(And this time, viewers could actually see Dr. Leigh, played by…Pamela Adlon!)

Meanwhile, Kevin (Justin Hartley) a.k.a.

That is, until she received the surprisingly wise words of not-always-wise best friend Madison (Caitlin Thompson).

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Randall has finally agreed to enter therapy.

At the end of the episode, he returns to therapy.

Now comes the hard work.

Will he go from undersharing to oversharing while still keeping up the micromanaging?

It launches one of our more out-there-conceptually episodes that weve ever done on the show.

A lot of the fun in casting would be picking the person who should serve as Randalls therapist.

We were like, What if we could attempt to get Pam Adlon?

She makes that show [Better Things] singlehandedly.

Then we reached out to CAA [her talent agency] and they put us in touch with her.

It was shockingly easy given how busy and famous she is.

She was just like, You mean, I dont have to memorize my lines?

When she returns, youll get to see what she can do and this woman is incredible with Sterling.

So its really just a very exciting combination, the two of them.

She empties out her purse, which contains medication.

She explains that she didnt want to lean on him because she didnt want to break him.

How should we prioritize our concern for her in relation to Randall?

I believe, if Im not mistaken, she still owns the actual house.

So we had to find a very similar looking house in the Laurel Canyon area.

But it definitely captures the vibe and essence of Jonis real house.

And that story is also, to the best of our knowledge, true.

Hes become pretty responsible guy in a lot of ways.

Toby and Kate seem to have gotten over this hurdle for now, at least.

Can you assure viewers that theyre out of the woods for now?APTAKER:Yes.

Kate is now the only one we havent seen in the distant future.

There are only three episodes to go before the end of the season.

[Laughs] But it came out incredibly special and was totally worth it.
