Storyline

Telemarketers Andrew Wayne Milne, Matthew Clark Hazen, and Martin Jacobs are shot by their insane former co-worker Daniel Grant Showalter who then commits suicide. Fisher & Diaz gets both the Milne and the Showalter funerals - but Rico objects to having the killer's, especially on the same day his victim's is to be held, so makes David's life miserable by refusing to pick up his body or do his job quietly. Stuck picking it up himself, David misses therapy with Keith, and Frank Mushler encourages him to view his own feelings about David without him around to defend himself. Lisa and Nate manage to invite David and Keith over for a barbecue dinner for a while before Carol barges in and literally demands Lisa's attention, but it gives Keith and David plenty of time to reflect on what problems their relationship has.

Getting Clean

Daniel Grant Showalter comes to his office and shots Andrew Wayne Milne, Matthew Clark Hazen and Martin Jacobs killing them. When "Fisher and Diaz" are hired for his funeral, Rico does not accept the work, but David does. David practices singing for the choir, and Keith and him visit Nate and Lisa. Sarah calls Ruth and asks her to buy Vicodin. When she arrives at his place, she meets Bettina, who is taking care of Sarah's withdrawal of drugs. Claire brings Phil, the guy from the crematory that she is dating, to her home, and he discloses his feelings to her.

This episode shows Sarah cleaning herself from drugs in the best moments, but the boring relationship of Nate and Lisa is really spoiling this series. Once again I miss Brenda and the relationship of Keith and David and Claire and Phill are monotonous. I expected some reaction from Rico, but the situation of the funeral service of the killer was under control. My vote is seven.
