Heeding the desperate cry for therapy and counseling, Dr. Shrink moves in offering psychiatric treatment, couples counseling and is a licensed podiatrist.

His office is on the first floor of his condo.

(The smoking table in the corner is from Cheap Frills. It's based on the chessboard so you gain logic and energy and fun and comfort and everything else from smoking cigarettes. This is true in real life as well)

He lives upstairs.

He goes downtown after he moves in and meets Ash in a bar.

He tells her she is deeply psychotic and needs to be on thorazine immediately if not sooner. "Call me and we'll do lunch."

Eileen gets up the nerve to talk to the Doctor. She longs to spill her guts about Jill and her affairs but she doesn't completely trust a doctor who says "Ciao"

David grabs him before he leaves and talks to him about wanting to divorce his boyfriend Steve.

Dr. Shrink takes him out to dinner so they can discuss his therapy and insurance over a nice beaujolais. "What? No liquor license? Oh all right, give me a Coke and put some asprin in it."

Dr. Shrink, Brian Shrink, doesn't think they need to get lawyers all involved. Basically, all they want is to take your money. Brian asks David and Steve to consider long term couples counseling, perhaps 6 times a week. Depending on their insurance of course.

David hasn't felt so cared for in months. He can't wait to start therapy.

As Dr. Brian calls for his cab, he notices Eileen staring off into space.

His cab's here so he really has to run, but he wants her to know she can come over whenever she wants, his calendar is open. And he accepts visa, mastercard and discover.
David spends an hour pouring his heart out to Dr. Brian. Never has anyone listened to him as closely and thoughtfully as Dr. Brian.

He really feels the Dr. only has his best interests at heart.

Dr. Brian assures David he can come back any time, just call first. And bring that girlfriend by too.

David tells Steve that he thinks they could use some couples counseling. He met this really great therapist, Dr. Brian Shrink.

"That quack!"

Steve thinks he's creepy 'cause his office is in his house.

But he loves David so he'll give it a shot.

Back at Sheila's we see nothing's changed.
She gets completely stinko then tries to tickle the maid. Again.

Yvette comes over and is like, are you guys having a party still? Jane tells her there's no party, Sheila just drinks like this every night.

Yvette tells Jane she's going to see about getting Sheila some professional help.
Jane thanks her.
And once again carts her ass off to bed.

 

People in this town are sick and Dr. Brian is certainly no help even if you have Visa. Will anyone be cured?
