Jean's worlds begin to collide as Sam celebrates his engagement, Michael makes a troubling discovery and a figure from the past reappears.

Sorry, it's...

That's a huge departure from what you've said in supervision.

- Does that turn you on? - Maybe.

- You got in late. - Yeah, it was a rough night.

but family, emotions are intense.

Okay, right. I'm sorry.

for, like, hours.

Honey...

and he's involved with drugs, and she's involved, and...

- Wait, 309? - Yeah, I kept it.

Maybe you manipulated her, got under her skin, huh?

So, he feels hurt.

Are you really asking me that at this point?

No, it was an e-mail, which I didn't respond to, of course.

then who am I to tell you how much time you need?

I wanted to.

I'll give up everything.

and so I've been asked tonight to speak about

Jean realizes a patient has been lying to her. As Dolly rehearses for her play, Jean contends with her disapproving mother and an impatient Sidney.

Well, wait, are you sure?

but I can't really divulge any details, by law.

I'm so worried that I upset her to the point where she might

They're working hard on their relationship.

You got a name, Curious George?

Something else to consider, children who exhibit ADHD tendencies

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Look, Sam, I, um...

Honestly, it'll probably be good for you, too.

Uh, Greek salad, dressing on the side, please.

It's okay, I'm gonna fix it, okay? Mommy's got a plan, all right?

you know, including you in the case, and taking you to Texas, and...

I like my privacy.

Sweetheart, is it possible you have grown since your birthday party?

Which is perfectly acceptable these days.

Like when she was rejected by Stanford.

Hey, even if it was just as a "fuck you" to your mom, I'm proud of you.

- Where's Dolly? - Um, I'll go find her. Hold on one sec.

I felt completely out of control, like I couldn't see anymore,

The office rumor mill stirs up trouble for Michael. A request from Claire backs Jean into a corner. Sidney takes a defiant step.

Yeah. Good, actually. I, um...

No. You fell hard for her. Nearly killed me.

- It's cool, right? - Yeah, I love it.

- It's good to be giving. - Yeah.

- Can we talk for a sec? - Sure, what's up?

I told you, I like my privacy.

They might even hold the door for me on the way out.

I'd start by renting a Westfalia,

anything about me...

Maybe you're my magic pill.

But as you pursue a relationship with Emily,

how does it make you feel thinking about it here, in this room?

But it's important that you release all of your feelings here with me.

What kind of issues?

But I was protecting Melissa.

- She gets out in about two weeks. - Oh, yeah?

Oh, and, uh...

I actually... I wrote her a letter, since I'll probably be too... nervous

Honestly, I don't wanna negatively impact

Thanks.

While Michael and Alexis throw back drinks at a hotel bar in Texas, Jean clears her schedule to prepare for the "full Sidney experience."

That is, if you like new things.

or tell you what to do, and you have to do it.

I was... intrigued.

It's what came to me, and I don't wanna overthink it.

Reading people. Words.

- It's cold. - Yeah.

♪ If they don't know your worth ♪

You don't need to tell me anything.

You only live once.

I mean, you and Jean, you seem to have it all figured out pretty well.

Why did you date him so long?

he's a horny motherfucker, and I basically need it all the time.

That reminds me of me.

Um...

I think...

After an intense night out with Michael, Jean finds her secret identity at risk once again. A surprise visitor adds to mounting pressures at work.

But it seems that, um...

A musician, actually.

- It was really amazing. - I know.

- And you say that I lie. - It's nothing.

Are you considering changing careers?

I'm just gonna grab his leash.

God, you look so scared.

Oh, I uh... I kind of have a...

I mean, I did yoga for a little while, but my hamstring...

because you are taking time for yourself.

That is, if you even have a place of your own.

What's Sadie doing here? I'm surprised she's allowed over.

Oh, I forgot. I've gotta go to Texas on Thursday for two nights.

- She's the most irresponsible... - Sam, just slow down.

You don't need Sidney to make you happy.

- I hope you didn't think it was cheesy. - Not at all.

I mean, they're eight. It sounds like a fraternity!

- How was the PTA meeting? - I killed it.

Oh, my God.

So, can you call me back when you have a chance? Thank you, bye.

You're right. I was preoccupied. I'm...

we should reserve judgment.

I'm confused why you're seeing her at all.

Allison, where are you living right now?

Well, if he can't reach me, tell him I'll be home after dinner.

If things don't work out with music, what's your backup plan?

It's a tempting way to live.

Stop thinking about what everyone else wants for you.

Yeah, I know right? Well, she's actually been...

- No. No, I'm fine. - Okay.

Michael grows suspicious of Jean's new secretive streak, Sidney's frustrations boil over, and a visit to Rebecca's new home triggers a revelation.

These are big decisions you're making here.

Wow, that's bold, Sam.

I don't know what I'm trying to say right now.

to spend too much time outside the office.

Sure.

with the amount of shit I was puttin' in my body...

Go on, you can do it.

- Oh, hey. - Oh, and you are?

Do you know the name?

I was going to buy her a housewarming present,

You don't know that.

get in touch with our true selves.

Excellent. Let's go! Get it!

Yeah, hey, Frances. It's nice to see you again.

What is your passcode?

- So nice to meet you... - Dax.

Jesus! Who runs the option on third and six? Come on!

Same way you choose who you are.

How's your mom?

I don't think anything can replace that connection.

Oh, come on, he went through so much shit with the divorce.

- What is that about, Diane? - Just seems so angry.

Thank your girlfriend for giving me jerk-off material.

Well, first, I'd like to say thank you for having me.

♪ I wanna get inside I wanna get inside ♪

where it's imperceptible to the ones most close to me.

While deepening her bond with Sidney, Jean uncovers the truth behind Rebecca's move and goes above and beyond to help a distressed Allison.

Don't you think we ought to go to bed?

Okay.

- I want us to be okay. - We are.

Would walk past her classroom over and over again,

I can be, when I like someone or something.

And after thinking she was lying dead in the gutter,

I moved her into that apartment.

I could fit you in, in about an hour with Jessica?

I'm at the salon.

Then movie?

I mean, sometimes there's just unnecessary detail,

Those are all really important clues.

Did you really have a patient emergency the other night?

you'd think I was guilty.

Stay the fuck away from me.

She's done some soul-searching.

But...

Yeah, it was a bad situation with a patient.

So fast that my mouth was like this.

I don't even know your last name.

Upper West.

Um, I reached out to Sam the other day, kind of randomly,

I wear contacts to work.

I'll take a Jack and Coke.

You're her fucking shrink.

I just want to talk to you.

But, um... you know,

but I figure it's just easier to hide until he calms down.

I don't even want her to see me like this.

I don't have a great relationship with my mother, either.

Jean surprises Michael with a date night in the city. Back in Connecticut, Dolly's birthday party creates new tensions with the power moms.

No. Upstairs, please.

if you don't look suspicious, people never suspect anything.

As long as Dolly's happy.

I have my ways.

One look at your face and I'd know everything.

I can't even imagine my life without you and Dolly.

Oh, it's the caterers.

Or Emily, my ex before Sidney,

Finding someone who loves you for who you really are,

No, it's great, really.

but as the mother, you sometimes have to take responsibility.

She hasn't mentioned anything.

Why would you disregard that and go do it yourself?

So glad you used Milana. It's pretty affordable, too, right?

- It's just a trick. - I don't want to be tricked.

Hey, stay for one drink, okay? It's a long trip back.

I mean, it's her birthday, so I thought I'd honor her wish.

And you, with your stash of pills, and your obsession with appearances.

You're becoming such a big girl.

and I don't need a magician for that.

As "Diane" and Sidney get to know each other, longtime patient Claire grates on Jean's nerves, and new patient Allison slips into a downward spiral.

Well I heard about the whole debacle at school.

But, uh...

She can't live without the attention.

My favorite part was that we had indoor recess.

beef bourguignon.

Maybe I should work late more often.

Huh...

Well, but that's for work, right? Not me.

what do you think Rebecca's take on your relationship is right now?

No, I stayed the same.

But I am just tired of sitting in that office

But I think it might be worth getting on the phone with him yourself,

Record your message after the tone.

- Get to the source. - Couldn't agree more.

So why do you see him at all? Play with his feelings like that?

I know you want to displace your anger onto me, and that's fine.

You do all of that, but if you don't look your best,

I gotta get a real coffee table. Wow...

It's a fresh start.

Zal and I go way back. Don't tell her jack shit.

Plus, the whole relationship with Talia complicated shit with Sam and pfft.

because I'm not with her anymore.

See, your face.

- Um, here you go. - Thank you.

Growing restless with married suburban life, New York therapist Jean Holloway develops a furtive fascination with a patient's ex-girlfriend.

[cell phone ringing]

I just want you to know that I really like to please you.

I never was adventurous, but she made me feel like I was.

It's like...

for the past year straight.

[Jean] Well, even if I wanted to, I just don't have time.

I mean, they're not my favorite people,

My friend Drew said her mom came, and you're like some miracle worker, so...

my mom just got the results of a CT scan,

Actually, what kind of wine do you have?

Cool.

- [man] Hey. - Hey, honey.

What do you tell women who come to you with jealousy issues?

No, you were fine.

Shouldn't Alexis be out on a date as opposed to e-mailing you right now?

- Is everything all right? - Oh, yes, yes, sorry.

This sexuality stuff starts early.

You guys have way too much time on your hands.

Well, I'll get some more.

[laughs] Go for it. I'd love to see that.

♪ Do you let me win ♪

- Frances? - Hmm.

[laughs]

It was this one thing that happened, and I went about my day,

Back in the day I was a little more wild.

- Who's this? - Uh, that's my niece, my sister's kid.

Jean already thinks I spend too much time talking to you.

It's impossible for me to speculate on Rebecca's life.

She told me a little bit about her show the other night.
