Re: The shrink
Yeah Brian is really trying everything he can in this ep. He stays away when Jen asks, and when she asks for help he tries sex, and that doesn't work, so he goes to the shrink, who tells him to recreate some of what are now Brian's most painful memories, and he does that too...Brian definitely deserves credit here, ia. He would do anything to help Justin get better.
Brian would have a shrink trick. I guess sleeping with all of gay Pittsburgh is actually pretty good for networking.
