Line 13:
[[Helen Morgendorffer|Helen's]] boss, [[Eric Schrecter|Eric]], is considering her for a big promotion, but before that happens, she and the family must attend a weekend retreat at [[Quiet Ivy]], a "mental health spa", so that the company can evaluate them. [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] thinks that the whole thing is ridiculous, while [[Quinn]] is under the impression that she can get facials and other beauty treatments at the "spa".
At Quiet Ivy, each member of the family undergoes one-on-one therapy sessions: Helen prattles on nervously and self-consciously, [[Jake Morgendorffer|Jake]] pours out his inner torment, Daria barely tolerates the questioning from [[
Things finally come to a head at a group counseling session, where each family member is asked to act out what they think is another's traits. Helen and Jake end up imitating each other, with each escalating things until Jake finally hits too close to home by accusing Helen of being a vicious control-freak who cares more about her job than her family. Shaken and upset, Helen rushes out of the room, with Jake and Daria not far behind (leaving Quinn to complain once again about the lack of facials). Daria finds Helen in the parking lot and reassures her that despite the lack of attention and the long hours she puts in at the office, they know that she's doing it for the good of the family, and that, truth be told, they're all a bit guilty in contributing to their overall dysfunction.
