A Different Take on S3
A Different Take on S3: Tina did see Henry
"Tina stared blankly at the door to Bette’s hotel room. What she wanted to say was the 3 of them, Bette, Angelica, and Tina, could go on vacations together.
Tina hoped for so much more."
After staring at Bette’s hotel room door for more than a few minutes, Tina went to her room. Henry would be there later on. She picked up Angelica’s toys and replayed Bette’s words in her head. “I think you have lost your fucking mind!”
“Maybe I have.” Tina looked at the crib and Angelica’s things. She slowly sat on the bed and let out a tearful sigh. She was not sure what had been the strongest attraction to Henry. She did think he was sweet and not too bad to look at. Did she really want a relationship with him, or was she trying to make Bette suffer for what she had done in the past? Making others suffer was not Tina’s style, and she did feel slightly guilty about the way things had gone after she moved back home.
“What the fuck, Tina!” She scolded herself and ran both hands through her hair. She decided she needed to talk to Bette instead of walking away as they had done in the past year. “Ok.”
Tina stormed out of her room and slammed the door shut. She meant business, and if Bette was not going to talk to her she was at least going to listen to what she had to say. She was not quite sure what that was, but knew that she needed to follow her heart this time.
She knocked loudly on Bette’s door at first and then thought better of it and continued quietly for Geli’s sake.
“Bette, it’s me.” Tina spoke to the peephole in the door and then rested her forehead on the cold metal that formed the room number. “Please.” It had been a long time since she had spoke in that tone to Bette, and hoped she picked it up. Maybe not though. It’s been so long since we were that emotionally attuned with each other. “Bette,” Tina said slightly louder as she heard noise coming from behind the door.

Anyone with half a brain could tell Tina was feeling more than just friendship feelings when she and Bette hugged in the season finale. Now why is it Tina has to be the stereotypical blond and be a total flake? Granted if this had happened they’d still have to work through the sole custody issue but we’ll pretend for the time being that that part didn’t happen. ;)
Thank you! Watching these two women not talk to each other is the most frustrating thing!!
if only it ended like that… it may have made season 3 a little easier to watch… i hope you continue… and if you do… please don’t let tina go back to her room with henry… or at least let her tell him to get another room… they are through… over, done… ok … i guess i am also done
Much better. Is there more, cause I really hope so! Like the direction you took; plausible and pleasing, righting wrongs as you go. Thanks!
I agree w/Seahurst’s comment. During S3, I often found myself shouting at the TV telling them to talk to each other. They would flip harsh remarks at one another and then it cut to a new scene. No closure with ideas or convos. Very frustrating for the viewer. Who acts like that in real life?
i hope angie won’t interrupt their talk and little reconnection…post soon and say goodbye to henry
Seeing them in S3 was a blow to the stomach every time. This is better thanks
“baby, don’t cry” *melts*
This sounds really interesting – keep writing!
Lamentamini, I, on the other hand, thought it was a done deal when Tina gave Bette that hug in the hotel hallway. I saw regret and remembrance (of S2-ep 9) on Bette’s part (and the lingering hope for a replay. On Tina’s face I saw nothing but resolve. She has moved on. She told Henry doesn’t want Bette to be on the floor for the next two years, and I think that scene was a display of those feelings. Tough, but…anyway, thanks Jspen for spinning it another way. Wistfully and wishfully yours, TG.
that was too short….I am in total agreement with Lamentamini on this one. I can’t wait for your next chapter.
I agree with Lamentamini (we seem to be agreeing a lot lately) about the hug and the connection that will always be there for them. It upsets me that so many people hate Tina so much. Am I happy at the way she treated Bette, hell no. But and I know it is a big But, the real Tina would never had done this to Bette. The writers for some reason took it upon themselves to turn her into some evil villian. Instead of showing the battle that goes on in some people’s head, they just had her jump into bed with any one that had three legs. Maybe I am dreaming but Tina maybe coming to her senses and she is going to have to work doubly hard to show Bette that she can be trusted agin. Will the real L WORD please Stand Up.
Good chapter. Bette and Tina need to get back together!
Season 3 will always be one of the worst seasons to watch..even though bette and tina not getting back together was hard but Dana dying took the cake and I cant still get myself to watch it
