That'll be 8 bucks.

I am all about the romance.

- Morning, Carly.

- Your 9:
00 is here.

You're a little early, Wendy.

It's my husband.

Wendy, did something happen?

Did your husband hurt you again?

How long have I been coming here?

Four years.

And I've had a cup of tea

almost every time, haven't I?

Yeah, I suppose you have.

But I can't do it.

I can't even drink this.

That's how bad it's gotten.

I wanna help you,

but you have to talk to me.

This is gonna sound so stupid,

or crazy, or both.

No, I've told you before. Nothing you say

in this office is stupid or crazy.

All of it's important. All of it matters.

My husband is not my husband.

And what makes you say that?

The way he acts.

The way he looks at me.

He keeps bringing me things to drink.

I don't want them,

but he keeps bringing them.

I yelled at him last night.

He didn't yell back.

I threw my glass at him

and he didn't do anything.

I know you and your husband

have a volatile relationship.

I did, but not anymore.

Yes, when he would get mad,

I would be afraid of him.

But at least when he kissed me,

I knew he loved me.

Now when he kisses me...

What is it?

He's just different.

I know it. Bobo knew it too.

Bobo, your dog?

The other night, when Richard got

home from work and he walked in...

...Bobo, he just went crazy.

He started snapping

and growling at Richard.

I mean, we tried to put him outside,

but he attacked.

Dr. Bennell, that dog has never

attacked anyone in its life.

And what happened?

Richard...

...grabbed the dog's neck...

...and Bobo just started whimpering.

I tried to stop him,

but he wouldn't let go.

And then, I could tell. Bobo, he...

...he didn't understand what was

happening. He was so scared.

And then there was this snap...

...and Bobo was dead.

Richard didn't say anything.

He didn't cry.

He just picked Bobo up...

...and took him out to the garbage.

I wanna see you again

as soon as possible.

I'm gonna change your medication. I want

you to take these morning and night...

...twice a day. Okay?

And if your husband does anything like this

again, anything that frightens you at all...

...I want you to call my service immediately.

Can you promise you'll do that?

Yes. Thank you, doctor.

That should work.

Now, we should probably

talk about tomorrow.

Are you nervous?

Why would I be nervous?

Because we've never

been apart like this, Ollie.

And you haven't seen much

of your dad in a long time.

I'm okay, Mom. It's gonna be fun.

But I'm gonna miss you.

Yeah, you better.

We can text each other all the time.

You're right, I'm being silly. You go pack.

We're gonna meet the Welches

in about half an hour.
