One my main complaints with this show so far has been that whole episodes go by in which nothing much really happens. That's true this week but it's also my favorite episode of the series so far. Maybe it's the way in which not much happens that matters.
Three awkward pause-filled therapy sessions highlight the episode. In the first we start to get a glimpse of why David can't have sex with his wife anymore and apparently it's because she's his wife and the fact that she's associated with all the mundane business of being a suburban dad just isn't much of a turn-on. (What does turn David on? Is that ice cream shop scene a suggestion?) They're great at being parents but it's that skill itself that's eating away at their love life. I don't know if I buy that logic, but at least it's logic. In the second, Carolyn shows up sans Palek, who's busy buying a suit from an extremely attentive clerk. I sense trouble. In the third, Jaime finally makes it into therapy after stalking Hugo and attempting to tattoo, then screw, the pain away. "I define myself by sex," she says of a previous round of therapy. "That's what we figured out." I think we figured that out a long time ago, but at least she senses there's a problem.
