In several circumstances, Thomas is having problems with his wife. She is being very annoying and triggering his anxiety and poking at all sorts of mentally sore spots. He is having a hard time coping with it, and trying to figure out what to do about it.

For several days, Thomas has too much happening to be able to keep up with the ritual, and make the walk'n'talk. It is another weekend full of ups and downs, but its also a few days that seems to go by without major mental problems. This episode is a recap of those days.

If there is any way of standing up for yourself and not taking a few punches along the way, that would be great, but life doesn't work that way, does it. Thomas is getting better at speaking his mind, and not bending to other people all the time, but it does create a few bumps along the the road.

For the first time, Thomas goes down to the Medieval Center to re-enact and do woodworking on his own, and even though there was a lot of people there, and people kept coming over to ask all sort of questions, he had fun.

After neglecting the walk'n'talk for several days, Thomas is trying to come back to the routine after a busy and difficult weekend at the medieval center. He managed to do things he wanted, but also encountered conflict and a lot of people.

Trying to get back on track, Thomas makes sure to get back to the ritual and get some of the potential conflicts out of the way, so they don't haunt his unconsciousness and makes him loose his balance, or his mental stability. With the grounding almost re-establish he tries to make plans for navigating the looming weekend in the best possible manner.

In spite of previous promises, Thomas neglects the walk'n'talk and tries to relax from the workouts too. At first it feels good, but soon the damage caches up with him, and suddenly all his hard work is threatening to crumble! The feeling of being sucked back down into the bad state he is trying to get away from, is frightening.

The new psychologist uses a method called schema therapy and Thomas is intrigued by the method. It does seem to open up a lot of thoughts, and things to think about. And as a model, Thomas feels like it could be a potential benefit to research it and learn about it on the side.
