When Christine learns that Barb had Matthew do a backup recommendation for her INS application, she seeks solace with her new therapist, Dr. Max Kershaw. Unfortunately, Max confronts her with the issue that she does bail on things when they get hard. He puts her through the ropes to encourage her to finish things and when she finally has a mini-breakthrough, the end up hugging, reinforcing, once again that they are attracted to each other.

Also, Matthew and Richard have moved in to their new apartment, but Richard doesn’t love the new arrangement: Matthew has set all these boundaries because of his lack of boundaries in his former arrangement with Christine and is no fun to live with.
