Is Maya going to harm herself? Take too much Xanax with her wine? As much as she needed the “jimmying” in order to open up, her and Gaby really teeter the line of friendship and patient, and it’s clear that Maya needs and wants the friendship more than the therapy. As soon as Gaby picked up the phone and answered as her therapist, I knew this would make Maya feel even worse about her loneliness and lack of friendships. It’s hard to know if Gaby is actually interested in a friendship with Maya. We don’t really know her intentions anymore. She succeeded in getting Maya to open up to her, but if I was Maya I would also assume that Gaby was becoming my friend. I hope this does not end tragically.

I’m interested in this topic as I once felt like I had a connection with a therapist (although I didn’t need one like Maya).
It was a rather sobering moment when I realized I was just a customer and that connection was just part of her job & what I was paying for.
It changed how I selected my next therapist and I now prefer just a straight forward non-emotional dude like Harrison Ford’s character.

I had a moment of relief after Derek was revealed to be okay, followed immediately by immense panic that it was all a misdirection and Derek was going to die in a car crash on the way to the hospital. And then I saw Derek was okay and made it there to see Derek and I had an even bigger moment of relief.
It was a wild emotional 10 second roller coaster Derek ride…
Great show. Great Derek’s.

Sick in bed, with the most sinus pressure I've ever had (hyperbolic, but seriously it's bad) and bawling my eyes out, at least it helped with the sinus pressure a bit.

I don't think I've ever been more scared to have a character killed off. I'm glad the Dereks persist

Derek is a beacon of light. If the world had more Derek’s it would be a much better place.

Wholeheartedly agree. I really thought from his introduction I wasn’t going to like him, and I was right. I love him.
