After some small talk, Emily reveals that she is feeling depressed and unhappy in her life. Bob suggests that she see a therapist and recommends a colleague of his named Dr. Jerry Robinson.

Emily agrees to see Dr. Robinson and Bob sets up an appointment for her. However, when Emily meets with Dr. Robinson, she finds him to be very distant and unemotional. She leaves feeling even more frustrated and unhappy than before. Bob is surprised by this and decides to investigate Dr. Robinson's techniques and methods.

Meanwhile, at home, Emily's husband Howard is struggling to keep his business afloat. He confides in his friend Jerry, who happens to be Dr. Robinson's brother. Jerry tells Howard that he knows about Emily's therapy sessions and suggests that Howard hire him as a consultant for his business. Howard agrees and Jerry begins to help him get back on track.

As Bob continues to investigate Dr. Robinson, he discovers that he is using unconventional methods that are not backed by science or research. Bob confronts him and they have a heated argument. Bob ultimately decides to report Dr. Robinson to the medical board and he is stripped of his license.
