A very coquettish Fiona decides to ruin Richard's relationship with his fiancé and this gives a completely different picture of the web therapist that of a self-centered home wrecker.
Lisa Kudrow cannot inhabit a character, that's one thing for sure, but she does deliver some good punches, especially when she explains her behavior with Richard's fiancé to Richard. When I compare this to Meryl Streep's episode, Kudrow in the latter couldn't keep pace with Meryl's brilliance. Here, she is saved because Tim Bagley himself plays his role as simply as possible.
I do however blame the writers here for giving such inconsistencies to the plot in an attempt to bring more laughs. Richard's character is somewhat confusing because I never felt he thought he would do what he did in the end after finding out Fiona's intentions. It makes both appear antagonistic.
My Rating: 5 out of 10
