Bob Hartley, the lead character of the show, is a psychologist practicing in Chicago, Illinois. In the episode 'Mind Your Own Business,' Bob is visited by a couple, high school sweethearts Tim and Emily, who have been experiencing issues in their marriage. The couple bickers constantly about small things and can't seem to agree on anything.

Bob suggests that they try a business approach to their marriage, where they schedule times to discuss important topics instead of bringing them up at any given moment. He also advises them to keep an open mind and listen to each other's concerns without interruption.

Meanwhile, Bob's wife Emily is feeling neglected by her husband, who is always busy with his clients. Emily talks to Bob's receptionist, Carol, about her feelings and Carol suggests that she try to join one of Bob's group therapy sessions. Emily agrees to give it a try and attends a session where she meets other women who are going through similar issues.

Back at the office, Bob's neighbor, Howard, stops by to pay him a visit and ends up interrupting a session with a client. Bob confronts him about it, but Howard insists that he has a right to be there since he's a friend of Bob's. Bob confides in his therapist friend, Jerry, about the situation, and Jerry suggests that he try to be more assertive with Howard and set boundaries.

In the end, Tim and Emily decide to try Bob's business approach and seem to be making progress in their marriage. Emily also feels more connected to Bob after attending the therapy session and Howard respects Bob's boundaries after he explains how important his clients' privacy is.

The episode ends with a humorous scene where Bob tries to assert himself with Howard by asking him to leave, but ends up giving in when Howard brings up a shared interest in collecting stamps.

Overall, 'Mind Your Own Business' touches on common issues in relationships and highlights the importance of communication, listening, and setting boundaries. The show is funny, relatable, and offers a lighthearted take on the struggles of everyday life.
