Verbotene Liebe recap: Miriam and Rebecca - The story so far

By Anna McFaith on Thursday, December 2, 2010 - 20:02

Just as Rebecca basks in the silence, the goon squad shows up, wavy hair and all. The girls aren't impressed. Not even when the guys ask them to apply lotion to their awesome bods... or when the guys offer the girls massages.

Rebecca is about to leave when Miriam tells her that they won't be chased off by the goon squad and not to startle. Rebecca looks confused, until Miriam closes the distance between them and kisses her smack on the lips.

To my utter shock, Miriam’s trick works; the guys leave! Let me tell you, in all my 10 years as an active lesbian, never, ever, has the act of two girls kissing chased away a man but... this is a soap series and a plot device, so who am I to argue when two gorgeous girls decide to kiss?

After not one, not two, but three lengthy kisses, Miriam pulls back from a stunned Rebecca, asks how it was and leans back to read her magazine without waiting for the answer. I'm calling butch on Miriam!

Rebecca's confusion is cut short by her sudden remembrance of an (imaginary?) appointment and the next time we find the girls, they are heading home. Miriam brings up the kiss Rebecca seemed all to happy to forget and kind of insincerely agrees it was a great idea to scare off the guys.

The two embrace and then Miriam leaves Rebecca to contemplate her own emotions, and a run-in with an innocent passer-by, who has no idea of the internal struggles Rebecca is dealing with - especially when she sees the two women are a couple who are holding hands and smiling at her as they walk away.

The next thing we know, we are treated to a gorgeous dream sequence set in No Limits. Rebecca and Miriam dance and kiss as soft music echoes through the otherwise empty space. It's perfect and entirely too fast but well, it's a soap and I'll take all I can get.
