Being Erica

Previously on "Being Erica":

I wanted to stop being so controlling.

And so you did the most controlling thing

you've ever done.

You took away my free will.

Uh, so this is my friend, Amanda.

Hi. - Hello. Sorry.

You must keep this, what we do, secret.

And if I can't?

Then we need to have a bigger conversation.

Erica is my business partner and...

And I'm sleeping with one of our two employees,

so it's just not gonna go over well.

Did you just have a session?

I hate that guy-- Dr. Fred.

You're Kai's doctor?

Yes, and I brought you here

because I need to talk to you about him.

Erica and Adam broke up, it happens all the time.

Erica and Adam broke up?

I'm back on a regret.

Redoing album number two-- it might take a while.

I hear that Jasper is stunning.

Come with us.

But when would we go?

Go right after Dave and Ivan's wedding.

I say... a big yes!

Yeah!

See? What a difference it makes, huh?

We raise the hem,

nip it in at the waist, and...

Gorgeous!

Thank you, Brenda. I just, I love it!

Look at you, huh?

No potato latkes on these hips.

I think the bride just might get upstaged today.

Oh, no bride. Gay wedding.

Ah.

Well, love is a many splendored thing,

and I say the more people getting married,

the better.

- Right? - Mm-hm.

You know, I may never take this off.

Never say never.

Isn't that gown something?

You know what colour that is?

Um... white?

Did you just say white?!

What do you think this is? A shmatte?

No. It's cosmic latte.

Oh! Right.

Wanna try it on?

No! No.

Come on, you love this dress.

No, Brenda, really.

I have to be at the Gardiner Museum soon,

and my date, he's coming to pick me up.

It'll take two seconds.

Isn't it bad luck or something?

Enough with the talking.

Get back there, get back there. Go.

I'm going! I'm going!

Look at you.

A vision in cosmic latte.

You look like a princess.

Alice in wonderland fell down the rabbit hole

and her dreams became reality.

Have you ever wondered what that would be like

to wake up in a fantasy?

Oh! And here comes your prince!

Kai, hey.

Erica, wow, you look beautiful.

Maybe a bit overdressed for today.

It was...

It was just for fun and...

Okay, you know what?

I wanna put you two in my front window.

Okay.

Brenda...

We spend our lives

trying to turn the fantasy into reality.

And who's to say we're wrong

for wanting our days to glitter and shine,

for wanting our lives to feel like a dream that never ends.

Being Erica 04x09 "Erica's adventures in Wonderland" Original air date: November 28, 2011.

So are you freaking out?

Because I'm performing at a wedding?

No.

Future rock star over here, remember?

Oh, right. How could I forget?

I don't know what I'd do without you, Erica.

Come on.

So we have two new candidates.

The first is Alan Zielonko.

He's artistic, rebellious, and guarded.

He dreams big, but lacks courage.

Okay.

The other one?

Vasgan Seferian is a recent immigrant from Armenia.

Discovered life in the West

isn't all it's cracked up to be.

She has issues with addiction and overdosed recently.

So which patient would you like?

Or would you like both?

Uh...

I think I should wait till the next round.

The next round?

Yeah. You know, until more...

Other candidates present themselves.

Why?

I don't know why. I just...

I just don't feel... drawn to either case.

I picked these people for you.

Alan has clear parallels with your daughter Sarah

and vasgan's struggles with addiction

- mirror your own. - I know.

But, uh, still, I'd prefer to wait.

Okay.

Tom?

I've never known you to turn down patients.

Next round.

Thank you.

Well, double-check the list of allergens.

No nuts.

Of course no coconuts.

We're going locavore.

Where have you seen a palm tree in Ontario?

Caterers!

If I had the time, I would be the one cooking

and serving up dinner for a 124 healthy appetites.

Okay, you're doing enough as it is.

Totally. This place is amazing.

Oh, well, just wait 'til you see

the bird's nest ring pillows.

And we have potted eco-unique tree centrepieces

complete with matching table numbers--

Moss embossed--

And we have birch coasters with conversation topics

carved in the surface

for our more "socially challenged" guests.

And, finally, a big how-do-you-do

to my personal favoo!

See? It's how everyone knows what table they're at.

Oh!

Jules is Canada's Gwyneth Paltrow.

She's got all the goop.

There's my best man.

Looking sharp!

Hi.

You too, Erica. As always.

Thanks. Ivan!

Congratulations!

Muah! Muah!

Look at this place.

Julianne did it all.

Her centerpieces are beyond.

Beyond is right.

They're a bit large, no?

Well, everyone's entitled to their opinion.

Come on, Benny,

let's not rain on the mother nature theme.

Iv, let's do a quick ceremony run-through.

With the best men, yes.

Gentlemen, shall we skedaddle?

Large? They are not too large.

He should talk about large. He's too large.

Julianne...

He's not right, is he?

I wouldn't worry.

Most of Dave and Ivan's friends look like lumberjacks.

Maybe one'll bring an ax.

Hey, I'm dialling 9-1-1 here,

and you, Mr. know-it-all, are yukking it up

at the expense of your girlfrie-f-Friday.

Yeah.

Yeah, 'cause Ray-Ray, our trusty assistant,

helped with these.

So consider your girl Friday's feelings.

Right. My bad.

Sorry, Jules.

Excuse me, can I use your pen?

'Course.

It's Dave and Evan?

It's Ivan. Ivan.

You must be a plus one?

Crasher, actually.

I heard something about cake.

Oh, right.

Nicole. Hi.

Hi, Nicole. I'm Erica.

How do you know the couple?

We're good friends,

and I'm a regular at Goblins.

Oh, I know Goblins.

Mean lattes.

Sometimes I detour there

even though it's nowhere near my work.

Oh, see, I rent an office in the same building

to avoid that problem.

Smart.
