Synopsis:
Charlie deciedes to test out a new form of therapy on the group.

Plot
When Jennifer drops Sam off at Charlie's house, Charlie discovers that sleep deprivation has allowed her to realise and admit some past mistakes. Charlie then tells his group about it, then asks them to try it out. Patrick arrives first, followed by Ed, then Nolan and Lacey. The scene skips to 24hrs later where patrick is rehearsing his breakthrough in front of the camera.Kate shows up to tell Charlie that she will be unable to help for several hours. Nolan invites Lacey to eat with him in the kitchen, and actually manages to make her laugh (it may have been accidental). Nolan leaves to use the bathroom and Lacey begins to hit on Charlie, who refuses. Charlie then begins the session, but Lacey continues to hit on him. Nolan, Patrick, and Lacey then storm off during the therapy. Ed then mocks Charlie, who yells "Shut up dad!", just as Kate returns. Kate and Charlie discuss the experiment, but realise that Nolan stood up for himself, Patrick realised that most of his emothions are fake, Lacey came close to a breakthrough, and Charlie dug up some father/son issuses of his own. The next day Lacey returns a blanket that Nolan lent her, and he shows some anger towards her. Charlie then talks to Lacey, and she admits to having some childhood issuses.

Trivia
This is the first episode where Sam doesn't speak.

Mel doesn't make an appearance, hinting that she left therapy and likely went back home.

Ed is the only member of Charlie's therapy group not to have a personal revelation.
