Web Therapy

- Season 4

(2011)

Fiona gets an earful from her publisher's chief of staff, Maxine DeMaine, who has a very low opinion of Fiona's writing skills - and her moral character.

Behind Fiona's back, Jerome flies up to New York to meet with Maxine to fix her book, but doesn't get the thanks he expects.

Baffled by the modest trickle of gifts from Austen, Fiona decides to take her affection - and book - elsewhere.

Fiona is outfoxed by the calculating Maxine, but the book is back where it belongs - and so is Austen.

Conan O'Brien contacts Fiona for help with unexpressed anger... but manages to express plenty when she fails to recognize him.

Conan reaches across the country to help Fiona with a problem with her neighbor -- and expects a favor in return.

After his revenge plan backfires, Conan learns that when it comes to Fiona, feelings should be swallowed, not expressed.

Fiona gets her first international client when Gemma Pankhurst-Jones (NATASHA BEDINGFIELD) calls from Buckingham Palace, where she works as a "proxy" for the royal family. When she says her recent marriage remains unconsummated, Fiona concludes this is therapy by proxy -- and the new royal marriage is in trouble!

Fiona's conjugal advice is unsuccessful, and Gemma says she's running out of time -- she's pregnant, and her husband is bound to know he can't be the father. Can Fiona save the British empire?

The London tabloids are full of a royal scandal that mysteriously echoes Gemma's situation, and Gemma finally realizes that Fiona's therapy is all talk -- mostly to the press.

Fiona thinks she's been discovered by Hollywood when newly sober reality star Allegra Favreau calls to option Fiona's memoir for a Lifetime television movie.

Allegra Favreau does character research on Fiona, grilling her on some embarrassing details left out of her memoir, and Fiona offers up an acting critique of Allegra's past work before they agree to continue the work face-to-face in L.A.

Jerome surprises Fiona with an unwelcome traveling companion for her trip to Los Angeles.

Fiona and Allegra conduct a postmortem on the disastrous trip to Los Angeles, and Allegra, now a Hollywood pariah based on some unfortunate camera phone footage, prepares for a long stretch on the casting couch.

Fiona's mother, Putsy Hodge, wants to be declared legally insane, and Fiona, once she finds out why, instantly agrees.

After her roommate's unfortunate death, Putsy Hodge prepares for life in the Big House, while Fiona begs her to lawyer up and take the Fifth.

Fiona is pleased to discover that Putsy has been cleared of all charges, but horrified when she discovers that Putsy has a new career - and, worse, a new career advisor.
