Well, this is it. The finale. Mmmm, child, you know this is gonna be crazy. Sure you kinda, sorta already know exactly how crazy (yes, I realize that’s sorta, kinda my fault). Still, some things just have to be seen to be believed. To keep things interesting, and in honor of the final Pre-L of the year, I’ve made a little scavenger hunt for the finale. Can you find: Eva Torres, Helena’s “Puppy,” and the afterlife’s drink of choice? Find all three, win - well, does pride count as a prize? Enjoy the show and come back this week for my Season 4 wrap-up. The season is over, but the drama never ends.
1) Ilene Chaiken: Not so much with the subtle.2) Jenny needs Scriptwriting for Dummies, but wants a dog. Oy.3) It’s Tasha’s party and Alice will be a crybaby if she wants to.4) Tina, basically, nails Bette. No, no -- not that way. This way.5) Jared, not so hot on mom being a lez. Shane, just hot.6) Kate tells Tina her body is a seller’s market. So, uh, buy now.7) Phyllis, meet The Reamer. Bet that’ll come in handy later.8) How do you accessorize crazy? With a tiny dog, of course.9) Max has second thoughts. Up close, we can almost see them.10) Meet Alice, Bette and Shane: Master Thieves.11) Papi gets the “working on myself” speech. That old chestnut.12) The return of the Vagina Wig.13) Paige and Shane love a little afternoon delight.14) Wait, did I switch over to TV Land by accident?15) Death becomes her. Le sigh.16) Helena shows herself the money.17) Tina and Bette mix their messages. Good luck in season 5.18) Jenny is adrift. Show me your metaphors, I’ll show you mine.19) Bette and Jodi gets their Old McDonald on. Nice wheels.20) Alice better tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree for her.New Guestbian Count: O

Very enjoyable anti-climax and not just because you spoiled us but because as you say IC ain't about the subtle.
Eva Torres and Helena's "puppy" are both Papi - and ghosts drink Pepsi. Apparently.
Great work at keeping the season interest up, Dorothy S. But I think Alice's brilliant schtick up on the factory roof when her jacket got hung up could easily have been her reaction at getting handed the same ol' same ol from the writing - how bloody is it that the one good out dyke actor got so little development in the whole 4 seasons.
"Oh god!
I'm stuck!
Go without me!
Leave me behind!
Save yourselves!"
cheers, pet.
