Judith Lansing is a lesbian, and also a successful corporate spy selling top secrets to the highest bidder. That is until she get a blackmail note from someone threatening to expose her.
Judith Lansing had become quite rich, stealing, and selling corporate secrets. She also has an eye for the ladies, especially Young Ladies. But she has the good sense to keep business and pleasure separate to keep her life uncomplicated.
She has been in the business for a number of years and occasionally has hit a snag or two, even a brush with the law. But she is comfortable in the fact she has been feeding off Breezeflow, the cybernetics company for several years and thinks she will never be found out.
But of course she thought wrong. She gets a blackmail letter from an anonymous person threatening to expose her unless she gives into their demands of $500,000. The rendezvous time and place is set for an old cemetery late at night. Though not expecting any real trouble she packs up the cash and takes along her unregistered Glock.
Judith even arrives early for the exchange to scope out any traps or tricks the blackmailer may have set up. She is pretty confident if the deal goes south, she will be able to handle the situation. Again she thought wrong!
The identity of the blackmailer is a shock, but even more of a shock is the blackmailer’s accomplice. With her mind in a spin the situation looks pretty grim, and Judith realizes it’s going to be kill or be killed before this caper is finished.
Two co-workers, Leigh, and Andrea, meet at work. Leigh is awestruck by Andrea, who seems to barely notice her. Then surprisingly, Andrea approaches Leigh leaving no doubt about her intensions and soon the two are dating.
Andrea and Leigh work in the mailroom of some large company’s office building. Leigh has fallen head over heels for Andrea, and eventually Andrea finds her attention flattering and eventually Andrea succumbs to the unrelenting Leigh.
The two begin dating and in short order the two end up in Leigh’s bed and what follows is an intense evening of passion and desire. There is the bloom of love stirring in Leigh and the if not love, there is at least lust stirring in Andrea.
Following the fireworks of the two ‘lovers’ first night together, the relationship begins to plateau and soon, Leigh is hardly acknowledged by Andrea at work. Though occasionally Andrea will call Leigh for a late night bootie call, the closeness of their first night is missing. Leigh refuses to accept the reality of the situation and endures her lover’s indifference.
All hope of maintaining the relationship Leigh thought they both had, comes crumbling around her when Leigh speaks to Andrea while passing each other at work, and Andrea ignores her, in front of several employees that know their story. Leigh realizes something has got to give, but she refuses to accept the obvious until it’s too late.
‘Wynonna Earp’s Emily Andras on Wayhaught’s Wedding, Legacy and Future
*This post contains spoilers from the season four finale of Wynonna Earp.
After four groundbreaking seasons, Wynonna Earp came to an epic, laugh-out-loud, tear-inducing end last night, and it was everything we could’ve wanted from a finale (other than more Wynonna, but we’ll get back to that later).
While the crew and fans are still fighting to get the show picked up by another network, after four wild seasons, Wynonna Earp has aired its series finale on SYFY Friday. The episode had a WayHaught wedding, one last curse to deal with, confessions of love, family, and happy endings for Waverly, Wynonna, Nicole, Doc, Jeremy, and the whole family.
“It feels heartbreaking to say goodbye, but like all things that are beautiful, sometimes they have to come to an end, and that’s what makes them special,” show creator Emily Andras tells Out. “I think that little bit of wistfulness, that little bit of a lemon in the cream just makes it that much sweeter, right? Happiness and joy are sometimes fleeting, and being able to say people got to experience that happiness and joy, and also hopefully gave it to a whole group of people, is once in a lifetime. And from a writer perspective, beyond my wildest dreams. So I just feel grateful, honestly. I’m grateful.”
Filming a finale can come with a lot of pressure to get everything right, but Andras said everything just seemed to line up — almost as if the lesbian and bisexual gods were smiling down on them. “It just happened to be the most sunny summer day. There were no clouds. You can hear the birds and smell the wildflowers,” she says of the day they filmed the wedding. “It was very magical, and everybody sort of felt the weight of it on our shoulders, but we also just had a lot of fun.”
When it came to writing vows for Waverly and Nicole, the words flowed out of her. “I will tell you a secret, and I do not say this to be arrogant: it was all so easy,” she says about writing the wedding. “I feel like this as an episode was not that hard to write, because I feel like I’ve been thinking about this day for these characters for a very long time. It didn’t seem too difficult to reach down into my soul, and hopefully their souls, and figure out what they would have said to one another.”
There was one special moment from the show that Andras couldn’t leave out of the vows: the infamous bulletproof vest that Nicole wore when she was shot in season one, bucking a decades-long tradition of showrunners killing off LGBTQ+ characters and letting fans know that this show was going to treat queer women differently.
While the episode with the bulletproof lesbian was written and filmed before Clexa and The 100bury your gays controversy completely bubbled to the surface, a scene where a bisexual woman and lesbian confess their love to each other and neither die resonated with fans who were bitter at the time from seeing so many queer women killed on television.
“God, 2016, it feels like a long time ago, right? And yet it’s so fresh for all of us,” she says, remembering a year when 62 lesbian and bisexual women TV characters were killed. “I feel like I was very cognizant of that going into writing Wynonna Earp, because I had been writing for the community for a long time with Lost Girl and what have you. So I kind of understood that we couldn’t just blow away another lesbian. I just wasn’t going to ever write that type of show.”
Instead, she wrote the type of show where queer women get to be happy, and none of their angst comes from homophobia. That made all of the roles so much more relatable.
“I feel like the show started as one little thing, which was this crazy group of people running around the woods in Alberta, doing this crazy demon-hunting cowgirl show,” she says. “We weren’t sure anyone was going to get it. And then I would say that the fandom, The Earpers, have even become their own community now that I feel like we’re lucky to be a part of. They kind of created their own brand of kindness, of humor, of inclusivity”
That brand of kindness, humor and inclusivity, of family, became the center of the show and the community that sprung up around it. The final scene of the show was a nod to that family.
“I love that the last word of the series, potentially, is home,” Andras says. “And then I cannot watch the scene with all the mailboxes, ending on the sign that says ‘Everybody Welcome,’ because that’s what the love letter to the fandom should be, right? At the end of the day, whoever you are, whatever your gateway drug is to the show, whether it’s WayHaught or Wynonna or Jeremy or Doc or tentacle goo, you are welcome in this community. And the fans have always made us feel so welcome, and they really refueled my belief that kindness and love and humor can unite us all.”
She hopes that viewers take that lesson of building a loving family to heart. And that they learn that they can have a happy ending even if things aren’t exactly how you imagined them. “I think I’d be lying if I said I didn’t cry at the very end (of the episode), when WayHaught is discussing how happy they are, just to be home with one another with their wife,” Andras says. “Any happiness and joy you can find is worth fighting for. Perfection is overrated. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to make you feel like living happily for the next day.”
Andras has never gotten as connected to a show as she has to Wynonna Earp. “I don’t know if I’ve ever had a show with characters who live so close to me all of the time. Sometimes I dream about them,” she says. “Even as time goes on, I find myself getting more excited about, like, what are Waverly and Nicole doing right now? Where are Wynonna and Doc? How’s Jeremy doing taking control of BBD, is he still dating that cute caterer? I think that the world is really rich, and if there’s ever another opportunity to revisit these characters, I think that would be really beautiful.”
She’s still holding out hope that someone picks them up for season five, but also loves the idea of “a movie or something, just revisiting them in five or ten years.” While she’s not ready to spoil any of the WayHaught dreams she’s had, she will tell us one thing. “Wherever they are,” she says, “I know they have one another.”

Virginal eighteen year old Cinnamon, embarks on a journey that begins along the paths of a Renaissance Faire. There she meets a beautiful giant woman in a gold robe, offering her an exquisite ornate box. Her asking price, Cinnamon would learn later was much higher than she would ever imagine.
Eighteen year old Cinnamon arrives home from a Renaissance Faire with a beautiful jewel box, that she purchased at quite a discount. Surprisingly all the vendor asked was for Cinnamon to go behind a tent curtain with her. The price seemed reasonable and although Cinnamon passed out behind the curtain forgetting everything that happened, the tall lady had her box ready for her when she woke up.
Cinnamon learns once she get it home the box was not what it seemed. Gone from inside as the lush black velvet lining, and in its place was a whirling mist that confused the young girl. While she is watching the insides of the box transfixed, the beautiful giant woman in the gold robe emerges from the whirling mist.
The tall woman, who told the young girl to call her Cherry, reveals that she is in fact the embodiment of the girls virginity. The actual box is merely an illusion. The woman, Cherry is there to help Cinnamon to find her virginity, knowing its importance to her.

Over time, the odyssey becomes a search for the Holy Grail rather than virtue.
Louise and Flora are forced to stay in an apartment while their home is fumigated, what Louis sees from the bedroom window across the courtyard there, convinces her something is not right between the older Asian woman and the young blonde staying with her.
Flora and Louise have been living together for some months. The two met in a lez bar and were drawn to each other quite quickly. Soon they moved in together. Unfortunately, their new apartment needed repairs so they were offered an apartment of a friend in Chinatown for a few nights.
They found out soon the air conditioning in the Chinatown apartment didn’t work and did what they could to alleviate the oppressive heat. As it turned out, Flora had to leave for the evening to give a lecture, leaving Louise in her panties looking out her bedroom window at the apartment across the courtyard.
What she sees, seems a riddle to her. There’s an older attractive Asian woman and a cute young blonde teen that appears on first sight to be held against her will. What Louise witnesses next really clouds the issue, as the young girl submits to some of the most lascivious treatment at the hands of the older woman.
The action aroused Louise and becomes transfixed on the woman and girl as they seem to perform a macabre repertoire of sexual wantonness. But Louise is jolted out of her erotic reverie by first, Flora coming home, and second by the Asian woman discovering that Louise has been watching the two.
Louise calls to Flora to look at the disgusting scene, but when Flora gets up to look, the apartment window across the court yard has its blinds pulled down. The action is soon forgotten by the two lusty roommates and they climb in bed for the night. Apparently the last of that puzzling situation.
Three female-spectrum people explain their feelings about the words bisexual and pansexual.
Labelling has always been a veritable minefield for the LGBTQ+ community, and no more so than today, when the gamut of terms to describe different sexualities and sexual identities is larger than ever. However, there is always mileage in returning to look at some of those original terms which gave birth to the rest of our ever-increasing rainbow. One key objection to the term “bisexual” (and, more recently, “pansexual”) is the fact that where “lesbian” and “gay” do not carry the suffix “sexual”, these words do. On the face of it this may not seem a big deal, but to a group frequently accused of sexual excess and inability to commit, it can seem a slap in the face.
The term “lesbian” refers, of course, to the Isle of Lesbos, where the poet Sappho penned heartfelt verses to her female lovers, arguably becoming the first “lesbian” writer in history. “Gay”, despite its eventual etymological relationship to promiscuity and sexual immorality, still brings to mind for most ideas of happiness and flamboyancy. But “bisexual” (and its newer cousin “pansexual”) perhaps carry a stark suggestion that sex is the primary motivating factor for those attracted to more than one gender. There is no love or lightheartedness inherent in the words “bisexual” or “pansexual” – they are, to some people’s minds, simply clinical terms which seem to imply that people who identify as these orientations are inspired primarily by sex when it comes to choosing a partner.
Aimee, 32, is a solicitor from London. “The term ‘lesbian’ is romantic,” she sighs. “It comes from a poet, it’s undeniably linked to love. ‘Gay’ originally meant happy. There’s poetry in both terms but ‘bisexual’? That just comes straight out of a medical dictionary as far as I’m concerned.” Aimee dislikes the word “bisexual” so much that she prefers to call herself “queer”, saying: “It’s a reclaimed slur, and I like the playfulness of it. It suggests eccentricity as well as sexual orientation. Problem is, it’s only really been properly reclaimed by certain sectors of the LGBT community. Everyone assumes I’m a lesbian if I use it and then I’m back to square one.”
Jennifer, 25, is a merchandise buyer from Michigan. “I don’t mind using the words ‘pansexual’ or ‘bisexual’,” she says. “But I admit it would be nicer if we had less, well, stark terminology to describe what we are. However, people recognize the existing terms. Unfortunately to try and change them now would probably damage our visibility.” Jennifer is particularly concerned about the “fight” between those who identify as “pansexual” and those who identify as “bisexual”. “There’s a big debate in our community between the many who consider both terms to mean the same – as in an attraction to more than one gender – and those who reject this theory. It’s such a waste of time and airspace and it just makes us look even shallower to those outside the debate. We’re useless divided.”
“I’d like to come up with a really cute term for us,” laughs Mikki, a non-binary art student from Quebec. “Maybe ‘butterflies’ or something. I don’t know. I can’t say that the ‘sexual’ suffix you’ve asked about really bothers me that much, but now you mention it, it doesn’t really seem fair. I know damn well that bi folk are seen as sleeping around and stuff, and not capable of romance, so anything that perpetuates that isn’t going to help.” Mikki has even launched an art project to tackle biphobic stereotypes, although it isn’t far enough along to share a link with Curve/LOTL. “I feel like part of the reason we’re added on with a big ‘sexual’ on the end is that we aren’t taken seriously,” they say. “We’re able to appear ‘straight’ so whatever we do outside of that is just for a kick and nothing else.”
