Paul meets with Gina.

7.0

"Good"

By thefanof, Apr 07, 2009

After the tremendous start to the second season it was only natural that at some point the show must slow down. This is a prime example of one of the pros of the daily format In Treatment had during its freshman season, as this had the feel of a "Friday" show in it.

Not that it was bad, the exchanges between Paul and the man on the train were witty and comical, but there was just a slow vibe to the episode, and the perfect pacing so prevalent in the first four sessions just was not there. I also noticed that Gabriel Byrne lost his accent on certain words sounding Irish on one, and American the next, but that happens to even the best European actors.

Not by any stretch was this a terrible episode, but not quite as impactful as the four other stories.moreless

- Gina: (to Paul) Whatever happened between you and Alex in treatment, you didn't kill him. You were trying to help him. He left therapy. His plane crashed. He died. Those things occurred in a sequence, but they are not causally related.

- Gina: When someone dies, you want an explanation. But it doesn't mean there is one.
  EDIT SHARE
- Paul: I just don't care. I don't care anymore. The truth is, I'm just fucking sick of sitting in a chair day after day after day listening to people's problems.
  EDIT SHARE
- Paul: I had my chance at love last year and I blew it. I'm not taking that risk again. Gina: That risk? Paul: The risk of seeing how happy I could be. The risk of having somebody want me. The risk of being happy. No, thanks.
  EDIT SHARE
- Paul: (to Gina) Do people ever forgive themselves really? I know we talk about it all the time, but do people ever really do it?
  EDIT SHARE
- Gina: Paul, we're not gods. We can't save anybody. You really care about your patients. But I have to say you're no good to anybody as long as you are living with all this fear and anger.
  EDIT SHARE
- (talking about Paul's mother) Gina: She was sick, Paul. She was too sick for you to save her. Paul: I wish you could tell that to my unconscious.
