Therapy With My Stepmom — Episode 4: Therapy for Three

Episode 4 starts with a cold splash: that heated moment was only in Cole's head, because in real life Riley threw him out of the bathroom. At dinner Richard gets curious about Cole's new therapist and wants to join a session. Cole insists she doesn't do those, so Richard volunteers Riley to run one for them. She says yes, of course.

In her office, by the fire, the real confession lands: after the divorce, Richard just stopped showing up. Cole waited six months to hear it, and the woman who pried it loose is the one he can't stop wanting. Richard leaves for a two-minute call. "God, I want you. Right now." Riley unbuttons her blazer and sets the terms: "Session rules, Mr. Ross. You don't touch." She climbs onto his lap, the handle turns, and Richard asks through a locked door if everything's okay. Her answer? Just a breathing exercise.
