In the fifth episode of the series, Clyburn, a grieving widow who moved from New York to Montana, questions the therapist’s approach. Arnett’s character, Phil Yorn, challenges Clyburn’s reluctance to trust his interpretation of her emotions.

The final three episodes of the series will debut on Paramount+ on March 21. Pfeiffer’s portrayal of Clyburn, a character defined by her grief and determination, has been central to the show’s emotional core.
