Season 4 - "The L Word" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Marina

Marina, who hadn't been seen since the end of season one, returned for a visit. Karina Lombard appeared in this episode and episode nine, "Lacy Lilting Lyrics". Joyce Wischnia, played by Jane Lynch, did appear in season four, but not until later. There was no appearance from Jenny's ex Tim this season, and none from Burr Connor, played by Tony Goldwyn.

Answer: True

Bette started her new job as the Dean of Art in "Livin' La Vida Loca", and Phyllis was her boss. Chancellor Kroll had the unpropitious nickname of Heads Will Roll Kroll. Phyllis spent season four coming to terms with being a lesbian and all that entailed. She fell in love with Alice, who broke her heart- temporarily.

Answer: Brooke

Max went out with Brooke several times before finally admitting to her that he was in transition from female to male. Brooke's reaction was anger and disgust. Max met another woman later in the season who excepted him for himself. Chelsea Hobbs played Brooke.

Answer: Stacey Merkin

Jenny and Stacey had a very good interview. It was easy and friendly, and Jenny thought it had gone very well. Jenny had become increasingly arrogant and irritating with each passing season of the show, so imagine her surprise when she read the interview on the magazine's website! Stacey had shredded both Jenny herself and "Sum of Her Parts".

This review sent Jenny on a tumble into her darker psyche. She went hell bent on revenge, but her actions hurt someone else worse than Stacey. Heather Matarazzo played Stacey.

Answer: Eva

I am not sure if we heard Papi's real name before the season four finale, but it is possible. I remember hearing it for the first time in the finale, when Tasha invited Alice to her going back to Iraq party. It was hosted by Papi, whose invite had her real name on it, Eva Torres. Papi seemed very concerned about Shane at first, but relaxed when she realized that the "Chart" was the last thing Shane cared about. Papi felt competitive with Shane by nature, but Shane was so non-confrontation, Papi quickly got over herself. Papi slept with several regular cast members in season four.

The gorgeous actress Janina Gavankar played Eva "Papi" Torres. She and Rose Rollins (Tasha) filled in the vacant spots left behind by Erin Daniels (Dana) and Sarah Shahi (Carmen).

Answer: She fell in love with a deaf person

Bette was the one who fell in love with a deaf woman. Kit broke up with Angus after she found out (from Tina) that he had an affair with Angelica's female nanny. Tina and Henry caught an intimate moment between Angus and Hazel. Tina fired Hazel and told Bette. Bette confronted Angus, but did not tell Kit.

Answer: Shane's brother

Shane acquired Shay when Shay's mother Carla disappeared. She arrived at Shane's house and left Shay behind. Shane really stepped up to the plate in caring for Shay. She even took a job as an underwear model for money, after Shay broke his arm. Their father returned and took Shay away, which crushed Shane. Shay brought Shane and Paige together first, when he befriended Paige's son.
Paige was played by Kristanna Loken, and fans may remember her as the T-X in "Terminator 3".

Answer: sculpture

Marlee Matlin played Bette's deaf lover Jodi. As usual in Bette's love life, her relationship with Jodi was full of challenges. Direct communication was not one of them, though, as Bette learned sign language quickly and Jodi could read lips and say many words. Once again it was Bette's control freak personality that ruined things. Jodi left to take a job in New York, and Tina helped Bette win Jodi back. Between Tina's advice, Tina's email, and sculpture theft, Bette went to New York to win back her lover. Shane and Alice helped Bette disassemble an iron sculpture that read "17 Reasons Why". Jodi loved that sculpture, and the property manager refused to sell it, so Bette stole it.

Answer: True

Tina became bored in her relationship with Henry. Then she admitted to Kate Arden she wanted Bette back, but felt guilty for all she'd put Bette through the previous year. That was Tina's reason for helping Bette get Jodi back. Kate was the woman hired to direct Jenny's movie based on her story "Lez Girls". Annabella Sciora played Kate. Kate and the production team behind the film hated Jenny, deservedly so, and arranged to have her fired off the film. Tina never dated a woman in season four, but had abandoned her hetero lifestyle. Tina told Joyce Wischnia and Phyllis Kroll that Tina was back in the fold in the season finale. Joyce was called in by Phyllis to help her divorce Edgar.

Answer: Bette and Tina reunited

Season four ended with Bette and Jodi's reunion. Jenny floated away from Tasha's beach party in a boat, Dana did appear to Alice to encourage Alice to go to Tasha's party, and Shane did ask Paige and her son Jared to live with her in the new home she wanted to buy.
In case fans are wondering, I consciously avoided discussing Helena's disgusting relationship with Catherine. I know it's part of Helena's natural learning curve to go through a gross relationship like this, but I hated watching it.
Sandrine Holt played Catherine Rothberg. She also played reporter Terri Morales in the movie "Resident Evil Apocalypse".
