“I can show you that you’re never going to need a man again. You know Papi can rock your world, right?” — Eva “Papi” TorresIn season four, the arrival of Papi (Janina Gavankar), Tasha (Rose Rollins), Phyllis (Cybill Shepherd) and Jodi (Marlee Matlin) rocks the insular world of The L Word for the better, shaking up and diversifying les girls. Our bougie bitches play hoops and Helena plays poker. Alice gets played by Papi then makes a play for Tasha. Shane plays house with Shay and Paige, and Angus plays with Kit’s emotions. Bette can’t play it cool when it comes to Jodi, while Tina gets bored of playing it straight. And Jenny, channeling Cruella de Ville, plays head games with an adorable veterinarian. It’s all fun and games until someone euthanizes a rescue dog. Seriously, Jenny: WTF?!Episode notes and extras:“You’re looking very Shane today.”Consider the Merkin: A Brief History of Pubic Wigs in HollywoodThe making of The L Word basketball sceneThe Instagram dogs of Xtra: Chelle’s Ellie and Erica’s BelleThe history of Don’t Ask, Don’t TellScarlett Johansson: “I should be able to play any person, tree or animal.”Featuring: Rachel Giese @rachelagieseErica Lenti @ericalentiEternity Martis @eternitymartisMichelle Turingan @chelleturinganProducer and editor: Corey Misquita @coreymisquitaSenior producer: Rachel Matlow @rachelmatlowExecutive producer: Rachel GieseMusic: KidKulit
