In Treatment 3x21

Yet another intense session with Sunil. When Paul opens the door, he finds Julia, and she has something to say: she is terminating Sunil’s therapy, it has not helped at all, the situation at home has only gotten worse. You can see on her face she is angry, she has a bandage on her arm and informs Paul that there was an incident with Sunil. They had an argument in front of the children, he pushed her and she fell onto a nail in the book case. Then she leaves and Sunil comes in. His side of the story is very different: he was singing a Bengali song to his grandchildren, Julia demanded that he stop, started yelling at him, the children started crying, and when he tried leaving the room, he pushed passed Julia, who scratched herself against the nail. Now Paul really has reason to worry that Sunil might harm someone. If that isn’t enough, Sunil asks him if he may keep an old cricket bat in safe keeping. Tension is rife, but Paul cannot determine whether Sunil is capable of violence. He keeps trying to find out, whether he could hurt Julia, whether there was more to Sunil’s violent dream, whether he ever harmed Manili, but Sunil keeps evading his questions. Paul and Sunil agree there will be one more session, since Julia offered a check for another hour, as Sunil refuses to become a charity case. How is that one extra session going to resolve anything? Will there be some shocking revelation that Paul has been on the wrong track all along? Stay tuned.
