This week's Litmus Test brings the ensemble cast together as they craft a nefarious plan to test Dylan's (Alex Hedison) devotion to Rachel Shelley's Helena.

As I nurse my third major hangover of the season, I've been thinking about what I, as a lesbian, could not possibly live without, and in the spirit of the holidays compiled Top 10 Things Every Lesbian Should Be Thankful For.

Included are Sarah Waters, South of Nowhere, beer, high heels and Facebook.
