Episode 503

S5 E3: Matt is back on top. He’s leveraged his newfound celebrity to get a guaranteed new series from the network. He tries taking pitches from various writers, but ends up convinced that his best chance for success is to do another show with Sean and Beverly. The Brits are reluctant to abandon “The Opposite of Us”, even though they’re still miserable working for Tim. So Matt continues to woo them. A large stuffed gorilla is involved. Meanwhile, the fallout from Matt’s tryst with the girl from “The Box” isn’t over. He gets a call from his ex-wife Diane. It seems his two young sons have seen the sex tape on line. Diane insists that Matt talk about it with his boys. It quickly becomes clear that father-son chats are not Matt’s strength. Beverly convinces Carol to finally leave her house. After weeks curled up on the sofa, nursing her depression, watching real estate shows, Carol ventures outside. Unfortunately, a simple trip to the donut shop ends up being more traumatizing than she ever could have imagined. Carol is convinced her life is over. However, a misdialed phone call leads to a life-changing evening.
