Emily: Hey, you guys, I ran into Dad. He said you brought Michael in.
Jason: Yeah.
Sam: Yeah, he's seeing a therapist -- Dr. Thomas. I don't know if you know him.
Michael: I hate Dr. Thomas. Please, Jason, don't let me go back there.
Jason: Why did you run out of Dr. Thomas' office? Did he scare you? Did he hurt your feelings?
Michael: Why did you make me go to him?
Jason: Because, you know, I think he might be able to help you.
Michael: Did he help you?
Emily: Michael, why don't we go to the park for a while, maybe get an ice cream?
Michael: I just want to get out of here.
Emily: Okay. We'll be back.
Sam: So what now?
Jason: I don't know. I'm the only one that Michael can depend on, and I've already let him down.
Michael: I told that stupid doctor not to ask me about A.J.
Emily: But he kept asking?
Michael: I don't even want to think about A.J.
Emily: Yeah. I know how you feel. You know, somebody hurt me once, a very bad person.
Michael: What did he do?
Emily: Well, let's just say it was awful. I had bad dreams almost every night.
Michael: Me, too.
Emily: Yeah, I'm seeing a psychiatrist, you know.
Michael: You are?
Emily: Mm-hmm. It was terrible at first, but I felt a lot better once I started talking about what happened. You know, once you get the bad things out in the open, they don't hurt so much. You know, you aren't so scared and the bad dreams, they go away.
Jason: Maybe we should find another doctor.
Sam: He's supposed to be really good.
Jason: Well, then why was Michael so upset? Why'd he run out of Dr. Thomas' office?
Sam: Look, I think that's the whole point of therapy. You talk about painful things, and God knows Michael has plenty of it.
Jason: Yeah, well, you know what, maybe Michael can just talk to me from now on.
Sam: Hey, no, that's not fair.
Jason: What?
Sam: It's not fair to project what happened to you --
Jason: Hey, buddy. What's up?
Sam: Hey, you feeling any better?
Michael: Emily explained everything.
Emily: I told Michael that therapy hurts at first, but it gets better.
Michael: Will my nightmares go away if I go back to Dr. Thomas?
Emily: My nightmares have started to go away since I've been in therapy, and I think yours will, too.
Michael: I'll give it another try.
