The L Word vs. The Fosters: In the Hospital

2006. Seven years ago. That’s when season 3 of The L Word was filmed. Season 3 is when Dana (Erin Daniels) dies of breast cancer. I cannot find a video with the particular scenes I want from The L Word in it, so I’ll try to paint the scene with words. When Dana was admitted to the hospital, the only …
