Episode list

Disorganized therapist Richard Pitt decides to re-launch his failed career with online clients though he is yet to qualify and is supervised by Celia Cain, who forces him to expose his own issues. Patients include Fiona, who has a bizarre reason for hating cats, Angie, who wants their sessions to go public and Neil, a loan shark who agrees to treatment in lieu of money owed him. However, when Richard's testy father Jeremy demands he takes in his alcoholic mother Richard needs help from his own therapist Leonard.

With his wife Karen away on business Richard is finding it hard to play the house husband whilst he has no success in asking siblings Jon and Katherine to accommodate their mother. As a result he pins his hopes on live-in carer Jose. Neil's first session throws up alarming revelations, as do the unwanted outpourings of Karen's boss Gunther - resulting in another consultation with Leonard.

New client Nathan presents Richard with a problem close to home whilst Jeremy drops a bombshell. After Richard takes a call from unhappy lottery winner Terry his mother Maggie arrives, to the consternation of Karen and their children, while Jose is having trouble finding his way around the house. To escape the chaos Richard flees to have a less than eagerly anticipated vasectomy.

Having run over a stray dog Richard is further stressed by his student daughter Izzie's affair with Nathan and Maggie's disruptive presence. To make things worse the dead dog has repercussions on a vulnerable client and Karen, unaware that he has backed out of having his vasectomy, has a work crisis. Leonard is no help either but, for all that, Celia seems pleased with his progress.

Soldier Jon returns for Richard's son Ricky's birthday party and to more problems for Richard. Not only has he failed to split Izzie and Nathan but fear of reprisals from Neil leads him to extreme actions - re-mortgaging the house and trying to buy a gun on the dark web. To cap it all Karen is taken ill in Zurich and Leonard wants no more to do with him.

Hung over after Ricky's party Richard can do without a snap supervision session from Celia, a failure to re-mortgage the house and a new patient with foreign accent syndrome. One client has good news, another claims Richard is his long-lost father whilst Nathan's arrival at and Maggie's disappearance from the house add to the chaos. Fortunately Karen and - inadvertently - Neil provide positive cheer.
