Generation Q – 3.10 Looking Ahead
If this season was all episodes featuring a big event, this sure is a fitting finale. This week, on the final episode of the season, Bette and Tina wed, and finally stroll off together, hand in hand, into the sunset and (presumably) their long-awaited happily ever after. So much of what happens at the wedding is delightful: Bette and Tina get locked in the walk-in fridge, Alice is responsible for booze and calling Tasha (to save the brides, of course), Sophie and Pippa share a beautiful flirtatious afternoon. G Flip and Chrishell arrive, and Roxy is back to play and Dani is on drugs! So it's also a big bummer that Tess, Micah and Maribel specifically end the season in truly dour places. From the low of a relapse storyline to the highs of every single second Tasha was onscreen, this feels a fitting send-off to the season we loved to discuss so much. We love you, we'll miss you, we hope you enjoyed the ride! Follow us on Instagram and Twitter at @tolandback Follow Riese everywhere at @autowin and her esteemed website @autostraddle.

Generation Q – 3.09 Quiet Before the Storm
A strong breeze has blown into Los Angeles this week and with it, the return of Bette and Tina! Angie's moms are back to get her out of bed and performing at her creative writing class reading and discover the relationship that has her sulking unshowered in bed. Shane and Tess are fighting over the second bar, but in a new and more final way. Finley is helping Carrie recover from her (obnoxious, to us) heart attack. And of course, Alice's movie meltdown has gotten her cancelled again, with one of our season-long prayers answered (no spoilers) as a result!!

Generation Q – 3.08 Quality Family Time
In case you're family drama-ed out after all of the winter holidays that just passed, The L Word Gen Q is here to provide a fresh supply! It's Thanksgiving at Dana's, and Finley's mom has arrived! Sadly, she did not bring a green bean casserole, just a bad attitude. All roads lead to Dana's in this episode, as it becomes the go-to location for Dani and Dre, who are spending the holiday together, Carrie and Misty, who are turkey trotting, and the entire Suarez family who are still mashing potatoes upon arrival.

Generation Q – 3.07 Little Boxes
In a world where there is a major social event every single weekend, it is now time for an album release party! Fletcher's album release party, to be exact, which Dani is throwing, Micah and Maribel are cruising (for sperm donors), and Sophie wreaks sapphic chaos upon! And if that's not enticing enough, there's also skinny dipping! Elsewhere, we're delighted by a Carrie-Finley messaround, and Alice attempts to revisit a different ex this week: Tom! Delightful side plots ensue. Follow us on Instagram and Twitter at @tolandback Follow Riese everywhere at @autowin and her esteemed website @autostraddle.
