S07E14 No Script To Go By
Episode Overview
Irene has been behaving oddly, and she finally reveals the truth: she’s unwell. The headaches she's experiencing are hindering her ability to work on the radio commercials. Misunderstandings arise between her and Janet, while Lindsay suspects there’s more to Irene’s past than they realize. As Irene’s condition worsens, she breaks down during an interview, expressing her frustration: "I don’t want to deal with this right now, or talk about it." Concerned for her, Stephen stays on the couch overnight to support her. Although production on the R.E.I. commercials continues, they face various creative and technical issues. Stephen inadvertently neglects to send the script to Kelsey, the R.E.I. contact, leading to his reprimand. Back at home, Irene cleans obsessively, prompting Janet to think it’s her way of seeking stability.
