Episode Report Card Couch Baron: A | 8 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Coming To A Boil

Don's recording a reassuring message to a client; he finishes up when Bertram enters, who tells him that he just had to talk "Lucky Strike Sr." off a ledge, and his team is coming for lunch the next day to see if Roger is "still involved." Bertram admits that he invited the guy out of bravado, and he called his bluff, so he needs Don to "draw focus from our guest of honor." Don looks dismayed.
Rachel is having lunch in a Chinese restaurant with her sister Barbara, who's trying to sell her on a date with some guy; when Rachel declines, Barbara asks, "Are you still seeing that Goy?" I guess that's what we're going with now, sure. Rachel decides to test the waters, basically saying that Don's married. Barbara: "My goodness. Jesus!" Hee. Barbara must be quite shocked to take the not-Lord's name in vain. Rachel immediately pulls back, saying that nothing's happened, but she's thinking about it, as it feels so natural, and she feels so close to him. "He's married, but I don't think he's happy." Oh, Rachel. You were one of the few non-participants in the Rationalization Theater that is this show. Barbara says what she knows, she knows from movies, but basically, everything seems magical until you start talking to the guy (Goy?) about leaving his wife, and then he doesn't. Barbara then cracks open a fortune cookie for Rachel, which reads, "You are your own worst enemy." True enough, and it's a testament to how on-topic this show always is that it's still true if you add "in bed."
