don't know." "Sometimes I think she's doing better than I am." "Why?" "Why is that?" "I think everybody expects to be really gentle with her, and they think I'm fine." "And they think you're the tough one." "[Laughs]" " Well, that's so crappy." " It is pretty crappy." "But, you know what, you have to tell people," ""hey, I'm hurting."" "I think a lot of people have this expectation that I'm supposed to forget her." "No." "Or that I'm supposed to be over it by now." "I told you what... that someone at work told me." ""I'm sure you're over it by now, but I'm so sorry."" "Thanks, thanks for that." "How many times you went..." "you did this, four times?" "Yeah, but I never had to do what Cori did." "I never had to deliver the baby." "That's... that's hard." "I mean, my heart was breaking for both of you that night." "My parents had a really difficult time getting pregnant with my sister." "It took them ten years and, like, four miscarriages, but they managed to get pregnant with my sister." "My mom went through such burdens trying to get pregnant, and now I'm going through those same things." "The thing I think is great is you guys have really come through this together as a team." "Some people, they don't get over things like this." "They walk away from each other." "I can't even imagine that." "They do it, though." "So, you know, what are you guys gonna do?" "Are you gonna..." "Well, that's kind of the reason why I wanted to bring you to lunch." "So, we are clear to start, so..." "Oh, you're clear already from the doctor?" "So very soon." "Oh, that's so good." "It did feel like, when we lost Charlie, we got knocked all the way back down the ladder, because it was so hard to get pregnant the first time." "But there's so much more on our side, and it means so much more now because of what we lost." "And as long as Cori's okay and we're okay, then we're ready to try again." "Before we really wanted it, but now we really want it." "You know what, you got your whole future in front of you." "And there's gonna be another baby, and there's gonna be another love." "And you got a little angel up in heaven watching over you two." "Ok, not what you planned, but, you know, God... you don't get to plan this stuff," "God has his... he's got the plan." "That's true."

"She had a huge part in raising me as a child." "Growing up, things were tough, family split up, and finances didn't really allow us to have our own place." "So, my mom and I moved in with my grandmother." "She was like this safe place to go." "It's like, when everything else was hectic and changing, like, I knew I could go to my grandma's house and that cookie jar would always be there type thing." "Take a picture with my grandma." " Here, like, take one like this." " What?" " Oh, my God, that's so cute." " [Laughs]" "I love my grandmother so much." "She's, like, my number one lady in this world, and my sexuality wasn't necessarily part of our relationship, so why should we talk about it?" "But now it's not just about my sexuality." "It's about my future and my life." "And this is definitely something that needs to be talked about." "It's the first time where I've felt nervous about actually confronting someone in fear that, even though I think that she'll be accepting, in fear that she won't." " Hi, how are you?" " Baby girl."
