Scottie arrives at Sanders Martin’s office with Wilder, immediately second-guessing the plan and feeling flustered by Wilder’s unexpected attractiveness. The reception area is serene, but Sanders’s office is cluttered with sports memorabilia, setting an offbeat tone. Sanders enters dressed casually and quickly bonds with Wilder over basketball, while Scottie worries that Wilder’s charm will bias the session.

When asked about playing games together, Wilder leads the conversation into sexual territory, claiming their adventurous sex life has declined. He asserts Scottie does not want children, contradicting their cover story, and cites a supposed incident in Montauk. Scottie tries to redirect, but Wilder spins an elaborate tale about a birthday trip, a reservation mix-up tied to an “ex-friend,” and a graphic sleeping-bag zipper injury, dubbing Scottie the “Serial Zipper.”

Scottie pushes back, saying she wants children but wasn’t ready yet, and counters Wilder’s story by highlighting his insensitive “Serial Zipper” T-shirt gift. Their sparring escalates into a rapid-fire exchange of domestic grievances about chores, habits, and broken viewing promises, until Sanders literally inserts a hockey stick to separate them and says this is the breakthrough he was waiting for.

Scottie attempts to end the session by admitting to Sanders that she asked Wilder to make it seem like they were okay, and she says both are unhappy and should move on. Sanders rejects that conclusion, insisting he senses a charged spark between them and proposes a plan to reignite their connection.

Sanders offers an upcoming eight-day marriage camp in the Catskills for select couples, emphasizing activities and bonding rather than couch sessions. Scottie tries to decline by citing limited vacation days, but Sanders says Ellison always approves time off for his camp. Before Scottie can refuse, Wilder eagerly accepts on their behalf.

The session ends with Wilder celebrating the commitment by catching Sanders’s tossed football and theatrically spiking it, while Scottie seethes, realizing she is now committed to an intensive camp with her fake husband to maintain her workplace lie.
