Further details
Carol and Beverly take drastic measures to hide their friendship from an ever-suspicious Helen.
As Beverly tells Carol: "Life was much easier before you became a lesbian!"
With Helen out of town on business there seems to be a window for them to enjoy each other's company, without looking over their shoulders. However, an ill-fated hike puts both Carol's career and Sean and Beverly's show in serious jeopardy.
Meanwhile, it's lights, camera, action, as the shoot day for The Box arrives. Matt unenthusiastically takes centre stage in the role of gameshow host.
Tensions remain high between Matt and the show's producer Merc Lapidus. The two enemies continue to push each other's buttons, with a final push bringing down the house - and an awful lot more.
Notes
Although credited, Mircea Monroe did not appear in this episode.
