Claire's Office: She greets her patient. "Hello, Mr...?" He says, "It's Cupid." So she tells him they have all night. He looks around the office and says, "It appears I'm free, too." And then there's a really gratuitous shot of Sarah Paulson running her hand over her derrière, in case we were too dead inside to pick up during the previous four minutes that she's sexy.
