- 001. Click to Start – 7/19/2011
- Philadelphia therapist Fiona Wallice (Lisa Kudrow) has left her practice at Lachman Brothers under undefined mysterious circumstances and has a conceived of a new practice of web therapy by which clients will video chat with her for just three minutes, so they can cut right to the chase rather than spending 50 minutes idly chatting. She first tests this out on her husband Kip (Victor Garber) who is sitting right next to her, and they simulate a session with him passively going through his litany of grievances about her controlling and needy tendencies and the fact that he’s been unhappy for 15 and a half years of their seventeen-year marriage as she blows through his money. She then chats with an old colleague from Lachman named Richard Pratt (Tim Bagley), with whom she is clearly interested… although she once had invited him to kiss her and when he tried, she referred to it as a ‘sex crime.’ Richard merely wants advice on his current girlfriend, and with that she closes the session for the week. She then chats with Gina Spinks (Jennifer Elise Cox), the ditsy receptionist at Lachman who helped put up her flyers in the breakroom, which led to Richard using her services. Fiona then returns to a session with Richard and in the midst of it, sends him a sexy picture. Richard is happy with his girlfriend but fears she is not taking her medication. Fiona inadvertently steers Richard toward proposing to his girlfriend. Later she chats with Kip who is upstairs about securing a start-up fee of $200,000 from Lachman, insinuating blackmail in her request. Finally she has a session with her former client Jerome Sokoloff (Dan Bucatinsky), who has recently turned to another therapist, thinking that Fiona doesn’t deal in incest. His issue is that he was going to propose to his girlfriend Hayley when he found out that she may have been conceived from a sperm donation from his father to one of her lesbian mothers. 12/27/18
- 002. Desperate Measures – 7/26/2011
- Jerome brings his girlfriend Hayley Feldman-Tate (Rashida Jones) to his session with Fiona, and Hayley maintains they are not half-siblings, but rather Jerome just has a problem with committing. Fiona attempts to finagle having them sign a release form so that she can use their case as a promo of her modality of therapy to pitch to the Lachman Brothers as investors. Fiona gets Kamal Prakash (Maulik Pancholy), a tech support guy for her husband, to set up her computer to record sessions, accusing him of hitting on her when he clearly has no interest. During the next session with Jerome and Hayley, Fiona is told that Hayley sent a DNA sample to be tested and that she is not in fact related to Jerome, despite the sperm donor numbers matching. Fiona is absolutely furious, and after analyzing the true nature of the problems in their relationships gets them to agree to future sessions where they pretend that they never got the DNA test results. Fiona pitches her modality to Jeremy Lachman, but he never returns her call to set up an appointment. She talks to Kip about it, and he again refuses to fund her start-up, instead referring her to call her mother for money. Fiona talks to Richard, and he tells her that he was forced to call off his engagement after Fiona interrupted his proposal by inviting herself to the table, insulting his new fiancee, and then sticking gum in her hair. Richard also confesses that he is in love with Fiona and propositions her to meet him. She cryptically agrees to meet him and blushes at his dirty talk about his plans with her. 12/29/18
- 003. Shrink Rap – 8/2/2011
- Fiona calls her mother Putsy Hodge (Lily Tomlin) to explain her modality of web therapy and to ask her to invest with some startup money, but her mother is largely unimpressed amidst delivering a litany of passive aggressive insults. Putsy claims the family fortune is dwindling and that she just gave Kip $100,000 when he requested because she believes he is a man of integrity. Fiona starts a session with a new client Ted Mitchell (Bob Balaban), who is curious about how her three-minute sessions work, but Fiona is reluctant to give any of her background or methods, and decides that she doesn’t like Ted and wants to drop him immediately. Ted then admits that he is actually there to assess her performance at the request on behalf of the Lachmans, and finds her completely unqualified. Fiona calls Gina, who is in Jeremy Lachman’s car watching Jersey Shore while he gets his waxing, and tries to talk her into intercepting the report that Ted is going to be sending, and to flag it and send it on to her. Gina says that the report already showed up and that the Lachmans were laughing at it. Gina also mentions that she is now sleeping with Jeremy to keep her job, and that he is giving her periodic gifts. However she is running out of things to ask for, so she asks Fiona if she needs anything… causing Fiona’s eyes to light up. She later has another session with Ted which is much more lucrative, and her ‘word affiliation’ exercise leads to a breakthrough about him being molested by his nurse as a child, a topic he hasn’t ever discussed in seventeen years of therapy. He ends up giving the Lachmans a glowing recommendation of her, and in their next session, he looks for advice on how to handle his many famous clients… which again causes her to see an opportunity to pilfer some of his clients for her web therapy format. 12/18/19
- 004. Public Relations – 8/9/2011
- Fiona has a session with Claire Dudek (Jane Lynch), who specializes in new product launches for Clark and Wescott, and has been ordered to go through therapy after slamming a paperweight into a subordinate’s fingers. Claire is hostile and seems to have no interest in the session, but agrees to fawn over the subordinate to help soften her, if Fiona will sign off and say she is making progress. During their next session, Claire is told that she is being put on probation and having her clients taken away so Claire destroys her office. Fiona offers to let Claire help her with her modality launch. Claire loses her temper and threatens to track Fiona down. Claire then finds Fiona by using the handle Honky Tonk Girl, and tells her that she copyrighted the phrase ‘web therapy’, and offers to take 70 percent to Fiona’s 30. However Fiona threatens to turn over the recorded session of Claire having a meltdown, so Claire is forced to accept 10 percent. Kip helps Fiona draw up a contract for Claire’s services, leaving a loophole for her to be able to fire Claire at will. Fiona has a session with Justin Fein (Drew Sherman) and his girlfriend Bryn (Patty Guggenheim), who is so busy with work that it is affecting their relationship, causing Justin to become jealous of the time she spends with her co-workers. Fiona gets Justin to admit that he is a screenwriter and contributes no money to the household. Fiona tells Justin that he is basically worthless so he should be happy to be with a professional who supports him… but then she finds out that Bryn is actually a porn star. 12/18/19
- 005. Shrinking & Growing – 8/16/2011
- Fiona continues her session with Justin and Bryn, and finds out that Justin can’t bring Bryn home to meet his moms, referring to the fact that his family are fundamentalist Mormons so he has five mothers. She suggests that they have individual sessions to talk about his family, and the friction she has with some of her fellow porn stars. Jerome does a testimonial for Fiona, but he talks more about his girlfriend Hayley and the minutiae of his own life. Fiona and Kamal try to talk Gina into delivering a testimonial, but when she starts talking about breaking up with her boyfriend because he never wanted sex, Gina and Kamal wind up flirting the entire time. Later Fiona sees that she is suddenly getting swamped with appointments, although she has no idea why. She meets again with Justin and Bryn, but they show up together rather than separately. When Fiona mentions that she can’t find Bryn on Google, and when she mentions that she known how to use Google and then Google’s herself, a site comes up called Can You Believe This Is My Therapist?, which had been placed there by Justin and Bryn. They are actually internet sensations who poke fun at people, and Fiona was perfect fodder. Fiona is initially furious and litigious, until she realizes they are getting over 340,000 views, and then wants to add a link to her site. Later Kip sees Fiona looking through the many video messages she’s been getting, most of them inappropriate, and orders her to shut down the website. After he leaves, she meets with a woman named Robin Griner (Julie Claire) for a session, and claims that she might work out too often and might be too beautiful. They spend the entire session passively-aggressively putting each other down. Fiona tells her that she is very aggressive and obviously has a problem with other women. She then learns that Kip is her spin partner at the gym. 4/6/20
- 006. We’ve Got a Secret – 8/23/2011
- Fiona has another session with Robin, and they taunt each other over whether Kip is actually interested in her. Robin tells her that Kip is taking her on a ‘business’ trip to sleep together, but Fiona warns her that Kip is impotent. Fiona speaks to Kamal from Kip’s office and he tells her that he’s seeing Gina, and also that he’s being asked questions by Lachman about Fiona’s budget, so therefore finds that it would be a conflict of interest to work for her… especially since she’s never paid him. While they are chatting, Fiona’s mother calls and tells her that she has good news and that she is going to spend her money on her offspring while she is still living. Fiona switches back to Kamal to tell him that she no longer needs him. Then she finds out that her mother plans to pour all of her money in their long-lost brother, a half-Vietnamese child she had before Fiona and her sister were born. She begins trying to get back in touch with Kamal. Later she chats with Robin, who is now loading up on carbs, looking sloppy, and crying uncontrollably. She tells Fiona that she went to Atlanta with Kip, and that he was unable to perform because he thought she was a transvestite male. Later when chatting with Jerome about his relationship with Hayley, Fiona finds out that he works for Visa, and has him check on Kip’s credit card charges, all of which indicate he has been spending heavily on homo-erotic items and places. Fiona finally gets hold of Kamal and tells him that she plans to pay him for some of his work, and then uses psychology to convince him that his life is empty and that he needs to be assertive and work for her. He talks his way into owning ten percent of the business and agrees to steal Kip’s financial information and give it to her. 4/7/20
- 007. Exposed! – 8/30/2011
- Fiona gets nervous when Jerome tells her that he is under investigation by Visa’s internal affairs department. He remains assertive but allows himself to be guilt-tripped into going in to freeze Kip’s account, but before he can do that, he is dragged away by security. Kamal leaves his seventh video message demanding payment for the inside work he did with the Lachmans. He threatens to tell the Lachmans that Fiona’s budget is bogus. Fiona tries to infiltrate Kamal and his family by having Gina date him and meet his parents. However, when she does, they call her a ‘Western whore’ and send him off to India to marry his fiancé. Gina has also taken Russell the C.F.O. under her wing after he tried to commit suicide as the company is investigated and all of their hard drives become ripe for seizure. Fiona’s mother Putsy has brought her illegitimate son Tik Noc Minh into the house, and has taken to smoking copious amounts of pot. While Fiona is on the phone, she helplessly watches Tik take furniture and artwork out to his car. Putsy also admits that she bought a rubber band paper weight from him for $20,000. Tik agrees to go with Putsy to Philadelphia to meet Fiona and Kip. Later they chat about the visit, which did not go well because Tik tried to steal from Fiona and Kip and then held them at knifepoint. They also conducted a blood test and found out conclusively that Tik is not Putsy’s son. Putsy doesn’t believe this until, while again heavily under the influence of marijuana, is told by the truth by Kip. Putsy then passes out on camera. The charges from Visa are dropped against Jerome, but he is forced to get a new job. He chats with Fiona and delivers the complaints about the new job that Hayley is expressing. Fiona takes offense since she set him up with the new job… which is revealed to be working for her when he wanders into the range of her computer camera. 7/19/20
- 008. Psychic Analysis – 9/6/2011
- Fiona tries to get Kip to help have her mother declared insane, but he refuses as he is dealing with too many issues of his own, which include Kamal being missing, someone having hacked into his computers, and his Visa being declined. Later she gets a call from famous psychic Serena Duvall (Courtney Cox) who hopes that Fiona can help her interpret her dreams in order to re-claim her psychic power that was often revealed to her via dreams. Serena tells Fiona her latest dream about a phony wall of ice, which seems to perfectly describe Fiona’s situation with Kip, during which he is portrayed as a pink unicorn who frequently goes out and rubs horns with other unicorns. She also identifies that the girl in her dream had a pet pony named Spanglepants. Later Fiona agrees to chat with Robert Lachman (Steven Weber), who tells her about being under investigation by the S.E.C. and the fact that he is under house arrest. He wants to be able to tell the authorities that he is under Fiona’s care for having a ‘risk addiction’ akin to Evel Knievel. He tells her that there is something he can do for her if she agrees. Serena calls Fiona back and tells her that she interpreted her dream and identified the ‘phony wall of ice’ as her name Fiona Wallace. She also wants to find out if Fiona indeed had a pony named Spanglepants. When Serena mentions that she is about to be a guest on the TV talks show Tyra in an episode highlighting web professionals, Fiona gladly sends Serena a photo of her on her pony Spanglepants. Serena agrees to get Fiona on the show as well. The day after the talk show appearance, Fiona chats with Serena about the Tyra appearance, in which she was merely in the audience as a plant to show off Serena’s abilities by revealing the pony and her gay husband on the air. Fiona wound up cussing at Tyra about choices made on her other show America’s Next Top Model. Serena tells Fiona about another dream she has about a fat girl on a pony being chased by a black-robed figure. Fiona doesn’t believe in any of it, but her next call is from her mother who is trying out her Halloween costume: a devil in a black robe. She tells Fiona she is thinking about coming to live with her, but then tells her that she was just joking. Putsy also reveals that Fiona broke Spanglepants’ back from her weight.

Ben doesn’t take kindly to the insinuations and quits the campaign, telling Fiona that she is too hard to deal with, especially after Fiona makes a citizen’s arrest on a female child for overeating. Kip then calls Fiona to ask her what she did to make Ben quit, but Fiona is more interested in Kip undoing the damage that the hairdresser did to his hair. Fiona attempts to speak to Jerome again, but instead of Hayley being with him, Tammy is with him again. Jerome starts insinuating that he wants to take the same track as an expectant mother, and will need more money to care for Fiona’s every whim, and then to take care of the baby.

He is also becoming more interested in their rising numbers of followers as they are asking for opinions on whether they should meet or not.
