Lauren brings a very reluctant Alex on a trip to a relationship maintenance weekend to work on their connection.
Mallory takes up Tarot card reading. After Lauren doesn't enjoy Alex's economics picnic and feels she can't relate to Alex anymore, she persuades him to join a group for therapy. They meet some interesting characters there, but Alex has difficulty opening up and leaves the group. Then at the next session, Lauren has trouble confronting her issues.
•Mallory sees Kitty Dukakis in her Tarot cards as a distraught woman (her husband recently lost the 1988 election)
•A young Stephen Baldwin plays one of the men in therapy.
•After Steven reveals his cards in the poker match, Andy is seen leaning on Nick's knee, at least until he pushes Andy off.

Immediately unimpressed with the group, Alex avoids all personal questions about his relationship with Lauren and walks out. Regretting his actions, Alex resolves to prepare for his next session by reading psychology books and memorizing whatever appropriate lingo he can pick up.
