The gossip columns go crazy. Interviews with the glamorous starlets are scheduled, and they say things like, "well, I love men, but women have such soft lips and are such great kissers... there's really nothing like it!" Commercials announce that your favorite good, wholesome man-loving female character is about to take a walk on the wild side. The ad spots will inevitably show the two ladies facing each other, lips pursed, faces nearing, only to cut away before the good stuff happens. Well, it must be Sweeps. See Les Yay, Faux Yay. Examples of Sweeps Week Lesbian Kiss include:

This is an Always Female variation on Tonight Someone Kisses where a straight or Bi the Way female character kisses another woman (usually a tertiary character or one-episode guest star). The long-term implications are generally negligible and the female regular characters remain straight. The non-regular's remaining screentime in the series will generally be measured in minutes rather than hours or seasons. This is all assuming, of course, that the whole thing isn't taken entirely out of context, and the footage taken from an Accidental Kiss or, worse, Imagine Spot. Often classified as Fan Service or Fetish Fuel, this is mostly just a Ratings Stunt, calculated to get more viewers while creating a manageable amount of blowback from the Moral Guardians, who, while generally disapproving of lesbianism, have a sufficient Double Standard concerning depictions of male and female homosexuality that they generally save their outrage for, you know, serious dangers to society, like Dogma or Brokeback Mountain... There's one other explanation for the lack of outrage over the most recent Sweeps Saphistry, and that's that people are losing interest in women making out in prime time. Since the mid-2000's, the lesbian sweeps kiss seems to be getting increasingly diminishing returns in the ratings. The LGBT community is no longer desperate for whatever non-negative representation they can get, and critics are no longer impressed by a showrunner's "bravery" by including it. Further, when you can see far more bizarre things on YouTube (to say nothing of other corners of the Web), the Sweeps Week Lesbian Kiss is clearly in danger of becoming a Discredited Trope.
