Delightful
Joanna is visiting with a recently divorced friend. She is so happy she is divorced because her marriage had become stagnant. Meanwhile, Dick sits nearby saying nothing, bored. Of course, this plants a seed in Joanna's brain, making her wonder if her marriage has lost any spark. Dick knows what's coming and tries hard to avoid it, but soon they are seeing a counselor. It's the same one that Stephanie and Michael had seen, the one who gave up on them and told them to break up. They have a group session where the aforementioned couple shows up. As they are entering, who should show up but the caustic Mr. Carlin, Jack Riley from the Bob Newhart show. The counselor tells Dick and Joanna that she has been getting this guy straightened out since some quack in Chicago got him all messed up. A great few seconds. This is a hilarious episode.
