This episode brings back Jemma, the neurotic woman who pays handsomely to live her fantasies. She has taken a liking to Ray, whose name she finally discovers when Tanya mentions it in a fit of anger. Tanya, is concerned about the fact that Jemma has been calling Ray directly to arrange for trysts without going through her. Ray has no choice to come out clean to his client.
One of the reason Jemma books Ray is to take him to a session with her own shrink. Ray, who is completely taken aback, does not know what to say when Jemma spews a whole lot of complaints about her boyfriend Jim. Of course, she expects Ray to play the part, which ends badly.
Tanya is surprised when she goes to see Ray to discuss her "firing" of Jemma as a client. After all, she made an executive decision, which Ray does not approve; he is also a member of this enterprise and as such he feels there is nothing wrong with seeing Jemma on a permanent basis. The twins, who are visiting Ray, overhear their conversation, although their main interest is the kind of car their father is going to buy for them.
Jessica, meanwhile, talking to her mother, expresses her disappointment about being poor. The mother has an idea: how about going through Ronnie's papers to investigate. The credit card statements show the normal transactions used by him, but the mother hits the jackpot when she finds the brokerage latest account of Ronnie's finances. They both are amazed there are over eight hundred thousands in assets.
Ray, whose coaching job has been revealed to Jemma, is having a bad time at the basketball game being played. Jessica and the kids have come to root for him, as well as Tanya, who makes an unexpected appearance. Ray, whose team is losing was seen early in the game as preoccupied because Jemma was coming. As she enters the arena, Ray summons all the players to do their best. The team wins by a point and Jemma, as well as the rest of the crowd, is deeply impressed with Ray.
Another great episode from the first season. This was one of the shows without almost any sexual content. The strength of the show is in the writing. Colette Burson and Dmitry Lipkin clearly understand the characters that are at the center of the story, although Ellen Sherman is also credited with the writing. This chapter was directed by Matt Shakman. It must be noted that all the directors in the different installment have contributed to make the show the gem it is.
Thomas Jane and Jane Adams give life to Ray and Tanya. Their characters are real because although we might now know anyone in this situation, they are composites of people one have met at one time, or another. Nathalie Zea makes a valuable contribution with her Jemma. Anne Heche and Marylouise Burke do also wonders for our enjoyment.
