In the Name of Love
Season 3 | Episode 22 | Aired 05/6/10
Claire, one of Violet’s patients with anger issues, is back. Her husband believes there may be something wrong because she’s been so happy and they’re having lots of sex. That’s not typical for their marriage. Amelia determines that Claire has a tumor that’s stimulating her feelings of bliss. It needs to be removed. Claire says she’d rather die than go back to being as unhappy as she was.

Amelia tries to convince Claire to have the operation. She gives a passionate speech that’s well-received. Claire agrees to the surgery. But her husband doesn’t know if he has it in him to love the old Claire if she returns, which she does. Violet will try to help her get back the happiness that was always inside her.
