Claire's Office: She's tapping her fingers on her desk as her assistant Josie types away. Claire's waiting for Trevor to walk her home. She rationalizes that she's doing this to get to the root of Trevor's problems and figure out what caused his break with reality, and if it takes walking 15 blocks a night to do that, she's up for it. "Yes, it's a little unorthodox, but I'm a little unorthodox." Josie says, "Since when?" In one sense, I agree, but back in the pilot, she was characterized as a psychiatrist who doesn't believe in psychiatry. Maybe the writers just need to make up their mind about her. I think Claire agrees because she scowls, or smiles, or twitches or something, and we cut to...
Paula's Lobby: Charlie and Trevor are still watching the Knicks game and drinking. As Trevor puts on his coat, he tells Charlie to keep the elevator stuck for another half hour. When he gets to the door, he sees that Charlie's terribly engrossed in something, but the game is over. He's watching Paula and Tommy make out. Trevor walks back to the desk, shuts off the security monitor and says, "Dirty." I say "Creepy."
Claire's: Trevor complains about what it was like to have Venus as a mother. Citing all the nude artwork of her, he says, "She'd take her clothes off at the drop of a hat. Do you know how embarrassing that is for a kid? She may be the goddess of chastity, but that doesn't mean there wasn't a steady parade of 'uncles' coming through the place -- sometimes more than one at a time." Claire reminds him that our parents' relationships influence our own. Trevor agrees and then starts talking about orgies (on account of being a Greco-Roman god). This is to show us that Trevor is passionate and Claire is frigid. Blah blah blah STD cakes. Oh no, he didn't! Rob just had Trevor say, "Epic." That's not right, Rob. [Yes. That word should be off limit from his vocabulary going forth. -- AC] Not in that context. For shame. I'm not transcribing it. It was about a "key party" Dionysus once held. Meh. Pixie dust.
