Short Cuts
Season 4 | Episode 2 | Aired 09/30/10
Pete and Charlotte are upset with their significant others. Cooper and Violet are spending a lot of time together, on the phone and face-to-face. No one is saying they can’t continue their special friendship, but do they have to spend SOOOO much time together? It’s a huge source of tension that gets amplified when Cooper walks in on Pete and Violet having sex on the sofa. He could have knocked!

Charlotte asks Sheldon to assess the mental stability of Jane, a patient who is a gender reassignment candidate. Jane believes her outside doesn’t match what’s inside. She wants to be a woman completely but needs Sheldon’s recommendation before Charlotte can operate. Jane once tried to commit suicide and Sheldon worries she may be hiding a pain that never truly went away.
