Summary - Episode 204 Office Management
by Liz

Begins as Ben is on the phone with Laura. Laura is explaining why sheís not coming in to work that day. Katz considers letting Ben fill in for her but after some consideration, much to Benís disappointment, he decides it would be easier to do it himself. Ben calls his dad with thoughts as to why Laura might be unhappy with her employer. Katz denies that there is any problem and that if there were, it would be hers.

Ray comes back after missing a few sessions, explaining that he was on the road. He expresses his fondness for the city of Las Vegas. He tries to get the Dr. to sympathize with him for having two-year old twins. He talks about how his kids can get away with more than he or his father could, without being called crazy.

Carol shares her feelings of hatred towards thin women, especially those that appear in aerobics videos. She talks about an ex-husband, an ex-boyfriend and her fear that sheíll forget how to have sex. She complains about Lauraís attitude and the old magazines in the waiting room. She expresses he views on naked men.

At the bar, Stanley gives Jonathan some tips on changing the work atmosphere. Katz has his own idea- to promote Laura to administrative assistant. He tells her that theyíre relationship is going to be more open and that heís planning a staff Christmas party. Meanwhile, Katz still refuses to admit to Ben that there was ever a need for him to change anything.

Laura shows up at the party to find both Katz and the office completely decorated. She soon "has to go" but thanks the doctor for the sweet gesture. Ben stops by soon after and they discuss how Laura isnít as effusive as they are. Ben satisfies his dadís craving for singing Christmas carols.
