Twisted (Psycho Ex-Girlfriend) (Twisted)

Hello?

It's my job to help you get through this, OK?

- I know! - OK?

Whoa! Ha! Someone took a cheap shot.

You must be Isabelle. Come on in.

I'm not sure what I wanna do.

Find a job I guess,

'cause I'll go crazy if I stay at my dad's for very long.

You'd like him.

He's a real control freak, has tons of demons.

I only have a few.

What about your mom?

My mom walked out on us. But don't worry.

My demons have nothing to do with her,

if that's what you're thinking.

What I was thinking was that getting a job

might be a great first step.

It'll give you some independence.

You could meet new people.

This church is actually a great place to make new friends.

Yeah, I... I don't need to make new friends.

I just wanna get away from my dad

so I can stop pretending.

Plus I kind of like the friends I had.

Pretending? How?

That I'm a good girl.

The woman before me, how long she been coming here?

I can't discuss other clients.

I wanted to know because, if it's been awhile, well...

if you can't help her,

how the hell are you gonna help me?

Well, that's our time for today.

You know, despite your reservations,

I do hope you come back next week.

We'll see!

The end of another day at the office?

You make it sound like work.

Ah! A woman who loves her calling!

Mm-hmm! I just hope that this is my calling

and not my waitressing job.

Well, from what I can tell,

you've worked wonders in the 2 months you've been with us,

so have faith.

You know what?

You should personalize that office a little,

make it your own.

OK.

I'll do that, Father. Thank you!

[Dog barking in distance

Tyler?

Hey, babe! - Hey!

Have a good run?

Just did my first 10K.

- That's awesome! - Yeah.

You know, for somebody who always said he didn't like cats,

you sure do show him a lot of affection.

Yeah, well, I just like him 'cause he's yours.

- Yeah, right! - Come on.

- Hey, here! - Oh, thanks.

- Tyler? - Yeah?

Something wrong?

I just got a text from Elle.

Elle? Really?

Yeah, she's back in the city.

You gonna respond?

You're the therapist. What do you think?

She's your ex-girlfriend, Tyler,

and I am also human, so what do you think I'm gonna say?

Plus, from everything that you've told me,

she seems like she was really toxic for you.

Yeah. No, you're right. I'm gonna ignore it.

See? You always know what to do.

I'm gonna take a shower.

Hmm!

Thank you for making a concession on my behalf.

Well, we like to keep our doors open.

And besides, Kara makes up for it in spades.

Oh! Thank you, Father.

And we will set a date very soon.

I will let you know. - Fine!

Nice meeting you, Tyler.

Who knows? Maybe we'll see you on a Sunday sometime?

Yeah, stranger things have happened.

This is true.

OK! Bye, Father.

Ah! That went well!

I'll say! I didn't burn when I walked in here like I thought.

Ha! Stop it! Seriously, thank you.

'Cause I know you're doing this just for me.

Yeah, well, maybe getting married in a church

will absolve me of all my sins.

No guarantees. - Hey!

Can I start you off with anything?

A scotch. Neat.

In a clean glass.

Oh, of course.

Can I get a Glenfarley neat and a clean glass of water?

Kara! When Tyler finishes socializing,

tell him I need to go over some paperwork.

Of course!

Thank you.

Chief, this is my fiancée, Kara.

We were introduced!

Oh, here's your scotch and clean glass of water.

Sorry about that.

So, how'd you two meet?

I stole her.

Tyler saved me from a date that was going very badly.

Tyler always did play the hero.

Hey, Elle! I was just catching up with your dad.

I can see that.

Did you know Tyler is managing the restaurant?

I had no idea!

He's obviously made a lot of changes while I was gone.

Elle, this is Kara.

His fiancée.

Nice to meet you, Kara.

And you! Um, can I get you anything?

Straight bourbon.

Sorry. Rehab humour.

Isabelle's done remarkably well.

She's working hard on getting back on her feet.

Well, you know, getting a job is

a great first step in my recovery.

Tyler, are you hiring?

We both worked together before. We know the dance.

Sorry, but we're actually fully staffed at the moment.

Probably not a good idea anyway.

Oh, before I forget, uh, Frank said he wants to talk to you.

Ah! Well, sounds like the boss wants me to get back to work.

But enjoy. - Hmm!

So, um, go ahead and take a look at the menu,

and I'll be back to take your order in a minute.

Good night.

- Have a good night. - Bye!

Do you think she knew who I was

when she came in for counselling?

How would she? I mean, you didn't know who she was.

Yeah, but that's 'cause

you always called her Elle, not Isabelle.

Why is that?

She hates "Isabelle" 'cause it's her mom's middle name,

so I started calling her Elle.

So much for not having mommy issues.

You don't have to keep treating her, Kara.

No. Why wouldn't I help her? 'Cause she's your ex?

Don't worry. I can be unbiased.

And besides, it can't be easy

having the Chief of Police as your dad.

Oof! Are you kidding? She's lucky!

He's covered her ass more times than I can count.

Admit it, you've got a big heart,

which is why you'll keep treating her,

and which is exactly why I love you.

You love me 'cause I'm gonna take the trash out.

- That's a bonus. - Mm-hmm. I know.

It's too bad this one's broken.

I'm glad you kept your appointment.

I'm surprised you didn't cancel.

Why would I do that?

Because you were uncomfortable the other night.

I was trying to respect your privacy.

- So, do you fish? - No.

Why, your parents never took you?

- This is your time, not mine. - Guess they didn't.

Why don't you have a seat? We'll get started.

I miss the certainty of it.

I mean, there's no question.

When you take those pills...

you're gonna feel awesome.

It was like I was in this perfect bubble

of just me, Tyler and the high.

The only thing better was the sex.

It was so good, I didn't even need the drugs to get off.

I mean, Tyler and I, we'd spend days

and never leave the bedroom.

And if we did, we couldn't wait.

We'd do it everywhere

and anywhere.

Come to think of it,

I'm not sure what I was addicted to more.

The drugs or the sex?

Uh, the drugs...

would've made it seem almost, uh, surreal.

And...

it's normal to romanticize about how good things were.

Wow!

You've really haven't experienced

what Tyler and I had, have you?

'Cause, trust me, it was very real.

Hey, Frank, you want me to lock the door on my way out?

No, I'll get it in a few. Cheers!

Sorry, but we're closed.

I know!

I just thought this might be a good time to talk...

about a job.

If you're hiring, that is.

Welcome, and thank you all for being here today.

I'd like to start off today's sermon

with, uh, with something from Psalm 139.
