Private Notes
In therapy, Chelsea makes a stunning revelation in saying that she's had ten prior ""soul mates"" out of roughly 200 past sex partners. James is completely floored by the number of notches on his new bride's bedpost, but still promises to make an effort in being supportive and decides accompany her to an art gallery celebration.
At the gallery, his insecurities drive him to quiz everyone on their past sexual exploits until he and Chelsea get into a shouting match that gets them kicked out of the party. Oddly, this turns out to be a bonding experience, at least until Chelsea adds to the drama by revealing that she was married to someone before James as well.
Meanwhile, we learn more of story of Connie and Bill. When Bill lost his job, he also lost Connie's respect and adoration. Ever since then, they've been bickering and romance or any kind of intimacy has been out of the question. When her sister Ginny volunteers to help Bill to get his act togther, Connie is both anxious and grateful f
Bill begins to feel guilty in having an affair with Connie's sister, Ginny, but on the flip side, it has certainly improved his self esteem. Over coffee, he confides in his two friends, Doug and Dave. They advise him, against the guilt he is feeling, to keep sleeping with Ginny in order to give his pals time to ""help him figure it out"", which he does.
On the other hand, Connie herself is having flirtatious encounters of her own with her coworker, Rick. But just how far will the two of them go?
Meanwhile, Jack, Eleanor's dad, is paying the couple an extended visit, and he immediately begins cramping Ethan's style; especially when he walks in while they're having sex in an effort to start a discussion on (of all things) international terrorism. Ethan's frustration grows even further when a somewhat intoxicated Jack pees on Ethan's shoes in a restaurant bathroom.
All is forgotten, even if not forgiven, when Ethan learns that Jack left Eleanor a $2000 check.
Next, we learn that Chelsea is
In this episode, we learn that Eleanor's pregnancy has dramatically increased her sex drive, but the idea of a threesome with a pregnant Eleanor is killing Ethan's. He seeks advice from his older brother Seth, who offers a strange, but somehow successful, pep talk.
Thanks to Ethan's renewed efforts, Eleanor is getting some relief, but is appaled to learn that Ethan's family now knows the intimate details of their sex life.
Chelsea, on the other hand, questions James' sometimes confrontational and always controlling behavior. While attending a party at his office, she strikes up conversations with his boss and several of his other coworkers, letting slip certain private (and rather embarrassing) details about James.
In therapy, however, Chelsea apologizes for giving away too much at the party, while James admits there are secrets that he'd prefer to keep from his colleagues, and his wife.
Meanwhile, Ginny pressures Bill to reveal his affair to Connie and end their marriage. She also goe
While jogging with Ginny, Connie confesses her ""affair"" with her co-worker Rick, convinced that her mother's deathbed ""cheaters"" accusation was directed at her.
At Rose's funeral, Bill receives a phone call with an exciting job offer, which only serves to annoy his wife and the other mourners. Ginny reveals Connie's infatuation with Rick as well as her affair with Bill, scandalizing everyone.
Meanwhile, James grows dishearted when Chelsea's snowboarding ex-husband Breck pays them an extended (and unexpected) visit. Naturally, his spaced out attitude and exhibitionism make an awkward situation even harder to cope with.
When their post-dinner conversation turns to Breck's new girlfriend, Blue, it's Chelsea's turn to act defensive and uncomfortable. After hitting the breaking point and stomping off, the two men are left ironically bonding over what both consider to be her controlling nature.
Finally, Eleanor announces her suspicion that Ethan's brother Seth is secretly gay. Joining Seth a
On this episode, Alex and Devon notice their son Rodney playing ""argument"" with his action figures. Worrying that they spend too much time causing a scene in front of him, they decide to seek therapy.
Later, attending Parents Nigt at Rodney's school, they encounter a number of eccentric, over-bearing parents and teachers. Devon, uncomfortable with the rathy touchy-feely atmosphere, makes a comment that offends gay parent Ian who, by all accounts, makes him wish he never made the comment in the first place.
On the flip side, Ethan and Eleanor expecting a baby has consumed their lives so much that they fear they've become a boring, uninteresting, and lifeless couple.
Arriving at a party, they agree not to mention Eleanor's ""condition"". Realizing the two have little else to talk about, Ethan discloses that they're expecting. Now, the couple becomes the center of attention.
In therapy, James announces to Chelsea that they're going to New York in the upcoming weekend which, unfortunately,
On the season finale of Significant Others, James, alone in New York, makes repeated attempts to call Chelsea in the hopes of making up. Chelsea, refusing to pick up the phone, sets her sights on cutting loose at her friend's wedding.
By speaker phone, James has a breakthrough in therapy. When he unexpectedly shows up at the wedding, Chelsea is touched and charmed that he would break all of his plans and come home just for her. The excitement quickly fades the next morning, however, when she learns his meeting was cancelled anyway.
Alex and Devon, meanwhile, fear that Rodney may be growing too attached to Carlotta, their Mexican maid. Determined to spend more time with their son, they plan a family vacation.
The family piles into the car for a road trip to a lakeside campsite. Along the way, they argue, they make up, they joke together, and, ultimately, they admit that they miss Carlotta.
