Sophie -- Week Two

TV-MA | 29 MIN

Directed by: Rodrigo Garcia
Teleplay by: Sarah Treem

A sopping wet Sophie arrives for her session, and Paul asks his wife help her change out of her wet clothes. When Sophie gets mad that Paul hasn't written his evaluation yet, he counters: "Why haven't you written yours?" She explains she can't write with two broken arms and she got into a fight with her mother and Si was too busy to help her. They discuss how Sophie used to babysit Si's daughter, and it becomes apparent that she is perhaps too close to her coach. Paul catches her off guard when he tells her that he suspects someone in her life has broken the rules, which is why he got his wife to help her change – so that he wouldn't break the rules as well. He felt she was testing him.
