Lots of things to love about the L word. This episode wasn't one of them. In what world would Bette Porter fall for such a needy character like Nadia? The forbidden-type of relationship between faculty and student is absolutely suited for her character, but please make it a forbidden-type of relationship then! This is too easy, cheap almost, as their conversations build no tention whatsoever due to Nadia's bluntness and Bette's response to it, which is incredibly unbelievable and completely out of character.

Speaking of which: why would Helena Peabody ever wear hair extensions and baggy jeans? Such a nonsense set-up for her character as well, not doing her justice at all.
