Litmus Test

Episode 5 of season 6 of the L word is a real treat for Alex's fans. Dylan and Helena get lots of screentime for a change. In this episode, Dylan is put to the test to see if she is a gold digger and would do anything to advance her career or is she truly in love with Helena. This is all Alice's idea of course but with the help of the gang, they put their plan into action. Helena reluctantly agrees to this as she is curious to find out how it will play out.

Jenny rings up Dylan pretending to be Nikki's manager. She tells Dylan that Nikki wants her to direct her next movie. Dylan is gobsmacked but decided to take up the offer. Shane asks Nikki to help out. Her job is to hit on Dylan. That will be the test.

Dylan and Nikki meet at the HIT Club as arranged by Jenny. They talk about movies and film making. Nikki closes in by sitting next to Dylan. She tells her she likes to get close to her director and if she wants to direct her movie, she, Dylan would have to go home with her tonight. Dylan declines much to the delight of the gang watching the scenario on the large monitors.

Helena immediately approaches Dylan to tell her that Tina had told her about their conversation in the planet. Dylan says it is all true and she is madly in love with Helena but she understands if Helena doesn't want to see her. Helena DOES want to see her so off they went to Dylan's place.

Helena is not in the mood for cup of tea or listening to stories on rubber trees so they make out.
