Being Erica - Season 4 Episode 7

Despite still feeling the emotional pain of the situation, Erica is trying to move on with her life after Adam breaking up with her. She is trying to make herself feel better by wearing pretty but somewhat provocative clothes. Her friends believe her outward appearance matches how she is feeling inside. Coincidentally, she runs into Ethan, who is also a recent dumpee, this time by yet another strong, risk taking woman, much in the same vein of Claire and Erica herself. Erica sees that Ethan is always falling for the wrong type of woman, one who wants different things in life than he does. Erica believes that Ethan needs a female version of himself – sweet, quiet and socially conservative, someone exactly like a friend of hers from graduate school. So Dr. Tom sends Erica back to her graduate school days to play matchmaker for Ethan. This experience shows Erica what Ethan really needs in his current life. Meanwhile, Brent and Julianne have to decide how best to move on from their innocent or not so innocent kiss. And Dr. Tom wants Erica to discuss how she is really feeling about her break-up with Adam, which she doesn't want to do.
