William's dispute with brother Frank, while his wife is treated for infertility, over their abusive father, guilt and (alcohol) addiction escalates into provoked violence. Dr. Austin Langham enjoys his job, supervising the diet pills marketing as sexy spokesman, ironically except intimate home 'brainstorming' with the fat female entrepreneur. Only when the power is shut off, William acknowledges Betty's warnings that their finances require structural measures, like subletting part of the floor to mundane commercial firms. While William and Virginia bicker where to take their relationship, the research project and sexual therapy, she comes clean to psychiatrist Lloyd Madden so as to properly help Barbara and others by incorporating analysis and psychotherapeutic techniques.
