Therapy With My Stepmom — Episode 4: Therapy for Three

Rewind, gotcha: the towel scene was a fantasy. In real life Riley kicked Cole out of the bathroom. Over dinner Richard gets nosy about the new therapist and wants to sit in on a session. "She doesn't do those." Fine, says Richard, then Riley can run one for the two of them. She agrees without blinking.

Her office, the fire, three people and one huge secret. Richard finally confesses that after the divorce he simply stopped showing up, the sentence Cole waited six months to hear, and Riley is the one who draws it out. Then Richard ducks out for a two-minute call. "God, I want you. Right now." The blazer comes unbuttoned. "Session rules, Mr. Ross. You don't touch." She settles onto his lap. The door handle turns. "Door's locked. Everything okay?" Her answer: "Just a breathing exercise." Episode 4 packs two minutes of pure risk into one scene.
