I don't blame Paul for getting riled up at this couple. This episode was the shortest of the first week, but it jumped right into the heart of the conflict between these two people, and for the first time in the first week, you see Paul starting to crack a little bit. The writing was perfect in the way it brought the couple and Paul to the point where Paing Paul felt cornered and he had to lash out at them a bit.
The whole story behind the couple is that they spent five years in fertilization treatments, trying to get pregnant, and they had a kid. Now, they spent more time trying to get pregnant and with a second kid on the way, the wife wants an abortion. This would be a clear-cut enough case if their wasn't the possibility of infidelity and the fact that Jake has a temper. It's hard to know who to believe in this situation, but Paul attempts to explain to them that HE cannot tell this couple whether or not to get an abortion: it's up to them.
It's difficult for shows to do abortion as a topic without bringing up some sort of controversy, but it seems that In Treatment will be following this couple through their difficulties over the course of nine weeks, so we'll get nine weeks of development with them. I think that the most interesting part is how we see Paul finally lash out, something he hasn't done with his previous three patients. I really enjoyed how they introduced Paul seeing his old therapist. It appears he's finally reached his breaking point.
I'm really looking forward to hear how Paul deals with this couple. If he can get that upset in one session, it should be interesting to see how he copes the rest of the time.moreless
