I'm glad to see you.
After last week..
well, I wasn't sure if you'd be back.
Honestly..
I wasn't planning on it.
What changed your mind?
Made a big mistake
You'll be so happy.
We actually have something new to talk about.
Well that depends on what it is.
What's wrong?
After last session I was..
really mad at you.
I stayed mad for a long time.
Went to bed mad, woke up mad..
It isn't always the primary emotion but..
it was there, underneath..
I'm sorry that our discussion last week upset you
It wasn't even about you.
I mean..
it was a bit.
But it was like...
I couldn't breathe.
Made me feel like I used to
with my dad when I was a kid. I just wanted to..
lash out.
We spoke at length..
about the issues with your father, leading up to your diagnosis.
We also talked about how what happened to you..
wasn't your fault.
Maybe not.
This is.
I slept with Linc.
Your 'activist' friend?
Ugh..
Don't bullshit me Michelle,
He's one of your patients.
Ok, yes.
But I'm rather concerned that you know that.
He gave me one of your college essays.
I don't know what kind of game you're playing,
but just be careful.
He's been through a lot.
You both have.
You knew it was me..
didn't you?
You knew it was me all along.
You've been feeding him all this bullshit about love conquers all, knowing that I'm going to break his heart?
Wow.
Really underestimated you, Michelle.
You really are the worst person I've ever met.
Clara..
What? Would you at least have the decency to tell him about my plans?
Or were you just gonna pretend you weren't involved?
Ok. We are not discussing me
or one of my other patients
Don't be a coward.
Cards on the table. Now.
Ok. Yes, I knew.
And he is..
He's deeply in love with you.
There.
Was that so hard?
Actually ya, it was.
After 20 years of practice I have never broken patient confidentiality.
Ugh, now you're playing the moral high ground.
10 minutes ago, you were just using him as bate for another failed gambit to convince me...
It wasn't your life I was trying to save.
What?
Since you two have met, he's..
Well..
Last session,
he mentioned this concert in 3 months that he might buy tickets for.
Why is that weird?
Because until then..
he's never talked about a future more than a week ahead.
You realize what you're asking me?
No, I'm not asking anything...
You know exactly what you're doing.
Don't you?
This is emotional bullying. It's extortion and..
you're right.
Oh god..
I can't do this to him.
You're asking me to choose my life or his!
A future where you'll both live? That doesn't sound so bad to me...
Ya 'cause you're a fucking sociopath and you can't stop messing with people's lives!
I guess you're happy now.
Congratulations, Michelle. You win.
